At the end of 2011, I was diagnosed with a really strange and uncommon form of skin cancer, which I had removed in January. They said that clear margins were achieved, and that it's no biggie. I've been back to my dermatologist on many, many, many occasions, and she's even removed a few more spots...all of which have been fine. <br /><br />But. I'm almost 35 weeks pregnant, and some days the fear and what-if's just take over everything. Sometimes, it doesn't feel like it could possibly all be over now, and I find myself feeling like I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. <br /><br />I understand, and you're in my prayers.

I ...I felt the EXACT same way when I was pregnant. I got preg with baby #1 after chemo. And pregnancy symptoms felt just like chemo. It was really hard. The nausea was the same. The way food tasted and what I wanted to eat were the same. The fatigue was the same. And then random things ached, and I didn't know what that meant. I had awful back pain, and I had never been pregnant, so I didn't know what that meant. I had never really had cancer "symptoms" either, so of course everything I felt that was off I worried could be a symptom. But I was healthy, and I'm still healthy, and baby girl is healthy. You are healthy, and your baby girl is healthy. And you are done. It's always with us, and it will in some measure always be with us. I pray for your peace, and that you can enjoy being pregnant (as much as is humanly possible (-: ), and of course for your continued good health.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01061801678979853033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192031313610865107.post-46408022537625440752012-09-28T13:33:06.275-07:002012-09-28T13:33:06.275-07:00Libby, I have been praising God for your healing a...Libby, I have been praising God for your healing and the gift of this new baby.

This post, however, made me cry. in a good way. whether it is cancer worries, or day to day worries, we constantly rob ourselves of joy on a daily basis. when I heard this song I also thought of Jesus. Mumford and Sons seems to have a lot of those underlying messages in their music, it's incredible. but you are so right, the Lord is the one waiting for us.. to trust him, to stand in him, to let him carry us through the good and the bad. and i am so grateful for that. because even though i fail every day, and get wrapped up in the fears and lies, He still waits for me. and He is good. always good. <br />thanksf or writing this and reminding me. your life is a blessing to so many who don't even know you, myself included. <br /> Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782186367797374370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192031313610865107.post-65231704500093685632012-09-27T06:39:33.348-07:002012-09-27T06:39:33.348-07:00I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my second and strug...I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my second and struggling with worries and lies too. And I'm SO fatigued. I've decided that pregnancy just doesn't do good things to my mind! This post describes perfectly how I'm feeling today. I'll pray that we can both be surrounded by God's peace and the anxiety, lies, and bad thoughts will go away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192031313610865107.post-48710781556412718412012-09-26T18:57:15.660-07:002012-09-26T18:57:15.660-07:00loved this post. beautifully written and authentic...loved this post. beautifully written and authentically articulated.daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273815106983162753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192031313610865107.post-25752584593546958572012-09-26T12:59:16.949-07:002012-09-26T12:59:16.949-07:00'i will wait' hit a chord with me today to...'i will wait' hit a chord with me today too, before i even read this. wearing vt relay shirt today too just because it's the one i threw on this morning. funny how little things like that line up & bring us together. you are not alone lib. like you said to me the other day, "we're in this for life." i'm in this. with you. for life. xoElizabeth Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06723885305023717903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192031313610865107.post-29139771193803415772012-09-26T12:49:30.866-07:002012-09-26T12:49:30.866-07:00Amen.
