Just pink for cousin diagnosed w/brst cancer, Photo at my blog

[Jimmie Lu]

2 years ago my cousin lost a breast to breast cancer now she found out she will loose the other. I want to make her a warm pink gahn for when she starts chemo again she was so cold always the last time. I need 12 inch PINK sq. to make her a gahn. Can anyone help???? Thanks!!

In going thru a cat scan last week the results are in not only breast cancer but also in her stomach region meaning femal organs, stomach or someplace other not yet determanied. I am so very up set we grew up together and are only a few months apart age wise. She goes the beg of Jan to have an extensive test to determine how much and where exactly. I will keep you posted

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

When are you wanting them ? I could make a couple but I can't gaurantee I'd get them to you before January sometime.

[yarnoholic]

i can definitely help out too. is there a certain yarn you plan to use? i could make her a square out of lion brand's wool-ease that would be sure to keep her warm. pm me with your address and i'll whip out a couple squares tonight and mail 'em out tomorrow! :hook

[Jimmie Lu]

I need them by Jan 15th She starts chemo the week after and that is plenty of time for me to sew em together. wool ease is ok but not WOOL I can not sew with it I break out. I was just gonna use Red heart

[Seneca and Scooch]

Bless your heart for doing this for her. :hug I can help out after Christmas.

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

I can send them after Christmas as well maybe before but I couldn't promise that:)

I would love to help! My aunt is a breast cancer survivor, and this is a cause that is very close to my heart. When do you need them and where should I send it?
Your family is in my prayers.

[galalto]

How many more squares do you need? Do you still need them? I am going to do mine tonight.

[minwifeof4boys]

I'm more then happy to send a square... I'll work on it this weekend and get it out to you on Monday...

[Jimmie Lu]

Please mail them by Jan 10th so I can get this finished and taken to her just before Chemo starts. Still no word on the extra cancer they found waiting for test results!!

[Croshay]

(1) Do you still need more squares?

(2) Any pink shade of Red Heart yarn?

(3) Any pattern?

(4) Should the squares each be only one color?

By the way, I just prayed for her and asked for a miracle!

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

I'll be mailing you 2 squares tommorow :)

I decided on what pattern to use...the "Circle of Friends Square" from http://members.aol.com/lffunt/circlefriends.htm and I'll add a few rounds to make it come out to 12". What an appropriate square for your cousin! Now I just hafta dig out some pink yarn...

[yarnlover66]

You are so welcome for the squares Jimmie Lu! I hope that they will work for you! Please post a picture of your afghan once it is completed. I'm still working on mine for my brother. It is taking me forever! But I'm getting closer!

Let me know if you need more squares.

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Hi Jimmie Lu... my square DID NOT make the mail Friday. I re-measured it and it needed another 1/2" and I didn't have a chance to work on it until last night so, it'll be on it's way today!

Hope your cousin in hanging in there... my heart is with you both!

Mare

[galalto]

Thanks for posting, I am glad you got them. I hope they work. I keep praying for you all.

[Jimmie Lu]

We got word my cousin will start treatment fri after she is tested again on Tuesday!!! Tests tests and more tests without any confermations stinks. She is so stressed out and now she got her "monthly" which means bye bye good white cells. So now she has to get another dose of stuff that she says hurts to have done. for to stop her monthly. So she will really need a pick me up by the weekend!!!

[Everyday Crochet]

Jimmi Lu, I didn't see this until now or I would have loved to have contributed a square or two, but I am lifting her up in prayer. :hug

[Everyday Crochet]

Jimmi Lu,

I finished my square... thanks for allowing me to still participate. Please send me your address so that I can mail it.

My grandmother was just diagnosed with breast cancer and the kiddo's and I have been working on printing out scriptures on healing for her to read and post around the apartment... but your pink ghan has got me thinking of making one for her too. She was a very talented crocheter in her time and still would be if she could see well enough to continue. I think an afghan such as you are doing would be a perfect gift to her, especially since all of the sqaures are sewn together in something much stronger than yarn, but with the Word and prayer!

Can't wait to see a picture of the completed afghan.

[sissie44]

Morning jmmi Lu,

I seem to have lost your address. Sorry I have 3 squares ready to mail and if I can get your address again I will get these in the mail today.

sissie

I have it now:) i remembered it was posted back at the begaining of this thread!
I think this is a great thing you have done here and my prayers will be with you and your family :hug

[Jimmie Lu]

yes my addy is on the first page of this post if you cant find it pm me and I will pm it to you!! Thanks!!

[Croshay]

Jimmie, Lu...Well I guess this is what I get for procrastinating....It's pouring down rain and storming here...but this square IS going to the post office in a few minutes! Also I enclosed a few 6" squares for your Amigos project.

[Jimmie Lu]

Hey Thanks I sure could use 6 inch as I have been busy with other things I appreciate it!!!

[Jimmie Lu]

I should have a picture real soon

[Qmare]

Can't wait to see it!

[Everyday Crochet]

[Seneca and Scooch]

Ok yesterday we got the result to my cousins testing. They found a tumor in her remaining breast Thankfully it is small enough to be removed without loosing her breast. The bad news hits hard. She now has bone cancer in her back! She is 35 and her daughter is 6 she has lost so much to cancer already. I am finishing the gahn this week and delivering it sunday I will post pictures next week when we have some with her! Please pray for her. she is strong and a fighter but she needs stregnth to keep fighting!

[Jimmie Lu]

loaded at my blog of my cousin with her gahn. It was very emptional time when she got it. It was hard for her to understand that people she never met cared so much about someone they dont know!!! To say it in her words"I love it love it love it" Thanks so much for your help and prayers. She has started radiation and she is still unsure if she needs chemo. so thanks and here is a :hug from my cousin!

[Qmare]

She will continue to be in my prayers...

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

It's beautiful :)

[Everyday Crochet]

Oh it turned out beautiful! I hope she will just feel all the love and prayers that have gone into it.
