I find myself relating to so many things that you have written in your blog. The questions that you have about your faith. I guess you can say that is something that I also never really thought about. It wasn't until this past September that my 23 year old daughter was killed in a car accident. She was my only child and I had so many questions. I have realized that for me, I do have to believe that there is a higher power up there and that someday I'll see her again. So, with that being said, My thoughts and prayers are certainly with you and your family as you travel this journey.<br /><br />My girlfriend was diagnosed last year with Stage 4 breast cancer. She had a double Mastectomy but she never lost her hair and she has just recently been told that the cancer is gone. I do believe that miracles can happen and pray that it does for you.

As always, I'm sending my prayers, thoughts, and hugs to you and to Kevin. What a wonderful husband you have. You are so fortunate to have him. I'm so proud of him. Remember too, you are not a statistic; you are a wonderful human being. Each person is so different, and it's how they approach their lot in life that determines how they fare. Your oncologist reminds me of the woman in the commercials for the Cancer Centers of America. She says "When I asked the doctor how long I had, he said "Peggy, during all the tests we did on you, at no time did I see an expiration date on the bottom of your foot." So keep that in mind kiddo. Stay strong, keep up the good fight! Hugs to you and your beautiful family.

I'm 38 and fighting Stage 3 Inflammatory Breast Cancer, which has a poor survival rate. I hate being that tiny little statistical number that got it, but that does NOT define us or our fate. I'm enjoying shocking the doctors left and right, and plan to beat this monster head-on. I've got 2 days left of treatment, and was miraculously declared "No Evidence of Disease". The statistics can kiss my you-know-what. So hang in there and FIGHT with everything you've got!!!!!<br />Monique Griffith (Cricut Designer)Monique Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255052573751243644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229148293034908096.post-80196871263940746862011-01-11T09:44:20.912-08:002011-01-11T09:44:20.912-08:00YOur words inspire me to live better.
