Ok, I’ve been debating whether or not to say anything. I haven’t been on this site for very long. I feel like I’ve gotten to know some of you, though, and consider you my friends. (This is partly a rant and partly to say I won’t be on Mingle2 very often for the next 3-4 months.)

I found out recently that I’m going to be best friends with my oncologist again.
This will be my third date with cancer.
Right now, I’m scared and pissed off. I know what’s coming and I’m NOT looking forward to losing my hair again, puking until I want to scream, being too weak to clean the apt....aaah, the list goes on.
On top of this, I still have 3 portraits I have to finish before I start chemo and I can’t concentrate. I lost both my mom and my grandma to cancer. The rational part of me says, “Ok, you know the drill. You can get through this and beat this again.” The scared part of me wonders if this third time is gonna be the one I can’t beat.
And...I know this isn’t rational or even something I should be worrying about right now (bear with me, my mind’s been going 500 miles an hour in 12 different directions) but another part of me wonders, “Who’s gonna want to date (marry?) someone with that much medical baggage?”

Ok, I think I’m done ranting for the moment, lol. See you all in the threads....if a little less frequently.




I can sooooo relate, been there myself! But hey look....I am still here....and so shall you be! You know the drill you say....you know the ups and downs. Hang tight, keep that steadfastness and your love of life, family and friends and it shall become easier to bear this brunt we both have felt before in our lives. Not a day goes by that I do not think about it in some form or another in my daily life. I will think of you too from now on.

All will be as it should be. flowerforyou

I am a two time cancer survivor both ovarian and breast.....It is so so hard to deal sometimes....But positive thinking and prayer saw me through....I wish you were not leaving so that you can have those rally around. But you need to do what you need to do....This I know. I don't have a clue what your beliefs are, but I just find it so on my heart to pray for you.


Healing That We Need


Why, O Lord, does it always seem
That we often get no reply?
When we are so very desperate
For all the answers why

When we need a special touch
To heal all of our sickness
A miracle that only you can do
Restoring strength to our weakness

We do not know the reasons why
You don't answer straight away
We only need to have faith in you
And be persistent when we pray

You may choose to heal much more
Than our needs of the physical
So much more is the spirit inside
That may be in need of a miracle

For you care so much for us
And want to see us healed
Not only in this body of ours
But in our souls as well

For healing is for every part
Our body, spirit and soul
And God just wants to touch each part
And make us truly whole

We needn’t feel so downcast
As we wait upon the Lord
For the answer will come in His time
Then we shall be restored



God Bless you sweet woman....and I will pray for you....




Lord I anoint you and humbly come before you. I ask Lord that you heal Sweet's body, You know her Lord and I ask in your name that from the top of her head to the tips of her toes heal her Lord God take all the cancer and let it be gone. Let her be a testimony to you Lord of the Mighty healer that you are. Give her strength when it is needed, wisdom Lord when dealing with doctors. And Lord give the doctors who help her also an abundance of wisdom to help Sweet the best they can. I ask this in your mighty Precious Name. AMEN

AND AMEN


When two or more are gathered mighty powerful things happen....

Just finished the 2nd course today. So far, after 2 infusions, I still have my hair! *happy dance* So that's something good to report.
I'm trying to keep positive. Been watching every comedy and stand-up show I can get my hands on. I love Louis C.K. right now. That guy is funny!!!

Thanks for all the kind words! Reading this thread was like getting a big, bear hug. flowers

Pray In The Battle


I know Lord I don’t always try
And sometimes I don’t even care
I often let the worries of this world
Become a heavy burden to bear

I know at times I do not react
The way that I know I should
Instead my feelings rule my tongue
And I’m often misunderstood

I get so sick of constantly repeating
The same failures day after day
I feel so worn down by the constant battle
Maybe I should give up and ‘Pray’

Does this sound at all familiar?
Are life’s hassles wearing you out?
Do you remember to stop and pray?
So faith can replace your doubt

God never said that it would be easy
But He did say He’d always be there
We need to stop battling on our own
And give it over in prayer

Prayer is so needful in our lives
Constantly, throughout the day
When we are faced with spiritual battles
We should never forget to pray

It’s so important to commit each day
Into the care of the Lord
So we can walk more victoriously
Than how we had walked before

The enemy tries to get a foothold
In every little way he can
We must be aware of his evil tactics
And refuse to give in to his plans

For we have Christ Jesus in our lives
And the power to overcome
As we keep praying and standing firm
All our battles shall be won

You will survive this.

When I met my boyfriend 3 months ago, he just wanted someone to talk to about his cancer. (He had just found out it came back for the 3rd time.)

I gladly stood there by his side, "medical baggage" and all, as he went through his 3rd attempt at chemo.

And when it got really hard on him, I was there for him to not let go and keep going.

This was and still is my choice. We know it could come back. (He has only been in remission since February 4th)

But there is someone out there for you. Regardless what kind of baggage it is, we all, as human beings, have it.

And someone will love you for all yours.

Don't give up hope or faith. There is love in this world for everyone. But we can not go looking for it, rather we must let it find us.

I never thought someone like my boyfriend would ever be interested in me, nor would I be good enough for him.

But he found me. I didn't find him.

Keep up the faith. You can do it!

I can not say I know what you are going through, but I did recently lose a father in law to cancer and soon after found my boyfriend and worked with him for his survival.

You can do it.

And if you need help or a strong shoulder to lean on, you got one here.

May G-d keep you safe and show you the wonders of His love. You will get through this. He still has plans for you!
