ST MARY MAGDALENE PARISH Sunday March 18, 2012

Fourth Sunday of Lent Year B

Gospel John 3:14-21

Jesus said to Nicodemus:

„And just as Moses lifted up the serpent

in the wilderness, so must the Son of

Man be lifted up, 15that whoever

believes in him may have eternal life.

16For God so loved the world that he

gave his only Son, so that everyone who

believes in him may not perish but may

have eternal life. 17Indeed, God did not

send the Son into the world to condemn

the world, but in order that the world

might be saved through him. 18Those

who believe in him are not condemned;

but those who do not believe are

condemned already, because they have

not believed in the name of the only Son

of God. 19And this is the judgment, that

the light has come into the world, and

people loved darkness rather than light

because their deeds were evil. 20For all

who do evil hate the light and do not

come to the light, so that their deeds may

not be exposed. 21But those who do what

is true come to the light, so that it may be

clearly seen that their deeds have been

done in God.‟

Thoughts on the Gospel

„During the first three weeks of Lent we

considered various aspects of our

covenant relationship with God and the

privileges and responsibilities that flow

from it. Today we turn our gaze on God‟s

covenant relationship with us, and we are

astounded at what we perceive. Despite our

infidelity, God remains faithful to us;

despite the steps we take toward our own

destruction, God continues to offer us a

second chance at life. Such is the “depth

and breadth and height” of God‟s love.

„However—and it is a significant

however—God does not force anything

upon us. We are free to choose. We can

accept God‟s loving gestures, or we can

refuse them. We see this in today‟s

readings. Before the Israelites could return

to the land, they had to return to God. In

the Gospel account, Nicodemus was told

that people can choose to believe or not

believe in Christ; they can prefer darkness

to the light. There has always been a

choice. Today the choice is ours to make.

Will we make it?

„Confident of God‟s merciful love, we are

able to repent, return to God and start

anew. Like the people of ancient Israel, we

can indeed rebuild our broken lives and our

disgraced church. We can create a world

based on cooperation rather than

competition, on respect rather than

discrimination. God‟s love has been

offered; the choice is ours.‟

The Woman That Has Most Inspired Me…submitted by Velma J. Roy The woman that has most inspired our

family is our Daughter, Mother, Sister,

Auntie, Kokum, Chapan and Godmother,

Claire Roy

Even though she has been through her own

rough times, she has been the lifeline, the

center and the calming ground in our family.

She‟s always put other‟s feelings before her

own and always found a way to make laughter

out of any situation.

When our dad, George Roy, passed away even

though the pain was great for her, she never

let it get in the way of taking care of her

family. She kept us all together when we felt

like falling apart. We felt her pain like it was

our own when her Daddy, Ralph Laliberte

passed away. We held her while she cried then

as always her inner strength came through and

she once again squared her shoulders and

helped her family adjust to life without our

Mooshum and her Daddy.

Mom helped in many community functions

either by cooking, filleting fish or wherever/

whenever a volunteer was needed. There are

many stories told about hearing mom‟s

laughter ringing through the crowds as she

had a knack for saying the silliest things. She

had many quick comebacks or one-liners that

would bring shocked looks from people and

then outbursts of laughter.

There have been many family functions or

community meals where Mom Claire has been

the cook. She has taught her daughters some

of her cooking secrets but we have yet to get a

recipe… you cannot measure 3 handfuls of

this with a little bit of this and that!

Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer and to

anyone else faced with this news; it would have

brought tears and depression for sure, but not

Claire Roy! She looks at us and says “I don‟t

wanna lose my hair!” Our visits to the

Chemotherapy and Radiation doctors, although

sad, brought more laughter. We listened

intently to the heartbreaking news the doctor

shared with us and then he asked us, “Do you

have any questions?” My mom leans forward

and says, “Do you think we‟ll have any berries

this year?” The shocked look on the doctor‟s

face was priceless but it broke the tension and

mom was once again making sure her family

had something to laugh about.

Mom, as she is called by all our family, is our

inspiration. She gives us the ability to see the

rainbow through the rain, the sun through the

clouds and the strength through the pain. She

has been a friend to everyone and a helping

hand to those who have needed it and I hope

that you feel as blessed as we „do‟ to have her

in our lives.

an even at the Villa on

March 8, 2012 from 6-

9pm. This event was

hosted by Deborah Laliberte, Phyllis Frazer,

and Charmaine Durocher. We had a total of

31 people participate in our event, including

hosts. There was one submission for women

who made an impact in my life which was

read to the group. This story was so touching,

how one person with her positive outlook on

her disease is making the best out of life and

living everyday optimistically. Phyllis also

shared her story about her mother that is an

inspiration to all that were all present at the

event. The night consisted of hand massage/

Colon cancer - Colorectal cancer; Cancer - colon; Rectal cancer; Cancer - rectum; Adenocarcinoma -

colon; Colon - adenocarcinoma - Last reviewed: February 7, 2012.

Colon, or colorectal, cancer is cancer that starts in the

large intestine (colon) or the rectum (end of the

colon).

Other types of cancer can affect the colon, such as

lymphoma, carcinoid tumors, melanoma, and

sarcomas. These are rare. In this article, use of the

term "colon cancer" refers to colon carcinoma only.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal

cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related

deaths in the United States. However, early diagnosis

can often lead to a complete cure.

Almost all colon cancer starts in glands in the lining

of the colon and rectum. When doctors talk about

colorectal cancer, this is usually what they are talking

about.

There is no single cause of colon cancer. Nearly all

colon cancers begin as noncancerous (benign) polyps,

which slowly develop into cancer.

You have a higher risk for colon cancer if you:

Are older than 60

Are African American of eastern European

descent

Eat a diet high in red or processed meats

Have cancer elsewhere in the body

Have colorectal polyps

Have inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's

disease or ulcerative colitis)

Have a family history of colon cancer

Have a personal history of breast cancer

Certain genetic syndromes also increase the risk of

developing colon cancer. Two of the most common

are: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP)

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer

(HNPCC), also known as Lynch syndrome

What you eat may play a role in your risk of colon

cancer. Colon cancer may be associated with a high-

fat, low-fiber diet and red meat. However, some

studies have found that the risk does not drop if you

switch to a high-fiber diet, so this link is not yet clear.

Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol are other risk

factors for colorectal cancer.

Symptoms Many cases of colon cancer have no symptoms. The

following symptoms, however, may indicate colon

cancer:

Abdominal pain and tenderness in the lower

abdomen

Blood in the stool

Diarrhea, constipation, or other change in bowel

habits

Narrow stools

Weight loss with no known reason

Signs and tests With proper screening, colon cancer can be

detected before symptoms develop, when it is most

curable.

Your doctor will perform a physical exam and

press on your belly area. The physical exam rarely

shows any problems, although the doctor may feel

a lump (mass) in the abdomen. A rectal exam may

reveal a mass in patients with rectal cancer, but not

colon cancer.

A fecal occult blood test (FOBT) may detect small

amounts of blood in the stool, which could suggest

colon cancer. However, this test is often negative

in patients with colon cancer. For this reason, a

FOBT must be done along with colonoscopy or

sigmoidoscopy. It is also important to note that a

positive FOBT doesn't necessarily mean you have

cancer.

Imaging tests to screen for and potentially diagnose

colorectal cancer include:

Colonoscopy

Sigmoidoscopy

Note: Only colonoscopy can see the entire colon, and

this is the best screening test for colon cancer.

Blood tests that may be done include:

Complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia

Liver function tests

If your doctor learns that you do have colorectal

CIPI Newsletter – March 16th, 2012

cancer, more tests will be done to see if the cancer has

spread. This is called staging. CT or MRI scans of the

abdomen, pelvic area, chest, or brain may be used to

stage the cancer. Sometimes, PET scans are also used.

Stages of colon cancer are:

Stage 0: Very early cancer on the innermost layer of

the intestine

Stage I: Cancer is in the inner layers of the colon

Stage II: Cancer has spread through the muscle wall

of the colon

Stage III: Cancer has spread to the lymph nodes

Stage IV: Cancer has spread to other organs

Blood tests to detect tumor markers, including

carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA 19-9, may

help your physician follow you during and after

treatment.

Treatment

Treatment depends on many things, including the stage

of the cancer. In general, treatments may include:

Surgery (most often a colectomy) to remove cancer

cells

Chemotherapy to kill cancer cells

Radiation therapy to destroy cancerous tissue

SURGERY Stage 0 colon cancer may be treated by removing the

cancer cells, often during a colonoscopy. For stages I,

II, and III cancer, more extensive surgery is needed to

remove the part of the colon that is cancerous. (See:

Colon resection)

CHEMOTHERAPY Almost all patients with stage III colon cancer should

receive chemotherapy after surgery for approximately 6

- 8 months. This is called adjuvant chemotherapy. The

chemotherapy drug 5-fluorouracil has been shown to

increase the chance of a cure in certain patients.

Chemotherapy is also used to improve symptoms and

prolong survival in patients with stage IV colon cancer.

Irinotecan, oxaliplatin, capecitabine, and 5-fluorouracil

are the three most commonly used drugs.

Monoclonal antibodies, including cetuximab (Erbitux),

panitumumab (Vectibix), bevacizumab (Avastin), and

other drugs have been used alone or in combination

with chemotherapy.

You may receive just one type, or a combination of

these drugs. There is some debate as to whether

patients with stage II colon cancer should receive

chemotherapy after surgery. You should discuss this

with your oncologist.

RADIATION Although radiation therapy is occasionally used in

patients with colon cancer, it is usually used in

combination with chemotherapy for patients with stage

III rectal cancer.

For patients with stage IV disease that has spread to the

liver, various treatments directed specifically at the

liver can be used. This may include:

Burning the cancer (ablation)

Delivering chemotherapy or radiation directly into

the liver

Freezing the cancer (cryotherapy)

Surgery

Support Groups

For additional resources and information, see:

Colon cancer support groups.

Expectations (prognosis)

Colon cancer is, in many cases, a treatable disease if it

is caught early.

How well you do depends on many things, especially

the stage of the cancer. In general, when treated at an

early stage, many patients survive at least 5 years after

their diagnosis. (This is called the 5-year survival rate.)

If the colon cancer does not come back (recur) within 5

years, it is considered cured. Stage I, II, and III cancers

are considered potentially curable. In most cases, stage

IV cancer is not considered curable, although there are

exceptions.

Complications Blockage of the colon

Cancer returning in the colon

Cancer spreading to other organs or tissues

(metastasis)

Development of a second primary colorectal cancer

Calling your health care provider

Call your health care provider if you have:

Black, tar-like stools

Blood during a bowel movement

Change in bowel habits

Unexplained weight loss

Have inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's

disease or ulcerative colitis)

Have a family history of colon cancer

Have a personal history of breast cancer

Certain genetic syndromes also increase the risk of

developing colon cancer. Two of the most common

are: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP)

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer

(HNPCC), also known as Lynch syndrome

What you eat may play a role in your risk of colon

cancer. Colon cancer may be associated with a high-

fat, low-fiber diet and red meat. However, some

studies have found that the risk does not drop if you

switch to a high-fiber diet, so this link is not yet clear.

Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol are other risk

factors for colorectal cancer.

Symptoms Many cases of colon cancer have no symptoms. The

following symptoms, however, may indicate colon

cancer:

Abdominal pain and tenderness in the lower

abdomen

Blood in the stool

Diarrhea, constipation, or other change in bowel

habits

Narrow stools

Weight loss with no known reason

Signs and tests With proper screening, colon cancer can be

detected before symptoms develop, when it is most

curable.

Your doctor will perform a physical exam and

press on your belly area. The physical exam rarely

shows any problems, although the doctor may feel

a lump (mass) in the abdomen. A rectal exam may

reveal a mass in patients with rectal cancer, but not

colon cancer.

A fecal occult blood test (FOBT) may detect small

amounts of blood in the stool, which could suggest

colon cancer. However, this test is often negative

in patients with colon cancer. For this reason, a

FOBT must be done along with colonoscopy or

sigmoidoscopy. It is also important to note that a

positive FOBT doesn't necessarily mean you have

cancer.

Imaging tests to screen for and potentially diagnose

colorectal cancer include:

Colonoscopy

Sigmoidoscopy

Note: Only colonoscopy can see the entire colon, and

this is the best screening test for colon cancer.

Blood tests that may be done include:

Complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia

Liver function tests

If your doctor learns that you do have colorectal

CIPI Newsletter – March 16th, 2012

cancer, more tests will be done to see if the cancer has

spread. This is called staging. CT or MRI scans of the

abdomen, pelvic area, chest, or brain may be used to

stage the cancer. Sometimes, PET scans are also used.

Stages of colon cancer are:

Stage 0: Very early cancer on the innermost layer of

the intestine

Stage I: Cancer is in the inner layers of the colon

Stage II: Cancer has spread through the muscle wall

of the colon

Stage III: Cancer has spread to the lymph nodes

Stage IV: Cancer has spread to other organs

Blood tests to detect tumor markers, including

carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA 19-9, may

help your physician follow you during and after

treatment.

Treatment

Treatment depends on many things, including the stage

of the cancer. In general, treatments may include:

Surgery (most often a colectomy) to remove cancer

cells

Chemotherapy to kill cancer cells

Radiation therapy to destroy cancerous tissue

SURGERY Stage 0 colon cancer may be treated by removing the

cancer cells, often during a colonoscopy. For stages I,

II, and III cancer, more extensive surgery is needed to

remove the part of the colon that is cancerous. (See:

Colon resection)

CHEMOTHERAPY Almost all patients with stage III colon cancer should

receive chemotherapy after surgery for approximately 6

- 8 months. This is called adjuvant chemotherapy. The

chemotherapy drug 5-fluorouracil has been shown to

increase the chance of a cure in certain patients.

Chemotherapy is also used to improve symptoms and

prolong survival in patients with stage IV colon cancer.

Irinotecan, oxaliplatin, capecitabine, and 5-fluorouracil

are the three most commonly used drugs.

Monoclonal antibodies, including cetuximab (Erbitux),

panitumumab (Vectibix), bevacizumab (Avastin), and

other drugs have been used alone or in combination

with chemotherapy.

You may receive just one type, or a combination of

these drugs. There is some debate as to whether

patients with stage II colon cancer should receive

chemotherapy after surgery. You should discuss this

with your oncologist.

RADIATION Although radiation therapy is occasionally used in

patients with colon cancer, it is usually used in

combination with chemotherapy for patients with stage

III rectal cancer.

For patients with stage IV disease that has spread to the

liver, various treatments directed specifically at the

liver can be used. This may include:

Burning the cancer (ablation)

Delivering chemotherapy or radiation directly into

the liver

Freezing the cancer (cryotherapy)

Surgery

Support Groups

For additional resources and information, see:

Colon cancer support groups.

Expectations (prognosis)

Colon cancer is, in many cases, a treatable disease if it

is caught early.

How well you do depends on many things, especially

the stage of the cancer. In general, when treated at an

early stage, many patients survive at least 5 years after

their diagnosis. (This is called the 5-year survival rate.)

If the colon cancer does not come back (recur) within 5

years, it is considered cured. Stage I, II, and III cancers

are considered potentially curable. In most cases, stage

IV cancer is not considered curable, although there are

exceptions.

Complications Blockage of the colon

Cancer returning in the colon

Cancer spreading to other organs or tissues

(metastasis)

Development of a second primary colorectal cancer

The Woman That Has Most Inspired Me…submitted by Velma J. Roy The woman that has most inspired our

family is our Daughter, Mother, Sister,

Auntie, Kokum, Chapan and Godmother,

Claire Roy

Even though she has been through her own

rough times, she has been the lifeline, the

center and the calming ground in our family.

She‟s always put other‟s feelings before her

own and always found a way to make laughter

out of any situation.

When our dad, George Roy, passed away even

though the pain was great for her, she never

let it get in the way of taking care of her

family. She kept us all together when we felt

like falling apart. We felt her pain like it was

our own when her Daddy, Ralph Laliberte

passed away. We held her while she cried then

as always her inner strength came through and

she once again squared her shoulders and

helped her family adjust to life without our

Mooshum and her Daddy.

Mom helped in many community functions

either by cooking, filleting fish or wherever/

whenever a volunteer was needed. There are

many stories told about hearing mom‟s

laughter ringing through the crowds as she

had a knack for saying the silliest things. She

had many quick comebacks or one-liners that

would bring shocked looks from people and

then outbursts of laughter.

There have been many family functions or

community meals where Mom Claire has been

the cook. She has taught her daughters some

of her cooking secrets but we have yet to get a

recipe… you cannot measure 3 handfuls of

this with a little bit of this and that!

Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer and to

anyone else faced with this news; it would have

brought tears and depression for sure, but not

Claire Roy! She looks at us and says “I don‟t

wanna lose my hair!” Our visits to the

Chemotherapy and Radiation doctors, although

sad, brought more laughter. We listened

intently to the heartbreaking news the doctor

shared with us and then he asked us, “Do you

have any questions?” My mom leans forward

and says, “Do you think we‟ll have any berries

this year?” The shocked look on the doctor‟s

face was priceless but it broke the tension and

mom was once again making sure her family

had something to laugh about.

Mom, as she is called by all our family, is our

inspiration. She gives us the ability to see the

rainbow through the rain, the sun through the

clouds and the strength through the pain. She

has been a friend to everyone and a helping

hand to those who have needed it and I hope

that you feel as blessed as we „do‟ to have her

in our lives.

International Women’s Day

In Celebration of women

in our community we had

an even at the Villa on

March 8, 2012 from 6-

9pm. This event was

hosted by Deborah Laliberte, Phyllis Frazer,

Yvonne Roy, Angie Mihalicz, Sandra Pelletier

and Charmaine Durocher. We had a total of

31 people participate in our event, including

hosts. There was one submission for women

who made an impact in my life which was

read to the group. This story was so touching,

how one person with her positive outlook on

her disease is making the best out of life and

living everyday optimistically. Phyllis also

shared her story about her mother that is an

inspiration to all that were all present at the

event. The night consisted of hand massage/

positive affirmations hosted by Phyllis Frazer,

relaxation techniques - Deborah Laliberte,

Facial and Hand (Mary Kay) -Sandra

Pelletier, Reiki - Yvonne Roy, Angie

Mihalicz, and assistance Linda Campbell and

make-over's - Charmaine Durocher and the

Valley View School handed out dry meat

presented by Arlene Hansen. The evening was

a night of fun and socializing. We are looking

at hosting Women‟s Wellness once a month or

every second month, so if there is anything

you would like to see, feel free to give myself

a call at 288-4807 or Yvonne Roy at 288-

ST MARY MAGDALENE PARISH Sunday March 18, 2012

Fourth Sunday of Lent Year B

Gospel John 3:14-21

Jesus said to Nicodemus:

„And just as Moses lifted up the serpent

in the wilderness, so must the Son of

Man be lifted up, 15that whoever

believes in him may have eternal life.

16For God so loved the world that he

gave his only Son, so that everyone who

believes in him may not perish but may

have eternal life. 17Indeed, God did not

send the Son into the world to condemn

the world, but in order that the world

might be saved through him. 18Those

who believe in him are not condemned;

but those who do not believe are

condemned already, because they have

not believed in the name of the only Son

of God. 19And this is the judgment, that

the light has come into the world, and

people loved darkness rather than light

because their deeds were evil. 20For all

who do evil hate the light and do not

come to the light, so that their deeds may

not be exposed. 21But those who do what

is true come to the light, so that it may be

clearly seen that their deeds have been

done in God.‟

Thoughts on the Gospel

„During the first three weeks of Lent we

considered various aspects of our

covenant relationship with God and the

privileges and responsibilities that flow

from it. Today we turn our gaze on God‟s

covenant relationship with us, and we are

astounded at what we perceive. Despite our

infidelity, God remains faithful to us;

despite the steps we take toward our own

destruction, God continues to offer us a

second chance at life. Such is the “depth

and breadth and height” of God‟s love.

„However—and it is a significant

however—God does not force anything

upon us. We are free to choose. We can

accept God‟s loving gestures, or we can

refuse them. We see this in today‟s

readings. Before the Israelites could return

to the land, they had to return to God. In

the Gospel account, Nicodemus was told

that people can choose to believe or not

believe in Christ; they can prefer darkness

to the light. There has always been a

choice. Today the choice is ours to make.

Will we make it?

„Confident of God‟s merciful love, we are

able to repent, return to God and start

anew. Like the people of ancient Israel, we

can indeed rebuild our broken lives and our

disgraced church. We can create a world

based on cooperation rather than

competition, on respect rather than

discrimination. God‟s love has been

offered; the choice is ours.‟
