I’m grateful for fellow 43’er bebe0315, she made prayer for me one of her goals here on 43things. I’m flattered and honored. Think what might happen if she got a team of people praying for me. I believe in the power of prayer.

Why Me?  — 4 months ago

If I were to say, ’’God, why me?’’ about the bad things, then I should have said, ’’God, why me?’’ about the good things that happened in my life.
Arthur Ashe

I’m so convicted!
I have asked that question so many times in my struggles with cancer. I have never asked “God, why me” about the good things. I plan to change that here on out!

I maxed out this challenge on purpose. In 5 years I want to be able to say I’m still alive and fighting!

Cancer  — 6 months ago

I am having a chemobrain day!

What is chemobrain?
The terms “chemobrain” and “chemofog” refer to cognitive changes during and after cancer diagnosis and treatment. Though these terms imply a relation to chemotherapy, it isn’t clear that chemotherapy is responsible. Women with breast cancer who underwent chemotherapy were the first group to bring these symptoms to light, as more started mentioning their symptoms to their doctors. It isn’t clear whether chemotherapy, or other factors such as stress and hormonal fluctuations, cause the changes in memory and thinking. What is clear is that some people with cancer do notice increased difficulties with certain mental tasks during and after cancer treatment.
For more info “google it.”

Beat Cancer. Get annual physicals, make it a life priority.  — 6 months ago

I went for a routine annual exam Oct 1999. My doctor touched an area and I flinched. Our eyes locked and the rest was history. I went thru chemo and radiation over the next 6 months. I went for exams semi-annually after that for 5 years. On the last doctor’s visit before I was going back to annual exams only, my doctor touched an area and I flinched. History was repeated again. Thank God I am still fighting to this day! Please people get regular physicals, it can save your life. If not for yourself, do it for the people who love you!
