I don't have cancer but my 11 year old daughter does (she was diagnosed at the age of 9 and we are still fighting it). You wrote exactly how I feel as a mother who has a child with cancer. Thank you for sharing your your journey with us and for allowing us into your heart. Praying for you and your family. {{{hugs}}} Oh Heather you captured this cancer thing so perfectly!

I sometimes think of Jesus as a giant teddy bear, a huge hand to hold, with arms as wide as the ocean. I pray that you can nestle in the bosom of Christ and find peace. I am praying.

You are such an amazing person. I love reading what you write. I also get that dose of self check with you. Am I praising Him for all that I can? Do I do enough or can I find a way to do more? Is there someone I can help, that I do not see? You are such a blessing. God Bless you for lifting me up each day. Girl, I come here each day for an inspiration. You are such an amazing person.

I have no words to comfort you...God does though. I find strength in Philippians 4:6-9 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. 9 The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. May you be comforted with the Peace of Christ. He indeed holds you in the palm of His hand. Peace be with you, Annamaria aw,Heather! I have no words to comfort you…God does though.

Just got in from my onco appointment and need another biopsy. Sighs. Its okay...it really is. We are not strong all the time. All our life's are different but I think when cancer comes in to our lives so many feelings are the same. And we cycle through processing what we feel for the time and move on. Sometimes its so hard. Sometimes I don't want to hear about it or talk about. Other days I am strong and can. I agree that God is using us and that He is right there taking on the pain and hardships we feel due to all of it. I just wanted you to know at times even long term survivors feel that way..Your not alone in those feelings. I use to think why do I have to be so overwhelmed with all of this and my family to. Then I finally decided that was my will. Not God's, its taken me a long time to realize in the quiet of cancer . God has made big changes in my life..for the better I just never knew before in my hurried pace how much he was working and how hard. Amazing God of ours!! I am praying Heather. If it helps I do empathize with you..on the feeling. Having been there in lots of ways. Hugs Hope Heather..is been over years since my dx and today is a not so strong day.
