From Debbie Young

My faithful prayer line,

Please continue your prayers for my healing, my doctors who are directing my care plan.  The surgery I had last week was rougher than expected for recovery, but I am doing very well.  One lymph node tested positive for cancer, so the BIG anticipated surgery, which was to have been today is off the table.  We are moving with a program of radiation and chemotherapy - preliminary set up is already in the works.  I have been blessed with great support from family, friends, my parish family.  In addition I am going to the Cancer Center that is in St. John's Hospital, amazing place!

For anyone that is going through this battle of cancer, if you have not tried or met with the Cancer Center at St. John's in Oxnard, I highly recommend it, I was referred by Father Peter, what a blessing this visit was to both Bob and I.  Ventura has one also, but Oxnard offers much more.  Just a thought, I know what just the initial visit brought to us.  So check it out~AWESOME!
