I need a miracle.

I need a miracle.

Hello my fellow seniors, I hope everyone is well. Me not so much sadly.

As some of you know I have terminal lung cancer and my doctor is talking about pallative care, which scares the living s*** out of me.
What I need from you guys is prayers, or if you don't pray please sending healing thoughts my way.
I'm terrified and i'm not ready to go so if you could please find it in your heart to pray for me i'll be forever grateful.
Not being a religious person myself, which is changing because I have prayed, and I would never normally ask this of anyone, I haven't even told anyone except of course my partner and you guys in here because I trust you all.
So if you don't mind taking a few minutes out of your day I would be so grateful.
My real name is Dawn Hancock, if that helps at all, or Dawn Tomkinson which is my ex husbands name.
Thank you everyone, I really appreciate your help and caring

Palliative care is a type of care that focuses on improving the quality of life for people with serious illnesses, such as terminal lung cancer. It involves a team of healthcare professionals who work together to provide:
- *Symptom management*: Relief from pain, shortness of breath, nausea, and other symptoms
- *Emotional support*: Counseling, therapy, and emotional support for patients and their loved ones
- *Practical support*: Assistance with daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing, and eating
- *Spiritual support*: Support for patients' spiritual or existential concerns
- *Coordination of care*: Help navigating the healthcare system and coordinating care with other healthcare providers

Palliative care can be provided in various settings, including:
- *Hospitals*: Palliative care teams are often part of hospital care
- *Hospices*: Specialized care for people with terminal illnesses
- *Home care*: Palliative care can be provided in the comfort of the patient's own home
- *Outpatient clinics*: Some palliative care services are available in outpatient clinics

You can inform your friend that palliative care is not about giving up, but rather about living as fully as possible, with dignity and comfort, despite the illness. It's a supportive care that can help improve her quality of life.

Would you like more information on palliative care or resources for your friend?

That’s so sweet of you she’s in care so she might not have a phone so she might not even be receiving these posts, as she’s not been on here since Sunday.

Suzanne rose · Thursday at 12:45 PM

Dawn I'm so sorry to hear this, I haven't stopped praying for you since you told me.

Please if there is anything you need let me know.

I was going to call you but misplaced your number.

Please let us know how you are .

I'm praying

that you are not suffering and if you can't be healed then you find peace.

Please don't be afraid. It will be just another journey
I'm sending you hugs
