Many of you know our
Ricki Jill Treleaven.
Her blog is
She has always given of herself
to all of us in many ways.
She has shared her book reviews,
her artwork,
her travels,
her family
and her sweet self.
Sadly, she has been hit with that
horrible word
CANCER.
She has breast cancer.
Even though she has breast cancer
it does not define her.
She posted about it on her blog
but said she will do
NO MORE POSTS ABOUT IT
until she rings the bell when she
finishes treatment.
Here is what she posted:
Right before Thanksgiving, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It required quite a lot of diagnostic testing, and I had my first chemo treatment on December 27th. My prognosis is very good because it was caught early. I will not be blogging about it at all because cancer does not define who I am. It will, however, limit my activities because my immune system is being destroyed. BUT I have fun things planned to do at home, and since all other activities (in person art classes, all travel, DAR, sorority functions, and church) are completely off limits, I will be spending more time blogging. The only other time I will blog about cancer is when I get to ring the bell after my last treatment.
She knows that I am doing this post
so feel free to leave her a message here.
She just does not want her blog
flooded with anything to do with
CANCER.
So, all you praying people know what to do.
Thank you all!
~Sending you MY love~
If you are not a pray-er, then
please send well-wishes and
healing thoughts and vibes her way.
Oh Sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteI have not been to her blog before but will certainly correct that, today…
Thank God it was found early…treatments are a pain in the rear but I believe with all my heart, she’ll breeze
through them all.
And to Miz Ricki herself…Just believe. And whether you know us, or not…please know you are loved.
Head Up, smile…believe.
That’s the ticket…

ReplyDeleteSherry & jack in Florida....
I haven't visited Ricki's blog, I hope she will beat it.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! I will pray for both of you. It would take a lot of willpower for me not to post at all about this. Maybe just give us updates from time to time? I know we care and want to know.

I'm not familiar with this blogger but I'm sending prayers and positive thoughts her way.
ReplyDeleteMany, many prayers. You got this!
ReplyDeletePrayers for our dear RJ!!!
ReplyDeleteThank-you so much for this sweet post, Diana. I also want to thank your readers and their commitment to pray for me. I am a believer in prayer, and I do treasure them. I'm feeling everyone's prayers, too, because I have been handling chemo far better than what was expected from my medical team. I also want to thank all the breast cancer survivors for your encouraging words. Y'all are truly inspirations to me!
ReplyDeleteThat is good of you to post this, you know me, I am a praying woman, and I am asking God to heal her. She has a strong and lovely attitude in her decision about her blog.
ReplyDeleteAs a breast cancer survivor myself (stage 2, diagnosed 2015, lumpectomy, chemo, and radiation), I wish your friend all the best! I wasn't as strong as she is and blogged about it practically every day!
ReplyDeleteMy mother beat breast cancer though her breast on one side was removed. She is now 88 as of Dec 18th. I will say a prayer. God bless her.
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with this blogger but my prayers will be with her. Having a loved one facing cancer we know all too well the value of those prayers!
ReplyDeleteI'll be keeping her in my thoughts ~
ReplyDeleteSending prayers and healing thoughts for a complete recovery.
ReplyDeleteHi Diana I don’t know what’s wrong with blogger these days. Sometimes I have trouble posting on people’s blog comments. For a few months I wasn’t able to leave comments on anyone’s blogs except for one and she was also on blogger so I don’t know why I was able to comment on her blog but no one else’s. You are the second person to say you cannot put my blog on your sidebar 🤷🏼♀️here’s my email address:
ReplyDeletesusan @ the Zyp’s. ca (no spaces)
I pray for Ricki’s healing and mental well being in Jesus name if it’s His will for her to be healed….sometimes His will is that she come home to be with Him…His will be done.
God bless ❤️
🙏🏼
ReplyDeleteI’ve been praying for our sweet friend. 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻
ReplyDeleteRicki, I am praying for you. You are strong and you will get through this.Bonnie Morgan
ReplyDeleteDiana, all good thoughts to Ricki. I don't follow her but what she is going through sounds a lot like my daughter's and she is now 18 years out.xxoJudy
