I'm not sure if this is even going to make it past the editor, as I'm not quite clear on such matters. But I'm taking my chances, because I know that everything happens exactly as it should. It's called 'faith'!
While this may be a bit out of the ordinary for article sites, I can't think of anything that can ultimately have such a profound effect on the person who is sitting in a chair, for hours, as the poison called "chemo" is pumped into the body. I cannot even imagine what that would be like (nor do I care to!). But when I read what I read today, I knew I had to do something...anything to help. It is to that end, I offer this posting.
A friend of mine sent this out today. I'm not going to change it in any way. I'm simply going to offer it up to YOU, and if you are so inspired, ask you to "play" with us. It's called a Love Chain. It's purpose is to uplift someone who's undergoing chemo. It'll take you however long it takes you to read the note, and then send an email. That's IT. So, if you believe in the power of Love...and the power of collective energy, then please read on.
(the note from Terri)
i got this note today from an incredible young woman.
i LOVE the idea!!! i'm gonna clip her note as she explains it perfectly!
THEN if you guys want to play....how about you email any notes my way?
and pass my email addy to your friends who would play. then i'll copy them
and make a chain for janene!!! janene is my sister in law who is going thru
chemo right now for TWO rare forms of ovarian cancer. she could really
use this!!!

was thinking about your friend yesterday..... and I had a thought.... when my best friend's mother was going through her chemo/radiation treatments, one of her friends started creating "links of love" for her. She had a whole bunch of her friends take these strips of paper and write messages on them- prayers, quotes, thinking of you's, little funnies, etc. And then her friends had their friends write them. And then their friends had their friends do it... and so on and so on. Then she took the papers and formed them into a chain-- like the ones kids make at Christmas time. Then everytime someone sent a new link, they just added it to the chain, to the point where it eventually got so long it circled the room twice. She said it really lifted her mom's spirits that so many people were thinking of her, even people she'd never even met.
Getting to my point. I don't know if something like that would help your friend or not. Or if it would even be something she'd be comfortable with. Our prayer group here at work has made links for a few other people over the years, and I know they would do it for your friend in a heartbeat. And judging from all the comments your friends left on your facebook status yesterday, I'm sure there'd be a whole lot of links flowing in from all kinds of places.
