Shenaynay Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:26:48 +0000 http://especiallyheather.com/?p=2863#comment-27394 Yay, Heather! Praise the Lord! Saw your tweet just now! I'm SO relieved for you and yours. I know how scary those checkups can be, believe me. Got one coming right after the holidays, and I'm surprised at how hard I'm having to work at not letting it ruin Christmas for me. We seriously need to "meet" sometime. I've been following your story ever since we were both diagnosed back in 2007, and I think of you often, particularly when I'm struggling with all the head garbage. You know what I mean. But today is a GOOD day!! HAPPYLUJAH! To repeat my cancer mantra for the 7,349th time: "God is good all the time, even when we don't know what He's doing with us." Now go have a magnificent Christmas, Heather! Lynn Yay, Heather! Praise the Lord! Saw your tweet just now! I’m SO relieved for you and yours. I know how scary those checkups can be, believe me.

I understand what you're feeling--I have stage IV metastatic breast cancer and the stats say the median lifespan is 2-3 years from diagnosis of stage IV. I'm coming to the end of that first year now (five years, altogether, since my original stage II diagnosis). But I am NOT a statistic and I am doing much better now than my doctors ever expected, so while I still get nervous before each scan, I have peace that I am not going anywhere until the Lord says it's my time. I don't feel it's my time yet. :) Hold on to that wonderful faith of yours. May the Lord fill you with the peace that passes understanding. Heather, you are in my prayers.

I was given that same statistic . . . 3-5 years. I'm coming up on year 3 now. Yesterday my doctor told me that the swollen lymph node in my neck needed to come out and that it was probably cancerous. I updated our blog and said it like it is - cancer sucks. This morning I woke up and read the comments from people that are holding me up when I can't do it myself. I have a much more peaceful heart today (but cancer does still suck!). A friend of mine left me a message today saying that she has already prayed about my cancer and given it up to God so today she is praying for my mental health. I will be doing the same for you.

But you are 100% right that the Lord will give you the strength to deal with whatever the results are. I am praying for positive results and for total calmness on your end (: Statistics are as you said, an average. I know of several children who have been diagnosed with a form of brain cancer that is heartbreaking with a poor, poor prognosis and yet some of those very children are beating the odds. I wish I had better words to comfort you but just know that I've been praying for you since your diagnosis and I am still here praying. Molly (: Oh Heather,
