Anonymous Coward User ID: 68370886 United States 05/08/2015 05:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Keep the faith and don't give in. There is a lot of power in prayer and support. I spent the week before Christmas in the hospital. HGB was down to 3, bone marrow 98% compacted with cancer. Doc said 3 to 6 months tops. I had been trying to go the natural route but funds just weren't there for it. After the bone marrow biopsy confirmed no new blood being made, my only choice was chemo. I have 2 more rounds of it to go and everything is going well. I know there is a lot out there negative about chemo and I would have skipped it if I could. Now, I am glad I did it and have a life to look forward to. The most important thing is all in your head. Don't give up the fight and surround yourself with as many positive people as you can. Even if it is just friends on the computer. |

It's ok to vent when ever you need to, we are here for you. Quoting: daughteroftheking If you don't mind me asking, what kind of cancer is it? Some sort of oral cancer? That might help some of us research alternative treatments for you to think about if you're interested in that sort of thing. I have a friend that was recently diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer that had spread to other organs, She had surgery and is going thru chemo now and doing pretty good and feeling positive and living her life. My father had lymphoma 30 years ago, and he had surgery, radiation and also followed a strict macrobiotic diet and he's in his 80's now. Cancer isn't a death sentence anymore, stay positive. I actually have a breast thing AND ORAL THIng So of course, I'm afraid it mets. I am the most positive person right now. The only time I cried is,when I had to get "my affairs" in order.. I don't cry very easy and when I do, it is usually a person that brings it out in me. Hope you're ok Ohio Chic and that treatment is not too horrendous. Thinking off you and wishing you all the best.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 69168979 South Africa 05/08/2015 08:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Update 5/7/15: Quoting: Ohio chic I'm getting chemo and radiation. I'm pretty sick and weak. I am also going through a divorce, as it seems so life is kicking my butt right now, but I am strong and I have the enegy of light and life in my life so I am not afraid of what lies ahead for me. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers and sorry I haven't been on but I have been pretty withdrawn from things but I wanted to stop by and give you the update. My mom and dad are by my side every step of this journey so I'm not alone. Just keep the prayers coming and I love you all. Update 4/12: I had surgery on Fri. I'm actually still in the hospital. We are seeing if it has gotten into my lymphnode and going to proceed from there. Thanks for all the positive energy and the love. It really really has made a difference in my life! Update: I will be going to the James cancer Center and listen to their advice. But I am going to do what I feel is best for me. I have gotten some great advice on this thread and I am so glad I started it. I am not too hip on using the modern medicine they have today so I know my therapy will be the alternative type of medicine. I will keep all you involved to the steps I take. Thanks and much love for the love given to me! I had a test done at it came back not so well, and of course, it is warranting further testing, which I am going to get done today. Wasn't worried, because I have christ In my corner, BUT... I went to the dentist, yesterday and something showed up there that might confirm what is going on in my body. I am a nurse btw, so I know signs and symptoms and now I am concerned. Sorry for the vagueness of my condition, but I don't want to get into detail, as no one really cares to read about my woes. But I am dealing with that nasty, ugly word CANCER! I am just asking for prayers, because strength in numbers works. I have witnessed this and experienced it before in other aspects of my beautiful life. So just please send prayers my way. Thank you and God bless you. Wow..this got pinned. I am not an emotional person, but this has me crying. Thank you all for the kind words and blessings,,they are real helping me. Ok here's the update I promised. It looks like I will be heading to the James cancer center. I have ex coworkers that work there and they are the best treatment facility I know. Thanks for all the support my GLP FAMILY. Kefir yogurt. Go get some and try it. Plenty of testimonials on the web. I bought mine from a man who had cancer. Also, is sit down with your feelings. Feel those feelings. Release them. Emotional blockage from trauma, repressed emotions and untrue beliefs(i.e. I am not good enough, I should be like this or that) can hurt us physically. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 19181955 United States 05/08/2015 08:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just wanted to share something with you that really helped me a few years ago - there is a book by Louise Hay, called Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life. It gave me A LOT of comfort during a dark time in my life, and it brought me some means of controlling about the only thing I had control over: my thoughts. Hey, we all have to start somewhere, right? When I combine what I learned from that book, with prayer and a relationship with God, it is hard to even fathom the turn-around my life has made in 8 years. (Ok so I looked at Amazon and I can't find the exact book I mentioned above but here's another one by Louise Hay that I really liked - you can't go wrong combining the power of healing positive thoughts with prayer!) [link to www.amazon.com] I'll share something else with you about asking for help. ASK and do not be shy about it! The Lord did not create us to go this road of life alone. Obviously with chemo, etc you're not feeling well, you're going to need some help on the ground besides just prayers, and don't be shy about it - you'll be surprised who will come into your life and you'll be glad they did. It might be that the the people currently in your life besides your mom and dad could be frightened by what you're going through and not as available to help you, and if that's so, that's ok. This happened to me recently with a health issue and I felt totally abandoned and lost - oh how I cried out to the Lord. Guess what? The Lord gave me back something better than what I was asking for - I would have settled for any help I could get. Instead, He provided me with some new friends, closer friends made out of people who had just been acquantainces,(sp?) and thru those people - more opportunities to change my thoughts, my life, and my future. My final thought, don't settle for any pronouncements that others might make upon your life. Some see cancer or divorce as "that's it, you'll never have a good life now." I call total BS on that. God may have allowed this to happen in your life because it's the perfect tool to clear away what doesn't belong in your life (ie, the divorce), and times of sickness and weakness are often times He wants us to use to draw closer to him. Have you ever taken to reading the Bible for yourself? For me that opened up amazing new doors to connect with the Lord in a way I just wasn't getting out of group Bible studies, etc. I like the Dr. Charles Stanley Life Principles Bible. [link to www.amazon.com] You can do this, you're going to do this, and you're going to make an impact on other people when they see who God had made you to be. With much love back to you! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 19973725 United States 05/08/2015 08:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This Spiritual Warfare bible sits in my desk drawer ready for use whenever needed for whoever needed - there's prayer, and then there's prayer that just says: Enough is enough, this battle is being won by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, enough said, game over, in the name of Jesus Christ. You walk out of your prison of divorce, cancer and everything associated with it a freed person :-), in the name of Jesus Christ! [link to www.amazon.com] A more economical starting point for you if money is an issue might be one of Dr. Olukoya's books on health and healing - cruise thru Amazon and you'll know what you need. My experience? I spent the money on a book in faith, my whole life healed, and I earned the money back faster than a blink of the eye because the Lord provides for us that way: [link to www.amazon.com] [link to www.amazon.com] What I have found to be the best combination is a strong prayer base like what you have surrounded yourself with by this post - group prayer will rock Heaven open for you. Then you and whoever you're closest to, target your issues with spiritual warfare. Night and day, pray for guidance and you will come to know the best times to say prayers and repeat them loud and clear - God hears us no matter what, but there is something about standing up and claiming your authority in Jesus Christ and stating your kick-butt prayers with confidence loud and clear that helps YOU see the power of your prayers. It helps you mentally and spiritually get back on your feet, stay there, and get right back up if you've been knocked down. Understand also, if you have to take a time out to cry, be sad, etc. give space to your emotions, give full vent to them, AND THEN calmly, clearly, get back on your feet and state your prayers with confidence in YOUR authority as a believer saved by Christ. There is no evil entity that can resist the repeated and persistent spiritual warfare prayers of a believer, NONE, in the name of Jesus Christ :-) You will annihilate your problems and go on to live a fruitful live, in the name of Jesus Christ! Now while the rest of GLP rocks heaven open for you (come on GLPers, we need the GLP effect here!), get whatever is kicking your butt emotionally out of your system, then you and your Mom and Dad STAND UP and pray without ceasing in strength and confidence and the AUTHORITY of believers saved in Christ and you will see a miracle, we just don't know how, or when, or what form it will take. Life's challenges are just God's way of carving out space in our lives for the real miracles and our real life purpose. Now you go for it and God speed and bless you! With even more love than my prior post!! |
Bigteeth User ID: 50486882 United States 05/08/2015 09:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nothing can replace mom and dad by your side for sure but look at the love and support you have here at GLP. Thank you for updating your post because we are interested in your well being and are here if you need to vent or share. A beautiful spirit as you are has many people praying and offering support. I'm a 10 year BC survivor. It is hard but cancer is no longer always a death sentence. One of my best girl friends has been living with BC for 8 years. It was inoperable and the cancer had spread 7 years ago to her brain and spine but she get around laughs and cares for her 15 year old teen daughter she adopted from China. It can be a scary place to be but you'll get tons of support through treatment and beyond. What is more important than staging is a strong will. With a positive attitude and strong will you can live with cancer. Health changes are a loss. It's a grieving process--First shock, denial, anger bargaining (if I had done this then that would be different, ect,) and acceptance. This process for me has made me a better person in some respects. There is always room for improvement. Take all the time you need to undergo the treatment. Honestly it's not fun but very doable. Soon you will find a strong side you never knew you had and will be proud of yourself.................... " Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.
