		<description>Heather, thank you so very much for posting this on your blog.

Father,

You alone know all things. You control all things and by your word and power all things are. Oh God you are so good even when things are so desperately bad, you are still so good.

Please give Heather peace and wisdom on the things she wrote about. Thank you for letting her find other people who have lived well beyond the time alotted them by the doctors. The doctors can only guess Jesus, yet you never guess. You know when we rise, when we sit, how long we will live for you know all things.

Please help Heather to continually trust in you in this time of need and if it be your will, please heal her. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

When my wife was 18 weeks pregnant with my son Tobias (His name means &quot;God is good&quot;) her water broke and we went to the doctor and they told us there was nothing they could do. They told us to go home and wait for the baby to die. 

I looked the doctor in the eye and said, just because you wear a white coat does not mean that you are God. God will determine when my baby dies; not you! 

The reality was that he only had a 2-1/2% chance of survial and yet he will be turning 5 in May. It has not been an easy road, but he is with us and healthy and we rejoice in the goodness of God for granting us mercy. 

My heart is with you during this difficult season in your life. Is there anything that I can pray for more specifically? 
Please email me at: scott77411@yahoo.com.

		<description>Heather,
I have a prayer request for you. At church today it was announced that a young mom (she is 30 her baby is one year old) was told she has a very aggressive form of breast cancer. At the same time they told her she is pregnant and needs to abort the baby.  PLEASE pray for Monica and the baby. Her parents just flew out today to be with her and her family. I know you know this scene all to well. I will be encouraging her friends to come by here.

Because of Jesus, Bobbie</description>

i think it is wonderful that you share your struggles ... in doing so you are able to help other mom&#039;s out there (with ca) who have the same fears - yet they may not have your faith or hope in God ...

blessings on each of your days - as we all live one day at a time ...

Dear Heather,
do you know that your first name and my last means the same (Ljung= heather in Swedish) We are almost what we in Norway call name-sisters.
You are so warm, bravely fighting and reflected. It makes me blush when I&#039;m complaining over a root canal, hearing what faces and challenges you are up against.
I admire you flat.
My nearest relation to cancer is my brother, who was diagnosed with cancer pancreas four years and three month ago. For him there were no options of radiation or chemo. He had to undertake a Whipple-surgery, remove much of his digestal system, and was given 20% chance to survive.
(Without op. the percentage was down to 2.
We, his family, are also waiting for those five years to go.
My brother will not talk much about it, but of course his life is kind of being put on a hold.
You on the other hand are seizing the days you have, and when the treatment is slapping you down, you&#039;re loosing something so that you can continue to stay alive.
On the other hand I might cross the street tomorrow and get run over by a car.
We don&#039;tt know when and how death comes, but we will fight to stay alive, taking care of our most precious as long as we can.
May the Lord fill you with His hope and strength.
Felisol
