speaking of husbands...In the beginning with my diagnosis, he didn't offer anything really. No talking to my drs., no help trying to get second opinion set. I got so frustrated that I said, "We're in this together and I need your support or I will go it without you!" He started jumping in and helping anyway he could. I honestly think he really didn't know what to do to help. He started learning everything he could and staying by my side for everythng. I love him!

I take it with a grain of salt. I listen to everything my oncologist says. After all he's there to get you through this. Personally, when I learned I had AML [leukemia], I was in shock b/c no one in my bloodline as ever had cancer in any form. What got me through all the stress and worry was my reconnection with God. I had lots of talks with the hospital Chaplin. From that point on after accepting my lord and savior, all that weight was lifted from my shoulders. Whether I lived or died, I was good with whatever was in store for me. I would lean on the Lord if the word Cancer worries him.

Paul said to live was Christ, to die was gain. This is the Hope that he expressed all through his writings.
I am so glad you responded to the Spirit and reconnected with our Savior. May you find healing in the great Physician.

I don't "handle" it. I have been very open with my cancer diagnosis. This removes the stigma and the fear. Not my fear, but other people's fear of cancer. I am always willing to have a dialog. It puts people at ease and erases many misconceptions. Sometimes I learn something new.
