All of you who have been reading this blog may have noticed a few mentions we have made of Casey's girlfriend Liz and how she has started a tough fight against a very aggressive cancer. Up until now I have hesitated to dwell on it as it's a personal battle she is waging, and I wasn't sure if this was the right venue for a plea for help. Well, it is the right venue and this is the time.
Liz has been diagnosed with a Glioblastoma tumor based in her brain stem and the cerebral lobe of her brain. It is incurable but controllable to a point. Fortunately it is of the type that can be fought with chemo and radiation, so those treatments have begun and will continue in different combinations for the next 6 months. Needless to say this will be a long hard fight, and Liz, her family and Casey will need some help from everyone who can give it. I'm not talking financial help but emotional and spiritual help at this stage. Send those positive thoughts along with visions of healing white light surrounding Liz's head and centering on the base of her skull at the top of her neck. Pray to the God of your choice asking for all the strength that can be mustered to be sent Liz's way. Email Casey short messages of support or facebook him.
There is web site that some friends of Liz have set up where financial donations and purchases of sweatshirts and T-shirts can be directed her way. The website is http://dwbhshirts.com/donate/liz-lord/ This website was started for a cancer victim named Kevin Carlberg, but Liz's bio will come up when you reach the website. You will read that this is a very active and beautiful (both inside and out) lady who can light up a room with her smile.
This is Casey's best friend. They live together and are fighting this battle together and it's tearing my heart out not being there for him. But there isn't a lot Suzi and I could do at this point beside sending out this plea for help. If you are reading this, you have been following Suzi and me as we deal with mechanical problems and other adversities while sailing across oceans. But all the problems we have faced and overcome so far pale in comparison to what Liz is going through. I ask you to give her the same positive words you gave us; they helped us and I know they will help her also.
Thanks for your help..... David & Suzi
Suzi and David are on their way.
