I think time has slipped away this summer from me. I kept wanting to give a update & this summer has been busy busy..All I can do to check FB once in awhile.. It has been busy and I have enjoyed every bit of it.. My update with the Cancer.... I just got home Saturday from the Cancer Treatment Center of America where I am being treated and when I had my major surgery last year they told me that the Cancer would come back in a year.. When you are a Stage 3 (as I was) there is no Cure.. the Cancer will go into Remission and then come back.. that is what happened last year when it came back.. Well they said it would be back in 1 year.. As of this visit Friday I am still in Remission.. It has been 1 year and 4 months.. I have been so blessed.. I tell everyone God is not on a time table like the drs.. He has his own schedule.. To him I give the Glory.. This summer has been the best I have had in all my years on this Earth because I know  that in a heartbeat God could call me home... I wake up every day and thank God for each day.. I think of this verse in the bible " Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. " I feel like God has me in a resting period right now to get me ready for the next fight.. What ever my journey is I will go... I still am reminded each day of the Cancer.. Every 3 weeks I go for my Maintenance Chemo ( instead of 3 Chemo drugs I get 1) and will be on this till the Cancer comes back.. I am reminded  every day because with still doing the Maintenance Chemo after I do it I am usually sick for 2-3 days, I get mouth burns all over from the Chemo and very fatigue this time around.. Cancer is a struggle if you want to live but so worth it when you wake up everyday knowing you are still with your love ones. To see the excitement of the little ones when they see you.. Such a pure blessing.. I tell everyone I run into of the Goodness of our Lord and I tell them if you dont believe in God look at me.. With what all I have been through and watch as God showed up in my darkest hours was amazing.. 3 times I should of died and he said NO NOT YET!!! Your work isnt done here yet.... I am speechless....So I will keep living till my work is done..I tell my husband most people think of years in which they will live.. I think of 9 weeks in which I either am still in Remission or the Cancer comes back.. So I will go back in 9 weeks, do my scans, and blood work and see what the Lord has for my life. I hope each and everyone of you are having a good summer.. I see I have now 22,462 people that have signed this petition.. I still am after BCBS to change there policy of not paying for the HIPEC surgery.. it saves lives in women who has this dreadful disease.. I seen another girl the other day & she must only be 22 who has Ovarian Cancer.. It came back 3 times on her and she passed away Friday.. If she would of had the HIPEC surgery her family may of visited her in a hospital room & not a funeral home.. These insurance companies have to change there policy's.. I still am in debt from mine not paying.. it was $40,060 and now from the donations it is down to $35,000.. If the cancer comes back with revenge like this last time (over 90% of my organs) and the insurance company still refuses to pay for it I may be like the 22 yr old.. Hospitals will only let you be so far in debt with them and then they will refuse you.. So please share this to all your people that are on FB with you.. The more people I get backing me the better it is to fight these Insurance Company's.. They say it is a Experimental Surgery. It has been FDA approved for 20yrs now and some insurance company's pay for it with no problems.. Thank you for caring and praying for me.. The Lord hears your prayers.. Hugs to all...                    https://www.gofundme.com/lifesaving-surgery-for-janine-may
