Cancer – Choose You
My friend, Tara, posted a link that caused a great passion to rise in me. I am recommending her site, but I believe she has a friend lock in place.
This is my comment to the link she posted:
I did *NOT* have regular mammograms or PAP smears. In fact, my last PAP smear was 18 years ago and I had NEVER had a mammogram in my whole life. I was diagnosed last March with Stage 4 breast cancer that had metastasized to my upper back bones. It was a vicious and fast growing cancer, and, quite possibly, a mammogram 12 months prior to my diagnosis wouldn’t have detected the cancer.
The reason for my telling this story (again!) is to encourage ANYONE diagnosed with cancer to pray. Chemo & radiation therapies are good treatments (tough to endure) but there isn’t one (of my many physicians) person who can say the disappearance of my breast and back cancer (without surgery) was nothing short of a miracle. The power of God is incredible!
Your link is an excellent video of what we can do to live more healthy. I also can recommend books by Reginald Cherry, M.D. He is a Christian who also believes in healthy choices.
Without my trust in God, burying myself in His Word until I was knowledgeable and sure of His Word, and then exercising my own faith I DON’T KNOW THAT I WOULD BE HERE ALMOST A YEAR LATER free of cancer. I’m MORE than “lucky” and it has changed the way I take my health for granted.
I DO make healthy choices, now, and I wholeheartedly support this new cancer awareness program!”
My dear, DEAR friends, please go to this You Tube Link and take it seriously!Be Blessed ~

Great post–I often wonder how people who don’t pray or don’t believe in God get thru things like cancer. I know God walked me thru my battle with breast cancer and still stands beside me !
What a wonderful testimony of the power of God!
great post and testimony
Amen! Thanks for the powerful word.
Some of us prayed with you during your journey! (Those of us who knew you here on xanga and all your friends and family)….anyway….I’m so thankful for the way God has healed you. It’s amazing! Thanks for the post.
I would love to know how you like that book you linked–it sounds very interesting!
Happy Anniversary!
you’ve been such an example to me of believing in the power of prayer!! the one thing that stood out to me most during your sickness was how you never stopped encouraging others – the comments and messages and notes i got from you during that time always so blessed me. knowing the pain you were in, but how you able to look past that to others needs.
i’m so grateful God allowed our xanga paths to cross, friend. my life has been enriched b/cause of you.
love ya.
