Especially when so young and so filled with life. The important thing is that a positive outlook must be maintained. YOU CAN NOT GIVE UP. Remember, no living creature lives for ever. We all must go some day, and whether it be at a young or old age. We must remember, it is the small and charitable events of the things we do in our life that matter.

I'm finishing my 3rd round of chemo in my 8th cycle and I'm filled with "what if" cancer whispers. What if the radiation & chemo didn't get it all the merkel cell... What if the new spot in my femur is not new good cell growth... What if last weeks adrenal gland biopsy didn't get a good representative sample and it has spread... What if...what if...what if... But thanks to your post and what you shared...I can and will say to those cancer whispers... You took your best shot and if a cell or two lingers after all the radiation & chemo I got, I will continue to place my faith and trust in God to take care of what the medicine did not! Tom trusting God period!! Heather,

What if the radiation & chemo didn’t get it all the merkel cell…
What if the new spot in my femur is not new good cell growth…
What if last weeks adrenal gland biopsy didn’t get a good representative sample and it has spread…

What if…what if…what if…

But thanks to your post and what you shared…I can and will say to those cancer whispers…

You took your best shot and if a cell or two lingers after all the radiation & chemo I got, I will continue to place my faith and trust in God to take care of what the medicine did not!

I was hospitalized for a week and was on 10 days of whole brain radiation. All I remember about most of it is being in a fog and feeling detached. Then my hair began to fall out in huge handfuls. I was so sad. Others told me too to cut it but I waited. Tonight my husband and I both shaved heads and I felt so much better afterward. This because of you. I searched online and found your post so inspiring, honest, and a lifesaver. God is in control. I believe he led me to your post today. Your story made a world of difference to me and my husband.

I saw a sign recently. It said, "Life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass over. It's about learning to dance in the rain." You inspire me to continue to dance in the rain.

It made me think of you. Maybe it was you? "What Cancer Cannot Do" "Cancer is so limited. It cannot cripple love; it cannot shatter hope; it cannot corrode faith; it cannot destroy peace; it cannot kill friendship; it cannot suppress memories; it cannot silence courage; it cannot invade the soul; it cannot steal eternal life; it cannot conquer the spirit."

“What Cancer Cannot Do”
“Cancer is so limited. It cannot cripple love; it cannot shatter hope; it cannot corrode faith; it cannot destroy peace; it
cannot kill friendship; it cannot suppress memories; it cannot silence courage; it cannot invade the soul; it cannot steal eternal life; it cannot conquer the spirit.”
