Dear Shelley,
right on!!!! Let me add one thing to your compassionate, courageous
message. While many or maybe most of us believe in God and the strength
and wisdom He/She possesses and delivers to us, we must know that it is
us, you and I and all the other great support team and caregivers and
survivors, who with the will and determination and aggressive positive
energy will beat this disease. God gives us the tools, it is up to all
of us to take advantage of those tools and do the Godly thing, as you
are doing, to bring the message to the world that we will be beat cancer
and will not allow it to beat us. And there are those skeptics either
in the medical community, or relationships or friends that may be
negative in their approach, it is only because they lack the knowledge
and understanding that we are strong in our resolve to win. And win we
will and shall. But my experience with the medical community that they
have provided much positive energy and experience to healing. It is but
a few who seem to have to learn that the will and strength and resolve
of the human beings love of God and the love of quality life that will
make believers of them when good health becomes a reality.
,Thank you for your contribution, Shelley, Keep up the great work.
God Bless You
