When I got my diagnosis I was devasted. But I never thought 'why me'. Instead I thought "why not me?".<br /><br />You see, in life the cards are dealt. Some we have little or no power over. If I happen to be the one who draws the cancer card, c'est la vie.<br /><br />Cancer sucks. I hate it. But it is part of life, just like death is part of life.<br /><br />When I was young I had little realization of the pain and suffering others had/were going through because I had escaped thus far. Time levels the playing field.<br /><br />All things must end someday. And in between there will be a lot of crap and pain and heartache and suffering. It's a given.<br /><br />Don't even think about it not being fair. It is what it is. And remember, all who read these pages have either had cancer or will likely get it at some point in time. And if they escape cancer, they will likely end up with heart disease. <br /><br />Let your mantra be 'this too shall pass'...because it will...and when you move on to the next hard thing--because there will be more, you can be sure of that--you will be all the wiser and know to not let the hindrance of hardness prevent you from living your best life.<br /><br />You are going to get well. When you are well you will understand all the wonderful things you learned in the valley. And the mountain top will be all the more beautiful because of the difficulty of the climb to the top.Dinahsoarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03877872564454797447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229148293034908096.post-7787945739905690602011-08-03T11:17:18.640-07:002011-08-03T11:17:18.640-07:00Here's some advice about hot flashes.

You have every right to feel "it's not fair" because it isn't. I pray for you to have strength each day to make it through the day, that you experience something beautiful every day, and the you can feel the warmth and love that enfolds you from those who love you-many whom you haven't or may never meet. Just know that there are angels surrounding you and fighting for you.Camperstamperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14543482133890557681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229148293034908096.post-42893716737132762162011-08-01T18:39:20.661-07:002011-08-01T18:39:20.661-07:00Katie, I feel so bad for you.

Why does there have to be cancer in this world. I was told because it was the devils world and he is here to hurt and destroy. Well, fine and dandy if he thinks it is his world. It is NOT. He might try to still and destroy but he will NOT succeed. We have a GOD that is bigger than anything the devil can throw at us. You are strong Katie. I see it everyday by what you are going through. Keep your faith and speak daily that you are healed. Tell the devil to go back to hell where he belongs. I think of you so often and I keep you in my prayers. Stay strong Katie.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16228492675963153076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229148293034908096.post-87746465451873987452011-08-01T16:23:55.726-07:002011-08-01T16:23:55.726-07:00Ditto what Ted said.
