Are You Sure? - The outlook of a woman with ovarian cancer
| Yes, I have
had some bad days and nights, but I feel blessed to see and feel the
love of my friends and family while I still live. The flowers, sounds
of laughter, cry of a newborn, smell of rain and many, many other
wonders we take for granted fill my days. |
When I was told that I had ovarian cancer I thought there was a mistake
or something!!! He was crying and so upset that all I wanted to do was
hold him and tell him everything would be fine. I was told I had close
to 6 months to live. I paid no attention to those numbers and started
to think about how blessed I am. I knew nothing about ovarian cancer,
but I knew my Lord.
My family was there for me and I feel like they were in more pain than
I. During my treatments I met the most wonderful people in the world.
First, I met my husband. He was the same man that I married 8 years earlier.
But, he was, and is, the boat that floated to me just as I was sinking.
His encouragement and love have kept me happy with a true smile on my
face.
I think most all women have a fear of their lover seeing them in a (not
so cool), position—literally!!! I did. But, my sweet Billy made
me feel like the most beautiful woman on the planet.
Yes, I have had some bad days and nights, but I feel blessed to see
and feel the love of my friends and family while I still live. The flowers,
sounds of laughter, cry of a newborn, smell of rain and many, many other
wonders we take for granted fill my days.
If there is one thing I can say to help a family suffering the news
of cancer, it would be—love, love and love her/him. Think about
what you need when you are scared to death! You need care, concern, protection,
and love.
I take more time to thank my Lord for all these things. And when I sleep
I know God is holding me very tight and giving my family and loved ones
the support they need.
It all comes down to love I feel from God that gets me through the days
and nights. We laugh a lot. Cry a little. And thank God we have each other.
My good friends, good family, good doctors and nurses, 7 little grandbabies,
5 children, and the best husband ever has helped me get this far. I think
I will be around to see my babbies finish school and hopefully find a
man or woman to spend the rest of their life with. Like mine. My Billy,
my love, my life !!!
