Tomorrow will mark the half way point in my radiation treatments! So I am going to throw a party of sorts on my blog. Here is how it works:
Leave me a comment and in it tell me where you are from. (If you haven’t commented before, now is your chance to do so!) I am amazed at the map I have in my sidebar, all of the red dots mean that someone in that spot came to my website (the bigger the dot, the more times you came) since May 21! Yesterday alone I had 10,000 hits! That is just so very amazing to me!
Before I go, I have to tell you a “God Moment” I had this afternoon while at radiation. First, while sitting in the waiting room, I met a woman who has breast cancer. I have seen her before, but today we struck up a conversation. We began talking about treatments and their side effects. She was completely bald, but but had a glow on her face that I cant describe. I looked in her eyes, and saw tears as she said “I would gladly trade the damage done to my nails, the nights sitting on the bathroom floor shaking, and every hair on the top of my head for a fighting chance to beat this thing.” It was all I could do not to break down right there.
Then, after my radiation treatment, I was talking to the radiation tech. She told me that Friday night her husband, her and eight other couples went out, like they often do, and then she said something that amazed me. She said that they prayed for me.
Me. Out of everyone in that treatment facility they could have prayed for, they prayed for me.
After giving her a hug, there was a small bounce in my step as I left 21st Century Oncology this afternoon.
Today I am thankful for my new friend who has breast cancer. Her words really struck a chord with me. I am thankful for my friend and technician who prays for me, and I am thankful that tomorrow marks my halfway point for radiation treatments, and I am thankful for you… You all have been such a source of encouragement to me the last few months. I cant thank you enough.
God is so very good to me.
Dont forget to leave me a comment and tell me where you are from!
We do serve a mighty God, and I am praying for you and everyone connected with your treatment starting today! I “accidently” ran across this blog! You go girl and God Bless you and all of your support.
I am here at your site for the first time. I am crying and smiling as I read your entries. I am in awe at your faithfulness and your ability to fully trust in Jesus. What a blessing and inspiration you are to me. I have added you and your family to my prayer list.
By the way, I am from Texas.
Another beautiful day in paradise, eh? Thanks for the great post (about ) I think that floor hardwood maple in regards to this topic is also important.
All I can say is you’re amazing and God Bless. He does love you and is watching over you. You’re in my prayers.
STUMMBLED ACCROSS YOUR WEBSITE ON A SEARCH ENGINE AND JUST WANTED TO SAY HI AND THAT MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU GOD BLESS!

Hi…Man i just love your blog, keep the cool posts comin..holy Tuesday
Hello,
I am a resident of South Carolina. Reading your story was very touching to me. A close cousin of mine came up with cancer about a year ago. I saw the pain she and her family had during the trouble times. She made it thanks to family and the prayers answered by God. I will keep you in my prayers.
Heather, I just wanted to leave a note of encouragement for you. We have a close family friend who went through all the treatments associated with breast cancer. God is good and she’ll tell you that it was a total miracle. She’s from Mansfield too.
My grandfather came back from esophagus cancer. It was totally the Lord too. God is still in the miracle working business.
Bless you,
Michael

Hi Heather,
It just so happened that I logged onto your site by accident. I live in Mexico, but I’m American. I was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago (I’m 39 now) and I am about to undergo my second surgery. It’s kind of scary because I don’t have family here in Mexico, but I have two wonderful kids and a beautiful grand-daughter, who all make the fight worthwhile. You’re an inspiration to me and I’ll keep you in my prayers as I begin my radiation treatment in December here in Mexico. God Bless You!!!!!
By the way,this comment comes all the way from Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico.
