Hi Dear,

I'm so sorry to hear that things aren't going well for you right now. I wish you comfort, strength and peace.

Know how much Jesus loves, I know he is going to be with you step by step.  I am so glad that we have heaven to look forward to!

Just know that you have always been special to me and that I love you.

Blessings and Hugs,

Chana

I think of you and pray for you daily that you will regain your strength after this hospitalization.  May you have daily peace and the comfort of Jesus' love surrounding you.

Love, Marilyn

 Been thinking about you as we have been spending some time with seasoned missionaries (Bill and Cheryl). Then Cheryl thought to check your site here, and I noticed your adorable family picture! Love it! What a beautiful portrait of a beautiful family. Was this family camp?

Hope you are feeling well today. Thoughts and prayers are always with you. Much love. 

Dear Auntie Karren and Uncle Dave:

Great to read your update and knowing things go well.

Best wishes to you!

Hugs,

Susan

So glad to see your update.  I have wondering how things have been going for you.  Sounds like your holidays with the family were extra special.  God is good!  Keep in touch. Love and Hugs!

Hi Karen:  My holiday wishes for you my dear friend include peace and joy in the presence of family and in the knowledge our loving God is in control in all things.  I pray for your continued healing and courage through all this treatment process.  Much love, Marilyn

Hi Karen, I am Dr. McFadden's patient from Florida.  I called his office when I couldn't pull up your website.  So glad it is working and thrilled the chemo has brought your count down. I just wanted you to know that I always think positive thoughts and pray for your every day.  Maybe it has something to do with our name.  I look up at our beautiful sky here in Florida and talk to God about you.  Keep updating us on your progress. Karen Allen

 Love, love, love your family picture!  I really like how the children are surrounding you.  So happy your CA 125 numbers are coming down.  God is good.  He is holding you in the palm of His hand!  Love you, Connie

Karen, I'm glad your blog is back up and running again.  What a great family picture.  It's so nice to see everyone all together.  I'm praying for you during the next round of blood work and chemo.  Love always, Marilyn

Hi Karen,

Hope you are enjoying your time in China.  What a lovely family picture below.  You all look great, especially you, Karen!

Daily praying for you,  Cheryle

Hi Karen,

Just wanted to let you know that we're praying for you and thinking about you and your family.  It was good to see your parents a couple weeks ago and they updated us on your progress!  Stay positive and know that you're in God's care.

Love,

Sallie

Am praying that it will work out for the best.

Love you.

Karen,

We were so happy to see you today in church and see that you are in such a positive mood. We want to let you know how much we appreciate you and Dave. We will be praying for both of you as you go through chemo again. We hope you have safe travels to Chile and enjoy the time together.

Thanks for the use of your home for our wedding guests. You are an angel! This is a great help to us.

Hugs to you both,

Robin & Ivan

Karen:

I just wanted to let you know that Elena and I will keep praying for you.  You are an overcomer, so remain strong.

 Hi! Karen

It was so good to hear from you again. I enjoyed seeing the pictures from your Memorial Day weekend. Those grandchildren we share are precious. Surgery is never fun, glad your parents are there to help take care of you, while Dave is at work. Want you to know we keep praying. "With God all things are possible". It will be great if you will be able to go with Dave on the trip you had planned. I am sure you will, you are a fighter, you are up and about already.  Love, Shirley

 Hi! Karen

I what you to know I have been thinking and praying for you. You have many challenges to face, but your faith is strong and that will carry you through. You are an inspiration to me. This text Job 4:9 has given me comfort.

"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." 

Just want you to know that Ken and I  have you and your family in pray daily.

Dear Auntie karen:

Please take good care of you! God is watching and helping you, we're praying for you!

Miss you,

Susan

I tried to post a note on facebook but it did not seem to go.

Sorry for the latest report.  It is not what we hoped for.  But

God is in control and we know His love for you is strong.

I pray that the docs will know what to do.

Love you much, aunt neeny

It has been awhile since I have checked in on you~~looks like you have had some fun and exciting trips with time spent with family and friends. I  hope things are going well. I wanted to take the time to say hello and to say Happy Spring! May God's blessings continue to be with you.

Thinking of you,

Becky (your former nurse from 5-4)

Hi Karen,

Sitting at my computer as the sun is setting .  Welcoming in the Sabbath and thinking of you.  I hope you are feeling better after the surgery and other treatment. I will keep praying that God will add His very special blessing to your doctors and their treatments.

Vanessa saw her doctor today and it sounds like baby will be coming soon.  We are awaiting the call.  I have my suitcase packed.  She is having a little boy.  Remember our days in Taiwan when we were the ones having the babies?  Doesn't seem so long ago.  Now we are grandparents!

Love and prayers, Jeanne

Hi Karen:  I''m in Walla Walla but I have been thinking of you and praying for you as I know you had surgery yesterday and the other procedure (oblation) today.  I hope all is going well.  I'll try calling soon.  Love, Marilyn

Hi Karen,

Although I do not reply often I appreciate your blog. You have impressed me through all your treatment. We seem to need to stay close to home this past year and today I started my PARP inhibitor drug in this new research by  Abbott.  Being in this research I spend the whole day receiving my chemo drugs in the morning and blood draws all day long.  They end up taking about 150 cc.

May you continue to have great results from your treatment.  I pray your surgery will go well if that is what they decide to do.

Take care dear friend, Barbara

Just to let you know that I am glad that you still blog.

And that I love you.  auntie

Hi Karen, I've had you on the brain sooo much.  I pray for you often and I'm so glad that you and your husband are going on your trip.  It sounds like so much fun!  Have a great time and create some new memories.  I'm praying for your safe travels too.  Enjoy!      Love, Phyllis 

I was glad to see your picture -- way to go, Girl !!  I stopped at Camp AuSable a few weeks ago, and was interested to see the pictures of camps in the Craft Building hall.  Some of those go back to the 40s.

I saw your folks at Metropolitan SDA School Grandparents Lunch.  Dick and Marge Rasmussen were there too.  They were friends of my uncle Charles Everest at EMC in the late 40s.  I was so surprised when I grew up to find how short Marge was.

Our love and prayers are with you in your journey.  I'm amazed that you've felt as well as you do and have been able to fit many trips around your treatment.  We're so glad for the blog.

Fondly, Kathy

Dear Karen,

I was waiting to get your message today.  I am praying you won't be so nauseated this time - hope the new med makes a difference.  I'm glad you got to talk to that lady in the chair next to you as that is such an encouragement to me to know that even though you have to go through chemo again, your future looks good.  Your pictures are also an encouragement to me as you look great and wonderfully well!  Keep up your courage.  I jotted 1 Peter 5:7 down some time ago because I thought of you when I read it.  It gives us comfort when the going gets tough!   "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."  You are always in my daily prayers.

Love you and think of you often, Cheryle

Hi Karen,

 I want you to know we are so happy you are doing well.  Glad your chemo went well and numbers are good.   You will be in our prayers this Friday evening that God will continue to bless you and give you complete healing.

Love and Prayers,  Jeanne

Karen,

What wonderful news.  It is so encouraging to read your blog.  We continue to pray for you and your family.     We look forward to the day when you are cancer free!   Thanks for the updates.  I hope you have a wonderful trip, especially to your Weaver family reunion.  Have fun at camp!!  (we sure did!)

Carol and Jens

Health Camp 2009

Just caught up on all of your summer events. Hadn't read anything since your May 7th post. So glad that you've done well with your chemo & have had positive results. God is good & you truly are blessed!

Hi Karen,

Hopefully by now you are feeling really good again.  That is my prayer for you today! 

Lots of love,  Cheryle

So glad for the results!!  Wasn't a CA125 test of 16 as low as it got last time???

Hi Karen - Praise God for all the good numbers!  I am thrilled you are feeling so well too!  How nice to have Jevon and family so close now!  Miss you and love you, Connie

Hi!  I've had you on the brain...keeping you in prayer for continued minimal side effects and success with your chemo.  I hope you and Ellen had a BLAST in China.  I keep updated on your progress at our Wednesday bible studies.  God is good and we continue to pray that you feel His loving arms around you daily.  He is an amazing source of strength.  We're so blessed  that he's in all of our lives.  Love, Phyllis   

Dear Auntie Karen:

So nice to read your update notes and glad to know everything goes well on you. God bless!

You must be very happy to have your grandkids around you. Do you have any plans to visit China in October as you mentioned before?

Miss you, Love and hugs!

Susan

Hi Karen:

I so enjoyed being with you for a whole week.  It reminds me how important friendship really is.  I'm so thankful you are doing well through this chemo.  Thanks for everything during my visit.  I hope we Taiwan girlfriends can get together in January or February to do something "fun in the sun".  God is good and I trust Him to continue to keep you.

Love, Marilyn

Hi Karen,

I am hoping and praying the next round of chemo is a go.  I'm anxious to read your report.

Are the grandchildren coming to stay with you soon?  I know you will have a great and busy time with them.

Lots of love,  Cheryle 

Hey Kido,

It's great to read about how wonderful all your traveling has been and that you have been feeling so good.

It looks like overall the reports have been good and I am praying that your white count is up for tomorrow.

"The Lord our God is right in everything he does"  Daniel 9:14

Keep your Faith, Love ya.  CK

So glad for the new results.

How many doses do they expcet to give you this round??

Love you and see you soon, auntie

Hi Karen, I think about you and pray for you often.  I am so grateful that God is giving you strength, energy, and (seemingly) minimal side effects with this round of chemo.  Keep up the good work!  And God's blessings and prayers for more successes with your chemo.  Love, Phyllis

I am so glad you are feeling well.

I have been praying that this might be a real cure.  What sort of results are they getting in this study??  Or do they tell you that??

Gregory is having a great time in Ethiopia.  Doing much more fun stuff that he sees in the states.  With what they have scheduled now they will be up to 35 thyroids.  Plus a lot of other cases.  He has just one more week.

Love you,  auntie

 Karen,  It is wonderful to read how God is strengthening and blessing you through your treatments!   Thank you for keeping us all updated along the way.  Your energy and activities are enough to wear a person out just reading them  !  God is so good!

You, Dave, and your kids continue to be in our prayers and thoughts!

Hi Karen!  This is a voice (well ... sorta) from the past!  Michael Tan from YAH here!  Yes, we are still in Michigan and still in Berrien Springs.  I was just recently pointed to your site.  Karen, my prayers are with you.  May God give you the strength you need to fight this that Satan has put in your path.  There will be days when you do not feel like He is there but God will ALWAYS be right there beside you.

I will continue to pray for you that God's will be done and His name is glorified in all you do...in your journey to healing...in your life, as you continue to let Him lead.

Please say my warmest regards to Dave. 

God's blessings.

Your old friend,

Michael Tan -- mikegtan@gmail.com
