Stop. That is what my heart is telling me to do. Stop. Stop being so negative. Stop trusting what the doctors say to be 110% accurate. Stop moping around, thinking about death and dying, and start living.
That, of course is what I have told myself from day one of my brain cancer diagnosis, and somehow I have gotten away from that mindset.
Because the truth is, Cancer can’t be trusted. I had no symptoms, no warning. It hit out of nowhere and completely blindsided me and my family.
Isn’t that just like life? It hits you without any warning, blindsiding your faith and trust..

It is just like that. Heading to incourage for the rest of the story.
Can I be more like you when I grow up?
BTW, you would probably find The China Study by Colin Campbell a fascinating read. Honest-to-goodness scientific research on cancer that will blow your socks off.
love you girl…that is a word for today….off to read!!
Oh, I understand. DO I understand. Thank you for sharing!
Heather, my entire comment did not post. Please contact me at 641-427-5427 or write me at bjoraker@gmail.com I have done some important research and have some options relating to treatment that could prove benficial to you and others. I am not selling anything btw. I have some clinical research and articles, and ideas that could augment your treatment positively. I am well aware of your dx. and prognosis etc. I am a registered nurse and do research for people. As soon as you give me the go ahead I’ll e-mail the material to you, if desired. this information might prove beneficial to your physicians as well. BTW there ARE other stage three anaplastic astrocytoma survivers. It is my experience that anxiety about a recurrance, etc. can be God’s voice to pay attention, and open up to God’s promise. My response to your concern was to pray and do research. After two days i’ve found some hopefully-helpful material for you.
Hello,
I’ve been reading your posts for awhile. Some things have happened in my life and I feel that God has placed a story on my heart that must be told.
I am writing a book about a woman with cancer, her name is Sage, I can’t give much more details because I don’t want someone out in the internet land to copy from me. I would like your input, if possible. Stop by my place if you would like to help me out.
If you stop by my place be sure to scroll down and read my story of how I donated *normal breast tissue* for research.
I appreciate your help.
Take care,
Amy
You have a wonderful way with words. I wanted to suggest a book, which I know you must get suggestions ALL the time. I read When God Meets Cancer it was incredible but now I’ve been reading Thrive Don’t Simply Survive: Passionately Live the Life You Didn’t Plan by author Karol Ladd who wrote The Power of a Positive Woman, Wife and Mom which are also great reads. This book reminds me of you because its very real not just optimistic.
