Prayer Needed for a Special Friend

I have a friend with stage four lung cancer.  She desperately needs your prayers.  She is not doing well.  She is in a round of chemo and radiation that is kicking her butt.  We are hoping and praying that it is taking care of the cancer too. 

The problem with cancer treatments are that they often do as much or more damage to the healthy part of the body.  I also know that mental and emotional attitude can have a large impact on the success of the treatments.  I found out that the skin on her legs is drying out so bad that it is peeling off worse than mine does after a sunburn.  Then I remembered that Vitamin E oil will help not only moisturize her legs but it will replenish the Vitamin E that she is losing from the treatments.

I had some Vitamin E oil that was mixed together with Eucalyptus.  As a test to how she would react to it, I took some out there and gave her a leg massage.  She loved it and today we picked up more oil so that she could get a daily treatment.  She has many bird feeders and loves watching the birds.  But the treatments have left her feeling colder than normal.  Getting outside to watch the birds is becoming very difficult.  To encourage her, I have taken some pictures of her birds.  I will be making her a collage of pictures for her to enjoy on those bad days.  Here are my favorites:
