My mom called today
My favorite aunt who has been a cancer survivor for 11 years and just had a clean scan in June went in with stomach ache and found out she has cancer in multiple places...
My heart is absolutely breaking....
Does anyone ever not have this nasty beast NOT come back? are all survivors like myself and hubby destined to have the other shoe drop sometime...

Cherk - since I am a member of the club I felt that I had permission to comment here. Recently I have felt the fear and the pain of not knowing why I feel sick. The doc says I'm okay. This is the first time I have felt so unsure. I don't trust anything, not even an x-ray. In my craziness I have scheduled another dr. appt. to ease my mind. I can't even post about this on my blog, I am so scared to tell people how I feel. I wonder if my mind is making it up. I feel terribly anxious and I have real physical symptoms. Why do we do this to ourselves? This cancer thing is such a bully, it haunts me.
I feel your pain. I desperately wish to help you put the pieces of your heart back together. I sympathize with you and your family. I have dear friends and family who are very ill right now and I think that is part of my paranoia. I have been praying and will continue to pray. Faith is the only thing that gets me through times like these...May the Lord grant your aunt peace and every person who is being bullied... a cure.
oh Cher, i am so sorry. :( please know i will say prayers for your aunt, in fact,
Dear Lord. We know that your Word says that YOU are the only constant in life, that circumstances - whether good or bad - will always change. We ask you to come into Cher's aunt's heart with a KNOWLEDGE of the rock of salvation, the Truth for her life, and the comfort of knowing she is loved. i ask that you Lord be with her through every step of this journey, increasing her impact on others, and caring for her with tenderness...i ask for healing from the Father. thank you for cher's wonderful, caring heart. please bring her a peace and reassurance that passes understanding.
amen.
Rani-you so have permission, I have always admired how your blog always seems so carefree and you have never mentioned the big "bully" I KNOW exactly the craziness you feel and YES we can make ourselves sick by just thinking about IT.
Bobbi-Thank you for your words and prayer, my family needs so many-so far my mom has lost her mom, dad, and 2 sisters so far and now that she is living far away it is hard for her.
cher i didn't know how to answer last night, i was just at a loss. i'm glad rani had the words--not glad she had the experience, though. i can only imagine what it might be like. and that is hard enough.
i am sorry for all cancer survivors, but especially the ones i love.
Oh, Cher. I can't imagine. I don't know your end of it, but my heart is hurting with you.
Know that you have a lot of people pulling for you and Shane. I am sorry to hear about your Aunt, I will keep her and your family in my prayers.
