I wish I could tell you that it’s getting easier. I really want to write those words. But they would be lies. The truth is – cancer is dragging me down, making me feel less than human. It is a constant, formidable enemy that I wake up and battle. And at the end of each day, I decide the winner. Some days I feel like I’m losing.
But on other days, when I consider that I am only one remaining cycle away from completion, I think I might be winning.
My cancer may be unrelenting, but today, so am I.

Dee,
You are powerful! Your words bring so much emotion to me: longing to be close enough to talk in person, anxiety over your cancer- again!?!, confidence in your power to see this through.
Got your back Sweetie,
Denise

You are so Powerful- because you are a child of God who is prayed for everyday. This journey is long but you do have the strength to see it through. One small bite at a time.You are knocking it down one step at a time. Check out the video I send that board is cancer you embody the spirit of that child, not always certain of your power, but you leap anyway, and then you crush it! Crush it. Love and prayers.

Thanks Sharon. I am eager for this part of the journey to wrap-up, although I know it is a process. Most of it is behind me, but I miss the normal stuff of life. Will watch the video and visualize me crushing cancer.

I admire your strength and your willingness to share your journey. Keep your vision in front of you, that is your faith being revealed. It’s is not a coincidence that there are six thousand promises in the scripture. God was saying, “Every promise that you can get a vision for, I will bring it to pass.” You Can Dee and You Will. Be blessed because God loves you and I do too.

Renee’ thank you for that. It is vitally important to remember God’s promises, especially when a huge wall looms large. He is still greater. When we focus on HIM instead of on our problem, the mountain will move. I’m just waiting. Your love is greatly appreciated and I am sending it back to you.

I met you with Juanita Robinson at Kahler Hall. I too was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2013. I had a lot of complications during and after treatment. . I sometimes think I will never have my energy back. I will be praying for you. I know Juanita had tremendous admiration for you and I’m sure she is praying for you in heaven. May God bless you.

Thanks Desiree. I am so sorry to hear about your 2013 diagnosis, but I do know that Juanita would want for both of us to not only survive, but to thrive. I hope that your energy has returned, but I will be praying for you, regardless. Juanita is smiling down on you (and your family) today. Thank you for reaching out. Please let me know how you are doing. It takes a long time to recover from cancer.
