Intheswamp said: It's been a long time since I've been here, but the Vegetable and Fruit forum was basically where I hung out. I've never been accused of being PC, so I'm posting this here. I know there's lots of good people here, many of you fellow Christians.

I'm asking for prayer for my wife, Gena. We found out July 10 that she had a mass on her left lung. She is the health conscious one, unlike me. She would walk 3-4 miles several times a week and exercise regularly. We are both ex-smokers...having quit some 16 years ago. Since finding the mass, through CT, biopsy, PET scan, etc., she has been diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer. The cancer is non-small-cell and is in her left lung in both lobes. The PET scan did not detect cancer elsewhere. We head out this morning to the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital to meet with a surgeon. General prayer is much desired for her. Specific prayer would be that the surgeon believe he can remove the lung/cancer and that he deems Gena able to physically handle living with one lung. I believe she can handle having only one lung, she is a strong and feisty 4'10" tall lady. She's a devout Christian, *very* active in our church and in our local jail ministry...she has a love for anyone she meets but her heart especially is tender for children. Please pray for her comfort, peace, healing, and God's presence throughout the journey ahead of her and me. Thank you so much. Ed

Go bless her. Since we are in a plant loving forum, i want to drag your attention to some healing herbs that it's believed to have anti cancerous properties: calendula, horsetail, stinging nettle and yarrow. The author Maria Treben writes in her book "Health from God's pharmacy" that 2 liters of this tea should be taken daily. This plants will help in the treatment of cancer. She also reccomends Swedish Bitter.
