Going Beyond Once again...Day Six

Day six was uneventful. I took a stack of Spanish magazines to CCare I also took some hats and scarfs to the ladies that have Chemo and Radiation it is Cold for them. When it is hot we are cold still our bodies have a harder time warming up. If you would like to donate to Cancer Patients adults and Children make lap blankets, Little pillows, Funny Hats, Sassy hats, fun hats, beautiful hats, Scarfs, fingerless gloves. the Fingerless gloves can have extra large holes in the wrist area just incase that is where the IV is most have central lines because our veins can only handle so much.

The last six days of treatment I have been eating my family out of house and home. I never have had a big appetite I eat like a bird always been the joke of the family. I guess because the hormones that my adrenal glands never produced the right amount of hormones maybe that is what is balancing my hunger. I don't mind being hungry better that losing weight. in 2010 I weighed 103lb. from 153 lbs and I was toned at the time it is hard to not work out, or have the energy to work out, to run, to walk, to shop, blog or anything kind a of erks me but it will pass. The Doctors and radiologist are positive that we are going to beat this. The hardest part is that I have only one kidney and it seems like this may come back again I am praying and believing on the Name of above all JESUS Christ to heal me completely as he said. My Daughter receive your healing pick up your be and walk!!! I take those words from him and I am standing in faith. Yes I will have radiation and chemo but I will not suffer the effects of the medications God has done the miracle already he is guiding the doctors to his Glory. It is simply amazing how God is makes himself so real to you when you are close to going home. It is up to him.  I would love a new body and to be in Heaven but I have my family and friends and God is using me to ministry to them with love. I don't need to tell them anything I am just going to Love everyone as God commanded he also tells us to separate ourselves from those who would hurt you and cause pain you pray for those people with all the love in your heart. Those are the ones that need it. I thank God for another day of NO SIDE EFFECTS, I PRAISE HIS NAME THRU THIS PAIN believing in his healing power, his comforting power, his amazing Grace and Mercy. Looking forward to day seven. Have my boxing gloves on and we are ready Kidney Cancer you are gone in the Name of Jesus never to return leaving this one kidney I have fully functional. I praise your name Jesus. You said I only need Faith of a mustard seed that I have that my adrenal gland and kidney will come out completely whole and healed from Cancer in JESUS Name!
Praising God I will not loose my Hair for his Glory and Honor!

 Praising his name everyday for all that he does for me and my family, His healing power, his grace and mercy!
I have to wear sun hats this summer because of the radiation I am going back to the dollar store and I am making about six more hats to leave at Ccare for us Extra Rays of sunshine. If you find strawhats at the dollar store by some drop them off at your local cancer center or American cancer Society they are needed for the people going thru radiation this summer it is going to be a hot one. If you don't have time but want to donate send me $1.10 per hat to my paypal bobbimorales@hotmail.com note in comments for Summer hats I will buy and emblish them and leave at the CCare you can request your name to be known or unknown. I will make sure and do exactly what is directed to do with each donation!!! I take donation for yarn to make hats for the Children at Valley Childrens Hospital again paypal bobbimorales@hotmail.com comment in notes for yarn to make hats for CHILDRENS CANCER WARD. Thank you!

Going Beyond ....Day Five Radiation therapy...

Keeping my spirits up! Thank God for no side effects just tired and pain but that is nothing new. Greater is he that is in us Than he that is in the world. My God is mighty and if you gave me a promise I can take that to the bank most people think God will lye to them because of what man has done to them. I have beat down, tore up, wash up and out, at the end of my rope. God comes in just like a knight in shinning armor and makes it all better. WOW!!! What a might God. I know some of you may think I am crazy maybe I am but for Jesus. How may out there have went to a party and because you drank to much you make a fool of yourself. Well with God I will be a fool and I am sober. He has given my such a peace. The first two times I had Cancer it was cured by surgery this is the first time radiation and chemo is used, then they are doing radiation first instead of chemo. The doctors get together and make a plan of attack when they find out you have tumor that is cancer CCare doctors are awesome. They make you feel like is all going to be fine. Keep us in prayer because our insurance issues are not fixed but the Doctor are treating me anyway, God is good. If you would like to help us thru our time of need we will say thank you. Cancer Society has not funding to help with transportation and buy food. I must eat more than once a day we don't qualify for help anymore. God provides us with so much but when you are ill there are always new expenses donate paypal bobbimorales@hotmail.com Please note what you are donating for Food, Medication, transportation, I would like to use it where you intended it thank you. As always God bless the Giver and bless those who would like to give but are have hard time lift them up Lord !

I have two day off then Monday I go in to radiation at 12:40pm then Tuesday thru Thursday at 10:30 Friday I see the Oncologist Dr. Passcuzzo at 8am hope I can wake up that early. Like I said I am tired and sleepy a lot. The pain I was expecting more but it seems to stay under control right now. Of course if can change at anytime. Due to the radiation being so near my kidney they will check the function I am praying and standing in faith that I will not lose function of my kidney. AMEN! If you read this and I sound crazy well I seriously don't care. I know God is real and if it takes faces death and believing God is going to see you thru so be it. I don't mine showing you God Mercy, how mighty he is, How forgiving he is. I am grateful for my life. I did ask why me Lord, but themm I thought well why not me Lord it is what you do thru these times that will either make you or break you. I know where I am going if I dye tomorrow, DO you? Ask Jesus to show you anything and he will God bless and keep you all in the Grace and mercy of God forever. I will write again on Monday please share your stories email me at nanascrafts@outlook.com

Going Beyond Day Four.....


Here I am on day four feeling great with my new sweater and boots from Classy N Sassy Boutique. I love shopping when my son give me the green light I am delighted...lol. I only asked because they were both in my size and on clearance. Anyhow day four of radiation.

I am in a little more pain and tired like I can barely keep my eyes open but my appetite is great eating well and often not getting sick and I am praying I don't! I lot of things try and bring you down but you must keep yourself up. If you rely on others it will fail you. I am just very tired. I was able to get some life insurance before this all happened with is great. I hope it goes thru, Fingers crossed. They doctors are more than sure that we will beat this. They are going to be putting me on some medication for nausea and vomiting, I forget what they are called, it will also provide the medication I need to slow down any progression of any other cancer cells in my body. I am tired going to sleep before the sun. Hope you leave some comments need the interactions to help my Alexa score thank you for reading my boring story!

Going beyond~day three

I slept good no side effects. Thank you Jesus from the Radiation, it feels like R2D2 is the radiation machine...lol. I am in great spirits, I have pain it is trying but I am comfortable. Ccare In Fresno California is the best place. Our Dr. Pazzcuszo is great he is a military man he attacks this disease like a battle, I am in the battle to win. I have one kidney I don't drink or do drugs, I tried them when I was young but this disease is Inherited, it is in your genology, This type of cancer can show up anywhere, it is slow the tumors show up but slowly, My brother had a Cancer that took him within a year. I wish they knew what they do now, maybe my brother would be here. I know/believe he is happy and in a better place no more pain, no more worries, no more problems, He was my baby brother I never thought he would leave me. We never argued or fought if I got mad he would just say in a sad voice "aww birdman"  and I would stop  My family nickname is Birdie.
 Anyhow radiation  treatment lasts about 10 minutes I feel fine just tired. I try to nap it is hard to nap but someone has to do it...hehehe.. I would like to attend bible study tonight , I am going to have to make a schedule and stick to it. It helps to be around others. I love our group at church which means I must nap because I will be out and about at 7:30pm, which has been my bedtime, Hum I need to change it up. We also have a women's ministry I love but have not attended yet I look forward to meeting with these you ladies. I am amazed at the organization my daughter has to keep, all these programs to help our Humble church grow! Bless her Lord, Amen! Bless Our Senior pastors Wife also she does so much.   I took a stack of flyers for our church to the cancer center and they are gone! Amen I prayed over them maybe some people will find comfort there,
Just recently a woman in our church God healed her from stage 4 Breast Cancer!!! Her faith healed her!! God is good if we have faith to believe in him.
It is hard because we cant see him but you can feel him and know him thru the word of God. I guess you figured out how I get thru my third battle against Cancer. I am in it to Win, BABY!!! (Rocky Music play in the background gloves on and holding them him I am ready with Jesus with me who dare come against me!) With God in my Heart all things are possible.
I went to radiation today, takes about 10 mins. Met a sweet young girl her first time I shared with  her and let her know Ccare is great with their patients! They Listen! They make you feel well. Most places you go for help or a doctors visit they are not nice, it make you feel more sick, the stress of negative people when you are praying to be positive. They are great there at CCare I will be doing my review of their treatment and I will provide links and help soon. As I said no effects just a little tired and slightly more pain (I can handle pain! cant handle not breathing lol) I have medication that is helping me. I am Blessed!!!

I am going to post picture of me today because I receive my gift from my son BOOTS and an awesome sweater please see my blog on these items I am writing a review on them.
 
Here I am after only three days of Radiation! Have my boxing gloves on and ready to fight the Good Fight God will fight the Cancer AMEN !
This is my third battle with Cancer first time with Radiation and Chemo I will be documenting my time thru this because it helps me to get it out thank you for reading and share your stories of whatever you are going thru! We can help one another Amen! Remember GOD IS LOVE!

Going Beyond once again- Second Radiation treatment

Well I am not glowing or noticing anything only allergies and they made me sick to my stomach. This is my third battle against Cancer the first time I have to have radiation and Chemo. The Chemo will be a pill. Yes I am concerned with my health because I only have one kidney but I am not scared because God Is with me. My faith sub stains me thru this battle. God says the battle is his and God don't lie. Man will let you down God will not. They caught it early this time PRAISE GOD. The hardest part is to see fear in my husband. I wish I could give him my faith but that is something he has to find. I love God and no matter what happens he is in control what can I do? on my own I would be wanting to reach in and pull out that tumor my only kidney I can be saying we me Lord but I will say why not me, it can happen to anyone. My baby brother Vincent lost the battle against Cancer but he won the War. He is in Heaven this I know because the bible tells me so, and he was servant of God. My son in Love was healed from Cancer over 14 yrs ago. AMEN God is Good. We just have to hold on for the ride of life. We have no control over the events that take place but we can control our attitude and handle this with Grace and Dignity. I thank God for the prayers that are said for me. I thank God for the Pain because I can feel I am alive! No matter what God is my Anchor he will keep the waters from flooding my boat. Amen.

I am writing this journey in hopes it will help someone else learn to accept what they are going thru and Be happy no matter what. If you need to talk visit my facebook page Http://facebook.com/nanascraftsandbeyond message me call me I will be more than willing to talk to you and pray with you!

Finances are not easy when you have a illness and sometimes you have to pay for your own medical bills does not mean it is easy. Life always has its stresses we are grateful for blessings. thank you for reading I hope all is good with everyone.

Going beyond once more....My first day of Radiation...

to say the least many things go thru your mind, what is happening, what can happen, what do I do, how do I act?

I have peace I have a strong faith that I am healed already. Receiving radiation on the only Kidney you have is crazy, but fear is something I don't feel. Doubt of my believe tries to creep in but I pray and pray Jesus Jesus the sweetest name I know that feeling is gone as quickly as It came. I am young, strong, and I cant give up and let Cancer take me down. I feel helpless because I am independent and outgoing this I am not use to. I like control I had been out of control of my life before with depression but I was healed perfectly and I feel wonderful. No more up and down rollercoasters of emotions I am staying with my eyes on the Lord facing forward looking forward to life, happiness, joy and my family. God put them in my life to give me strength to go thru all the things I have and come out stronger. I don't give up easy they only man that has never lied to me is Jesus Christ and he told me I am healed I am standing on the belief that it is done. Day one went fine without a hitch..see ya tomorrow for day two.....

just like this flowing stream Gods love flows thru my life thank you Jesus for you Love and Strength. for the stripes you endured for our disease for by your stripes we are healed! Praise the Lord!

Earth, Wind and Fire - "That's The Way of The World"


We are going beyond .......

The mass is very small and they are positive that I will be ok...It took about 15 minutes. As I said it will be for five weeks only Saturday and Sunday off and stay out of the Sun. I love the Sun! Being morena when I was younger the sun felt good, I was darker so lying out was something I enjoy doing not for long periods who has time to lye out more that 15 min I sure don't....lol. My grandchild love swimming and are full of life it will be a great summer...I am looking forward to everyday. Have a wonderful weekend be blessed and I will be post how the first treatment went and if I feel like a raisin ....lol

Going Beyond Once more.....Tomorrow is the trial run....

Recap: Cancer is a scary word I have said this before. In 2009 my right kidney was removed on January 17, 2014 they found a cancer mass on my left adrenal gland. What is an adrenal gland. I had the same question. I is a gland on the top of your kidney it produces hormones and helps maintain your homeostasis of your body. Your heart rate, body pressure they are replacing my adrenal gland with medication that I will be on for the rest of my life. The Good News my only Kidney is working like a champ.  Your adrenal gland is in charge of your energy level.

I recently found a recipe for cold oatmeal that is said to help maintain energy and heart health. Cold mushy stuff makes my stomach feel better and calms me for want ever reason. I was told by the C-Care Doctor that I need to set up a serious routine everyday stay to it. It needs to include breakfast before treatment and make sure no lotions are on the area where the radiation treatment will hit. I tire easily, I have my work cut out for me. I must bathe daily with my long hair it makes it hard but I will not cut my hair. My Husband loves my ugly fly away hair....lol. Tomorrow it begins the first round is a practice run to make sure it is hitting the place they want. I will be going Monday thru Friday for 5 weeks then I will start Chemo in a pill form. The first time I had kidney cancer is was discovered at stage 2 and it had taken over my kidney they were hoping to only have to take the adrenal gland. This time it is in the early stages and I have a strong chance of beating this and I believe I will.
 
The doctors said it will not be a strong radiation or chemo and they will monitor me closely, they will listen when I say I don't think it is gone. I had the feeling for a long time. The Doctor said the type of Cancer that hit me is a slow moving Cancer which is wonderful if you have to have Cancer hope is slow right....I feel better that I have in the last 5 years, one year after the removal of my right kidney I went down to 103lbs. My Doctor gave me an Iron Infusion and some medicine to make me eat. As you can see I am not 103 lbs I gain 50lbs and have be able to maintain it. Thanks to my Husband he is good to me he makes sure I eat even if he feels to sick he still cooks for me. I am grateful for the man God put in my life. He has stood by me, taken care of me when I couldn't and with love I am truly blessed. tonights meal before the practice run tomorrow is posted below. Served in bed because he wants me rested we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow. My breakfast Peaches and Cream Cold oatmeal ready for the morning with my Cinnamon tea. Life is wonderful I feel great I have my boxing gloves and I am ready to begin the FIGHT.


Red Potatoes Mashed with Pepper and Coconut Oil fried chicken. Coconut Oil makes the food tastes really good. It also keeps your liver trans fats at great numbers. Well until tomorrow I will post how the practice run went and when we will start the real deal God Bless and Peace..Nana Roberta

FILRETE Water filtering system! HAVE YOU TRIED ONE? I LOVE MINE COMMENT HERE BOTTLE OR FILTERED WATER IN YOUR HOME?

SHOULD WE HAVE A WALMART GIFT CARD GIVEAWAY PLEASE COMMENT?

This pitcher holds one gallon. The filters can last up to three months or one hundred gallons. I was spending $104 per month on bottle water and water delivery. Living on a limited income you have to let go of your luxuries. Sad to say Bottle Water is a luxury that I cannot afford.

 The systems I found at Walmart. is perfect for my budget. I look at the other brands of drinking systems but the filters were outrageously high more than $10.Comparing with other drinking systems there were two sizes for most brands of filtering system., A five gallon and a one gallon. the filter prices were what I was looking at no need in buying a system then not be able to purchase a new filter; The cost for the one Gallon Pitcher which included a filter was $14.98 and the filter were $9.98 and last three months.
 You ask how do you know when to change your filter well the button on the filter will turn red all the way across. It is going on two months since I bought this system and this is were the button is right now. I drink nothing but water, No sodas or Juice only once in awhile I will drink something else like soda or juice. I only have one kidney and drinking water can make my stomach upset from the tap. I use the drinking water delivery service before and paid $104 monthly. Plus I bought  at least four cases of drinking water extra a month. that is 1/8 of my income. I was uneasy about trying these new systems. I had to make sure I could afford the filter. I am saving up for the 5 gallon container also but the filters are more than under $10, I am stocking up on my gallon filters now. My husband gave me the idea to try because he said this is what the send to the people who have disasters and need drinking water. I thought if it works for them and they are not getting sick it will work on my tap water.

I love this drinking system I don't taste any difference it taste just like spring water. I am glad I shopped around and found a drinking system that would be affordable to me. I love it I don't think I will go back to delivery or buying cases of water again. I am getting the 5 gallon Filtere and filters for camping trips and beach trips, traveling in general.

BY CHANGING FROM BOTTLE WATERS TO A DRINKING FILTERED SYSTEM I AM HELPING TO SAVE THE INVIROMENT! #GREENPEACE DID I MENTION THE FILTERS ARE RECYCLABLE? #SAVEOURINVIROMENT #RECYCLEREUSESAVE

This is the opinion of http://facebook.com/nanascraftsandbeyond I was not compensated for this review it is solely my opinion. Thank you for your time and thank you for your comments. You are appreciated!

My Journey the third time is a charm


In 2009 I was dx with Kidney Cancer and my right kidney was removed. It is now 2014 and I am facing Kidney Cancer again. A mass has appeared on my adrenal gland it is the size of an asprin. How could something small be deadly. I will start with 5 weeks of radiation I will be post my progress, I find that writing helps maintain my sanity. It is my hope that someone will find encouragement though my journey as they go thru theirs. Life is what you make of it. If you keep getting lemons, make lemonade and sell it..Keep yourself busy. If being around others is to much for you. Then pray and read the word and ask God o help you to decide who you should separate yourself from to avoid stress. Sometimes family don't understand what you are going thru and they can be in denial. You know it is not just a river in Egypt...lol.

Your adrenal gland does a lot for your body. It produces hormones and helps with endurance. Doctors are able to maintain your hormones thru medications should your adrenal gland be destroyed you can still live with no adrenal glands I am hope for a wonderful quality of life. I believe if I keep my spirits up and stay positive! I will beat this and come out just fine with a great quality of life.

Many things are hitting us and we are having to pay 20% of all my medical bills is going to hit us hard. we don't qualify for programs so we are face with out of pocket. I don't know how much 5 weeks of radiation is going to be. Nor do I know if they are going to cover the chemo pills after I am done. I have a paypal account and I will take donation. I will also sent documentation of my illness if requested. my paypal bobbimorales@hotmail.com I realize many people lie and take money from people and they are not in need or sick. I ask that you pray about it, even $1 helps. God bless the giver and help those who can not give. Bless those who simply don't want to give. I realize this is not your problem but the internet is a tool I use to help us make ends meet. I sale crafts on my site Http://facebook.com/nanascraftsandbeyond I use the money from my crafts for supplies and to pay for my doctor copays and for medication not covered by my insurance.

I will be posting after every treatment recording my journey one day this will all be a memory...God Bless until we meet again
