I wanted every one to know that you can still become a member of my tribe, even if you don't want to buy the tags or donate funds.

Yes that would be a blessing and I'm not going to lie - I need help financially. But I would love to just hear from you and catch up and if you don't know me, I'd love to "meet" you.

Also, if you are comfortable with forwarding the original invitation to your contact list, I would greatly appreciate it. I'd like to see it move forward around the world.

God bless you all.

My Human Tribe Project to raise money

Dear friend,

I'd like to introduce you to Human Tribe Project and invite you to join our Tribe supporting Noëlle Monteith.
The following is Noëlle Monteith's story:
I was diagnosed with stage 3/grade3, Her2+ breast cancer March, 2008. Since my diagnoses, my cancer has spread to my lungs, chest, lymph nodes, brain, and brain stem.
It has been an incredible journey. I have gone through 6 boughts of chemo and 3 different radiation treatments. Now I am considered stage 4 and according to the doctor's, I only have about 6 to 9 months left.
Well, a miracle happened and it has convinced me that I'm going to keep on living until God says otherwise. I'm not listening to the doctors' numbers because, I have proof that the two tumors in the brain have disappeared. They are completely gone! They left some brain and nerve damage behind, but the tumors themselves are NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. Praise God!

I have been in treatment for 2 and a half years straight now without a break. And I need your help desperately. I am still on disability and my doctor's are telling me I cannot work at this time. I have exhausted my savings and my family is having difficulty raising money as well for my sake. This is why I'm creating this tribe. To keep you update and to see if you would be willing to help me by buying a Tribe Tag.
I believe this will be an exciting way to raise funds to continue my treatment and to help with my everyday bills and prescriptions.
Thank you and God Bless each one of you and your families. Noëlle

MIRACLES DO HAPPEN

Tell everyone about God’s power. His majesty shines down on Israel; his strength is mighty in the heavens. God is awesome in his sanctuary. The God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!
Psalm 68:34-35, NLT

Some of you know that I went in for an MRI of the brain and a CAT Scan of the chest/abdomen/pelvis regions this past week. Well, I have good news everybody. Your prayers are working!!!!!!! Like we even doubted . The CAT Scan showed that the chemo I’m currently on (Gemzar) and the Herceptin have CONSIDERABLY reduced in size. AND there are no new tumors. YEAH!!!!! So we are going to continue with the chemo/Herceptin treatment until God tells to stop.

Now, with the MRI of the brain, they did see some brain and nerve damage which is caused by the necrosis (tissue death) we talked about during the second radiation to the brain stem. But, I felt the risks of side effects far outweighed not choosing to have the radiation on the brain stem. They did say necrosis would start to show up 6 months to a year after my last radiation treatment and it’s that time. They are weaning my off the steroids, so they can accurately see what is necrosis and what is not. Now……..are you ready for the Miracle part of this…….are you sitting down? Here goes………………………

The two tumors, including that big on in the brain stem are COMPLETELY GONE!!!!! There is absolutely no sign of them anywhere. They even did the scan on the same machine and compared it to the last one I had in December. December…..Tumors. February……..NO Tumors!

I AM COMPLETELY CANCER FREE OF THE BRAIN

PRAISE GOD! I’M NOT IN REMISSION…..I AM CANCER FREE!

There are no signs of any tumors or cancer in my brain. Please worship and praise the Lord with me and please continue to pray for the cancer in my chest/lungs/neck/armpit/lymph nodes. God is so good and I so hope you get to know Him (if you don’t already) like I do because He is awesome, loving, freeing, gracious, merciful, awe inspiring, my king, my savior, my husband, my everything. I love Him.

Long time, but I haven't forgot.....

I'm truly sorry for that fact that I haven't posted anything since September. A lot went on throughout that time.

October was all about severe bone and joint pain, The Dr.'s put me on a pain regimen
The Dr.'s put me on a pain regimen that kept the pain tolerable. Unfortunately it wasn't up to par.

In November the pain ensued, but I was determined to push through it. I was have Thanksgiving for 13 people and it was aweomse. However, trying to get my house back on Friday was hard for me to do. I slept mostly all day Saturday, seriously! I was still taking my pain regimen, but I wasn't drinking enough water because I felt sleep was far better for me.

In the end, I suffered from dehydration which inturn cause renal failure. I was in the Hospital for 2 and a 1/2 weeks while they treated me for "medibolic encephlopathy".

While in thehospital, my medical oncologist saw me every day to check up on me. That is the time when I actually asked him how long did he think I had. At that time 6-9 months. And just the other day he told 6-7 months. I tried to not let it sink into my conscience, it did. But God is ever faithful for he gave me scriptures to fight that feeling of fear.

According to the Bible, my days are numbered as are everyone else’s, with only GOD knowing the actual time and place. That is why I encourage people to live each day as if it were your last as I try to do.
This mentality has reshaped my outlook during this endeavor. The Dr.’s are 6-7 months left, and God is promising something else. To reconcile these two battling ideas, God gave me these scriptures to help my fear. It’s a wonderful feeling now that I know what it is to have our days numbered. And the fear is fading away.

II Kings 20:5
Thus sayeth the Lord, “I have heard your prayer, [and] I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you”

On a different matter, I need some serious praying please!!!!! While I was in the hospital in late November, early December I was in ICU beause not only for the renal failure, but my blood pressure was dongerously low (76/43) and they kept trying all the different heart medicines to bring it up, but after three day of in and out of conscienceness and hallucination as well I was done. But I was determined to be discharge.

When I returned home I realized I missed my Cobra payment because I was tied with other things when it was due. So, as of November, December, & January I have't been able to take my Herceptin drug or my chemo because I don't currently have insurance.

We are in the appeals process, because you can get the denial overturned for extremely exestential circumstances. We should know by tomorrow (Friday) or early next week. Out contact person at the insurance company seems very encouraged by how thngs are looking on his side.

So I am aksing for favor and success on getting back on COBRA and restarting chemo!

Thank you so very mu for all your encouragement, prayers, and support. God Bless you!
