Okay ladies and gent's I need your prayers for a co-worker of mine, who is the nicest person you will ever meet. She found out mid December she has breast cancer. During the follow-up exams they found another spot of cancer and thyroid cancer. So now she is dealing with three cancer's at once.

She is having surgery this Monday, January 26th at 2:30 pm (PST) to remove everything. I am asking for you to keep her and her family in your prayer's this weekend and especially on Monday.

Thank you!
 
Laurie,
My heart goes out to your co-worker. I understand how difficult and how life altering cancer can be. My prayers and thoughts are with her. Could you give me her first name. I like to say the first name of each person I pray for.
 
So sad, I'll be praying.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I say to support my co-worker who is battling cancer?

Offering words of encouragement and support can mean a lot. You might say something like, "I'm thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way. If you need anything, I'm here for you." Simple gestures of kindness can also be very comforting.

How can I help my co-worker during their surgery?

Consider offering to help with tasks they may not be able to manage during their recovery, such as covering their shifts, bringing meals, or helping with errands. A thoughtful card or a small care package can also provide emotional support.

What should I avoid saying to someone with cancer?

Avoid making comments that could be perceived as minimizing their experience, such as "At least it's not worse" or "You should try this miracle cure." Instead, focus on listening and validating their feelings without offering unsolicited advice.

How can I create a positive work environment for my co-worker?

Encourage a supportive atmosphere by fostering open communication and understanding. You can organize group activities, like sending a group card or arranging a meal train, to show collective support and care for your co-worker.

What resources are available for employees facing cancer?

Many workplaces offer Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) that provide counseling and support services. Additionally, local cancer support organizations can offer resources, including financial assistance, support groups, and educational materials.
