Last night was ‘one of those nights’. I tossed and turned, felt sad, felt lost, felt out of control. Having and dealing with cancer is so hard. You do not know what’s happening inside you on treatments, you have no clue if it is working, and you wait every 3 months to have scans to see what indeed has occurred. Cancer is so unpredictable. I am not a patient person, but I am learning to be. We all know what it is like to wait for results…you need patience. It is hard yes to shut off the brain with negative thoughts, and replacing them with positive ones. Most of the time I do have good days and work hard at keeping myself positive, but some days it all catches up and I sit and really wonder what is going to happen. We all do…’tell me your story…tell me how you get through your days….tell me here…post your story. It may really help someone get through their day a bit easier’. And, it could show others that we do indeed have the same thoughts….let’s help each other here..

Thanks for your support -
Sue – so well put. I found that to be the hardest part about dealing with cancer, trying to get through those crappy sad days where you feel so lost.
Sue,
While I was in high school, 1967, my mother was diagnosed with advanced cancer of the uterus, and she was told she had six months to a year to live. We were devastated, as you can imagine. We asked God many questions, but somehow mother bouyed our confidences and kept a good attitude.
Mom lived many, many years past the six months she was given, and finally succumbed to her seventh heart attack, not the cancers, on May 18, 1989. It was then that we discovered the healing power of positive attitudes in our lives. You have that attitude, Sue, and you always seem to manage a smile in light of all your pain and suffering.
You also have a deep and abiding faith, which can be a source of help in troubling times. When coupled to the family that so loves you, and the prayers that come your way from so many sources, there is great hope for you.
May God continue to bless you and keep you in His arms and take this dreadful and scary disease away forever. Greg
His Healing Light to you, {{{Sue}}}~
Picture yourself healed by Him, the Almighty and then claim for yourself in His name.
Jesus…
You are my haven, You are my peace,
You are my salvation, You are my serenity
in moments of struggle and amidst an ocean of doubts. You are the bright ray that lights up the path of my life…
You know our weaknesses, and like a good physician, You comfort and heal.
O Divine Physican and Healer, we turn to You in this time of illness. Dearest comforter of the troubled, alleviate our worry and sorrow with Your gentle love, and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden.
O God Our Heavenly Father, we place our concerns in Your hands. Hear the prayers we offer for our sister Sue, and grant her the gift of healing. Grant us all the grace to acknowledge Your holy Will and know that whatsoever You do, You do for the love of us. We ask this in the name of Jeasus the Lord, Amen.
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up the light of His countenance upon you and give you peace.
IN THE WAIT WITH PATIENCEIf your ship has run amuck
Or sunk to ocean’s floor;
If your heart has given up
And you can take no more;
Carry all your woes to Him.
Place them in His care.
Know that He will help you through
Your days of dark despair,
Throughout all times and seasons,
Ride with them, you must.
Take your problems to the Lord.
In Him put all your trust.
It may take hours, days or weeks,
Or maybe even more;
But if you have deep faith in Him,
He’ll ring your ship to shore.

Love you, {{{{{Sue}}}}}
Thanks I need that.

GOD knows you are entitled to have a bad day ONCE in a while! You’re so strong & so inspiring…but you’re human…so have that pity party and then pull yourself together & focus on all the positive things in your life. I’m not dealing with cancer, but as you know—lupus, fibromyalgia, avascular necrosis, lupus nephritis, gout… NOW, diverticulitis AND a broken foot two weeks away from my step-daughter’s wedding! I’ve been having a huge pity-party lately, but I force myself (MOST days) to get showered, get dressed, put on make-up and try to “focus on the positives”. I think of you SO often and know what kind of fighter you are. Please don’t give into negative thoughts. Do what you’ve been doing & remember the love which surrounds you each & every day! You are SOOOOOO loved! XOXO,J.
Sue,
I can’t begin to know what you are feeling and going through, but no matter what, I am here for you…....Love, Eileen
Dearest Sweetest Sue.. Bless your heart..I so feel for you sweetheart, Sending all my Love lots of prayers and positive thoughts to you along with basketfuls of hugs..There isn’t a day goes by that I dont think of you and remember all the help love and laughs you have given to so many of us lucky people that are blessed to be your friend.
Love Always & Forever Tina x x
