Re: National Cancer Survivors Day June 7
Thanks Barb! I am sure she will appreciate any and all prayers, even those she will likely not know about, including mine!

That's how I am about National Cancer Survivors Day. This hits close to home for me because I am a survivor.
I didn't come here before now to post this because I didn't want to make it a plea for little ole me...hey, I'm a poet! A poster here and I are members of the same church and knew about this, and if she shared it with any of you, that is fine...the more prayers the better. But I just didn't share it here, and I apologize for not being up front with you...though we wouldn't know each other if we passed on the street, many of us have walked together since the Bro. Yohe days.
So here's the deal... I was diagnosed two years ago with Stage 3 ovarian and uterine cancer. Had the surgery and the chemo...lost all my hair, and they almost lost me...spent 21 days in the hospital with pneumonia last summer...and most importantly, had mountains of prayers and support.
Today...well my hair is growing back, my strength is still a day to day thing, but I can care for myself most days, albeit slow. I walk with a cane due to falling from neuropathy in my feet (due to the chemo I am told), but I am up and functioning.
My blood work keeps coming back good, and my three month checkups have all been good.
To God be the glory!
Why others I know have not survived, I wish I knew. They had faith and treatment. They had a support system. God loved them just as He loves me. I can't figure it out, but I am grateful for today.
And so, June 7th this year holds great significance for me. I am a survivor! Though I don't know what tomorrow may bring, for today I am a survivor and I give God the glory!  |
Thank you, Jesus!

I'll whisper a prayer for your co-worker's family...

Great news! I was just informed that she does not have breast cancer. The lady thought she was going to die, but when they examined her lumps closer they were all benign.
Honestly, when I shared that she had breast cancer, I thought they had already done this part. Apparently, she freaked out when they found lumps.
Still and all, thanks for praying. For all I know they may have been cancerous before we prayed!

Re: National Cancer Survivors Day June 7
Speaking of cancer, just yesterday I got news that my great-uncle (my grandpa's brother) is going on on the 26th for cancer on his face. Keep him in your prayers, please.

Barb, I can relate with your experience though my suffering was surely less than yours.
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I told no one except immediate family, though I did get anointed with oil & prayed for by the elders of the church. I took a week of vacation for my surgery and went for radiation treatments after work for 6 weeks. I mostly cried to the Lord and slept the rest of the time. I don't recommend this kind of action for anyone!
The outcome is good because I, too, am a survivor and am celebrating 10 years cancer free. To God be the glory!
