I have been a breast cancer survivor for 8 years now. My children were older when I had to tell them about my cancer. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do, including the chemo/radiation. I was so sick from chemo, that sometimes I didn't think I could take another one, but my husband always gave me pep talks the night before as I lie in bedding crying. If it had not been for him, I don't think I could have done it. <br /> Libby, I promise you that you will make it through this and your hair will grow back. You will be a much stronger person because of what you are going through. I will keep you in my prayers and think of you a lot.<br /> PS Jennifer and Ben B are my family. Jen is my niece and I know she will be praying for you also. You just hang in there sweetie and you will be fine.<br />Connie Rose<br />Union, KentuckyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192031313610865107.post-68426841492502630362010-08-30T14:52:21.542-07:002010-08-30T14:52:21.542-07:00not that i know from experience, but i guess that ...not that i know from experience, but i guess that like childbirth and other pain we experience-you will remember that it was a painful experience but you will not remember the intensity of the pain. praying that the time will pass quickly for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192031313610865107.post-68477550726958465152010-08-30T10:55:43.723-07:002010-08-30T10:55:43.723-07:00You dont know me but heard of you via a friend..ou...You dont know me but heard of you via a friend..our family is praying for you!!

I honestly dont know what to write, thank you! Thank you for being such a beautiful example. For being strong, for being a great wife and mother even when you don't have the physical strength. And most importantly for sharing Christ even to those of us who "thought" we knew him. I continue to pray for your healing and also praise God for all of the people who are going to come to know him through your example.

I also wish you didn't have to endure the next six months of treatment. How crazy that its called chemotherapy..."therapy"...sounds soooo not therapuetic but we all trust that God uses it for your healing. I know what a bright spot that new furniture (yay!) must be in the midst of beginning chemo. I hope you and Ava have lots of fun cuddle time on the couch :)I will pray for you to keep on keeping on.

Six months seems like a long time in some respects, but like a flash in time in other respects...just think back to when Ava was born; I'll bet you can give every detail and it seems like just yesterday.
