Profile Information

Do you have Cancer or Or someone you know?

I have Cancer, A family member, A friend .

What type of cancer are you dealing with?

SURVIVOR OF BREAST CANCER AND HAVE SKIN CANCER.....

I'M USUALLY A VERY PRIVATE PERSON AND KEEP ALOT TO MYSELF...BUT A VERY DEAR FRIEND..TOLD ME I SHOULD GET IT OUT AND TELL MY STORY...WELL HERE'S ALITTLE OF WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH AND STILL GOING THROUGH..

MY GRANDMOTHER HAD BREAST CANCER AND LEFT THIS WORLD ON THANKSGIVING 1979...MY MOTHER HAD OVARIAN CANCER PLUS HEART CONDITION AND LEFT THIS WORLD ON MOTHER'S DAY 1997..7 DAYS BEFORE HER 70TH BIRTHDAY..THESE 2 LADIES WERE MY BEST FRIENDS..THEY BOTH RAISED AND LOVED ME AND SHOWED ME WHAT LIFE WAS ALL ABOUT....GIVING OF THEMSELVES AND NEVER ASKING FOR ANYTHING IN RETURN..

I WAS BORN WITH AN ACTIVE THYROID CONDITION...AND HAVE BEEN TREATED FOR IT SINCE I WAS 3 YEARS OLD..
IN 1999 I STARTED HAVING SEVERE NECK PAIN...SO THE DOCTORS PUT ME INTO PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR 13 WEEKS WITH IT NOT GETTING ANY BETTER...SO THEY SENT ME TO A NEUROLOGIST..WHERE I UNDER WENT CAT SCANS AND MRI'S...THE 4TH AND 5TH VIRABRAE IN MY NECK HAD CRUSH....SO I WAS ADMITTED FOR EMERGENCY SURGERY...THEY WENT IN THROUGH THE FRONT ON MY NECK AND FUSED THE BONE FROM MY HIP BONE..BUT WHILE IN SAW A MASS THAT HAD BEEN GROWING ON MY RIGHT THYROID GLAND... THEY REMOVED IT....BUT WHILE I WAS IN SURGERY.......I SUFFERED A MINI-STROKE......WHICH WENT DOWN MY SIDE ......WHEN I CAME OUT OF ICU..THE DOCTORS TOLD ME AND MY HUSBAND ABOUT THE MASS THEY REMOVED WE LATER FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS CANCER BUT ALL WAS REMOVED... THE DOCTORS HAD TOLD US THAT I MIGHT NEVER TALK AGAIN..I WENT THROUGH ALOT OF PHYSICAL THERAPY AND ALOT OF MEDS...SINCE SUFFERING THE STROKE......I HAD TO LEARN TO USE MY RIGHT HAND AND ARM ALL OVER AGAIN..PLUS THE MOVEMENT OF MY RIGHT LEG....TODAY I STILL HAVE SOME WEAKNESS IN THIS AREA...AND EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE SOME TWITCHING....BUT I'M THANKFUL CAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE....I BELIEVE IN PRAYER......THERE WERE DAYS I WOULD STAND ON MY TIP-TOES TRYING TO DEAL WITH THE PAIN OF JUST SWOLLOWING..LITTLE THINGS WE TAKE FOR GRANTED...THERE IS STILL DAYS THAT MY VOICE COMES AND GOES...AND AT NIGHT WHEN I WATCH TV OR STAY ON THE COMPUTER FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME I HAVE TO WEAR MY NECK BRACE..BUT I DEAL WITH IT....

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SKIN CANCERS REMOVED..SOME CANNOT BE REMOVED..SO EACH DAY I DEAL WITH THE PAIN OF THEM..

IN AUGUST 2007...BEING SO WRAPPED UP IN MY SON'S CONDITION..WHICH IS A WHOLE OTHER STORY..I LOSS TRACK OF MYSELF..WHILE SHOWERING I NOTICED A LUMP ON MY RIGHT BREAST..NEVER TELLING ANYONE AND HOPING THAT IT WOULD GO AWAY..I DECIDED I WOULD GO TO THE DOCTOR AND LET HIM SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON....FIRST IT WAS THE NEEDLE DRAWING FLUID TO TEST....IT WAS CANCER...2 DAYS LATER I WAS IN THE HOSPTIAL..DEALING WITH THIS ON MY OWN....MY HUSBAND BEING A TRUCK DRIVER WAS OUT OF STATE...MY SON I HAD TO GET A PRIVATE NURSE TO STAY WITH HIM...AND FRIENDS HERE WERE NOT TO BE FOUND..THE HARDEST THING WAS TO SIGN A PAPER..IF THEY HAD TO TAKE THE BREAST TO GIVE THEM PERMISSION...BUT I WAS LUCKY AND THE GOOD LORD WAS WITH ME..THEY REMOVED THE CANCER LUMP AND A FEW OTHERS THAT WERE FORMING..THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE MY BREAST..I HAD TO HAVE 6 WEEKS OF CHEMO...AND SO FAR NO SIGN..BUT I KNOW EACH DAY THERE IS A CHANCE THAT IT WILL BE BACK....I NEVER WILL BE COMPLETELY FREE OF THIS DISEASE..I HAVE FOUND ANOTHER GROWTH BUT SO FAR IT'S NOT CANCER...BUT THE DOCTORS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO OPERATE UNLESS IT WAS NECESSARY....SO EACH DAY I PRAY...

I LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST AND TRY TO BRING SMILES TO THOSE THAT I CAN......LIFE IS TO SHORT TO SIT AND FROWN AND FEEL SORRY....I ALWAYS FEEL THERE'S SOMEONE THAT HAS IT WORSE THAN ME.....

SOME DAYS I ASK WHY ME...BUT I REALIZED GOD LOVES ME...NO MATTER WHAT...UNCONDITIONALLY...AS PART OF MY PHYSICAL THERAPY..I STARTED SEWING TO GAIN THE STRENGTH BACK IN MY RIGHT HAND AND ARM..THAT'S WHEN I STARTED DESIGNING DOLLS AND WORKING WITH PLASTIC..AND CROCHETING.....I FEEL IT'S A TALENT GOD GAVE TO ME....ANOTHER LEARNING EXPERIENCE IN LIFE...

I KEEP MYSELF BUSY MAKING AND DESIGNING DOLLS.....EVEN THOUGH I NEVER SELL THEM THEY ARE ALL BOXED UP...

I MAKE SMILEY FACE PILLOWS FOR THE KIDS AT RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE....PLUS PREMIE BLANKETS..

THERE'S DAYS ALL I WANT TO DO IS SING..AND THAT'S WHY I'M GLAD I FOUND SS...ALOT OF SPECIAL PEOPLE ARE THERE THAT I HAVE MET..IF YOU EVER WANT TO VISIT MY SITE PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COME AND JOIN ME.....
HERE IS MY SITE..OR IF YOU JUST WANT SOMEONE TO TALK TO OR JUST TO LISTEN I'M HERE..

Master of the Storm

Long ago, Jesus chose to walk, with you,
Through the coldest storm.
Though, at times, you may struggle on alone,
With your courage all long gone.
He will come to hold you, in the fiercest storm.

Though completely weak, unable to go on
He is there, His arms are holding you.
For, all your effort cannot keep you strong.
Now, every last resource is gone.

It is then He comes, within the deepest pain,
To whisper, "Trust Me, now, you can.
For, I am here and I know ~
I know your hurt. I hear you crying in the rain.

In your darkness, now, I will restore
So light will return to you, once more,
I know every valley that you have borne.
I will keep you without harm,
Though battered in the storm.

One day soon you will not feel this fear;
Alone, in the frightening night, so long,
I am coming to replace all that is not enough.
For, I will lift you up to see beyond.

I am the only One who can see you through.
when you're strength is all long gone,
I will come to hold you.
I will keep you in the storm.

In all the time of longing for the sun to shine,
when your heart is unable to go on,
I will come to carry you
And I will keep you warm."

A Soldier's Christmas

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, HE LIVED ALL ALONE,,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF PLASTER AND,
STONE.

I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.

I LOOKED ALL ABOUT, A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS, NOT EVEN A TREE.

NO STOCKING BY MANTLE, JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.

WITH MEDALS AND BADGES, AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,,
A SOBER THOUGHT CAME THROUGH MY MIND.

FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT, IT WAS DARK AND,
DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER, ONCE I COULD SEE,
CLEARLY.

THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING, SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.,

THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE, THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,,
NOT HOW I PICTURED A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.,

WAS THIS THE HERO OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?,
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO, THE FLOOR FOR A BED?,

I REALIZED THE FAMILIES THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS WHO WERE,
WILLING TO FIGHT.,

SOON ROUND THE WORLD, THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS,
DAY.,

THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS, LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.,

I COULDN'T HELP WONDER HOW MANY LAY ALONE,,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.,

THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE,,
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES AND STARTED TO CRY.,

THE SOLDIER AWAKENED AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
"SANTA DON'T CRY, THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;
I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM, I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD, MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS."

THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT, I CONTINUED TO WEEP.

I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS, SO SILENT AND STILL
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.

I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR SO WILLING TO FIGHT.

THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,
WHISPERED, "CARRY ON SANTA,
IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE."

ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH, AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT,
MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.
