News on the Cancer Front!

As most of you know by now...I have been diagnosed with Cancer again....Rectal Cancer this time and it is not connected with my original Uterin Cancer. I'm not sure what the battle will entail, but I'm guessing radiation, chemo and surgery with a temporary colostomy....and this probably will stretch out over several months. I won't know more till the results of all my tests comeback and the doctor meets at a Tumor Conference on Wednesday. But I will keep you posted.
Diane's surgery for her Breast Cancer has been postponed till Oct. 22 I think. I'm not quite sure why, but we need to keep praying for her too!
This a.m. I got the following email from Barb Scheiber (Dale's wife...one of the country cousins) with an update on Mary Scheiber Jindric who has lung cancer and has been battling for a couple of years now:

So sorry to hear the news - things were going along pretty good for awhile. We'll say a prayer for you. Thought I'd let you know that Mary Jindrich started chemo this summer and the first round didn't take, so they started her on some stronger stuff. When she got home yesterday she had a hard time breathing and eventually had to go to the ER. They admitted her to St. Cloud Hospital. She's better today but needs to stay through the weekend. They're not sure if this was a reaction to the chemo or not.
Take Care. I hope things work out - doesn't sound like you have an easy road ahead. If there's ever anything I can do for you , just let me know ! Bye Barb

So please keep us all in your prayers!

Note from Ellen Schieber

Hi everyone,

Hello everyone, this is Ellen, Uncle John’s daughter. I am in a competition, If I can sell a specific amount of product in 6 months from my Quixtar business, if I make it, I can go to Hawaii. I need to have 50 people purchase $50 dollars or equivalent. So, I was thinking, with a family as big as ours……………

If everyone that is purchasing a Christmas, baby, wedding, or graduation gift would check out the website prior to going to Wal-Mart or Target, and order a gift certificate or the gift itself, I should be able to achieve my goal.

You can order the gift on-line, not have to spend time fighting the crowds or driving, parking, wasting your time & gas.

Or, if you see personal items that you need and don’t want to go out and pick them up, you could have them delivered to your house. If you like them, we can set up a monthly automatic order for the items. (free shipping when you order $75 or more monthly)

My business has a couple of web sites that you can check out.

http://eschieber.ordermygift.com/ $25 – $750 Gift cards and 2 – 3 night vacations (need to create your own account and password)
special pricing if you want to order more than 5 gift cards (see attached sheet)

https://www.quixtar.com Home, personal, electronics, healthy snack and regular food, nutritional and weight loss products as well as other stuff.
Account: 102268894
Password: Schieber

The password and account number will let you in to view the web site.

When you order, you will need to enter in your billing information and shipping information.

If you have any questions, please contact me at the phone number below.

Thanks in advance, with your help I can make the goal.

Have a great day

Prayer Requests

Mary, could you pass this on to the family, please add sister, Dianne to your prayer lists. Dianne, (Uncle Ed or Eddie's oldest) was diagnosed with breast cancer about 2 weeks ago. Initially, they thought it was ductal carcinoma in situ, but after she requested further testing by MRI they found more spots and did more biopsies, which turned out to be infiltrating and cancerous. Dianne is scheduled for lumpectomy surgery on Friday, Oct 12th and she is very comfortable with her oncologist. After surgery and reviewing all the test results, they will decide the next course of treatment which could be radiation, chemo or both. Dave has been going to appointments with Dianne and Sheri, her daughter and Fatima, her daughter-in-law to be, both work in the medical field so they're adding their feedback and are actively involved in her care.

Jeff Gendreau (Art's son) had neck surgery yesterday! Please put him on the list too. Hi to all, Judy just called me to let you guys know that Jeff went into surgery at 1:30 PM, It's supposed to take about one to one and a half hours They were going to go through the front of his neck and take out one disk than fuse them back together again. Will let you know when Judy calls after surgery.
Frank. .


I am in Chicago for the Marathon, which my Baby Jimbo is running in tomorrow. He also turned 39 yesterday, and I didn't have time to put his picture in....but look for one early next week. Thoughts and Prayers to you all, m cc editor
