Be Strong
Ok friends, SOS. I continue to remind myself to stay strong! Now I need definition.. because I feel like I'm failing. I question pains that shoot through my body or in the area it was found.. I panic in my head.. is that it?? is that the cancer somewhere else in my body.. I get irritated easily and then cry because I flew off the handle. (am I not being strong) It's said if you let cancer beat you it will.. but if you stay strong it can help you beat cancer.. are these things i'm going through showing signs of weakness or not being strong? The after effects of radiation start around 2-3 weeks, affecting organs in the area of treatment.. for me, include ovaries (hormones). So I'm reaching out for strength.. by tomorrow, I may be a cheerleader again.. (haha) your emails and postings keep my brain busy. Thank you for listening. Love Debbie

Ok, you've been busy...I think busy is good, but not necessarily busy "thinking"....know that you ARE being strong, you WILL kick this in the butt, and move on with your life!!! I feel all these emotions are part of the process and that with time you will settle down into a more normal routine for you. I'm sure Curt & Chey understand...they love you very much, even if you've had a rough day and they are taking some of the heat too. You are doing great and I think writing about it is good so you can "get it out" to all of us....I hope we as friends are doing enough to help you cope w/ everything. I think we'd all want you to let us know if we could do more or do anything different to help you out! You are loved my many and just keep reminding yourself of all the positives in your life and all the positive things your friends have shared w/ you! And ABOVE ALL, ask for GOD's help thru this - HE CAN ease your mind & spirit above us all. Love you lots!
Had to add this - I just received it in an email: When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully and let go,
only 1 of 2 things will happen, either He'll catch you when you fall, or
He'll teach you how to fly!'
WOW - The power of one sentence! God is always there for us no matter what...know for certain that he'll catch you or you'll be flyin' girl!! :)
WHAT CANCER CANNOT DO:
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit
Deb,

Hey girl! Remember your here for the Party! and your going to beat this thing. Everyone loves you so, don't worry about hurting anyone with emotion, they should understand. Love ya and see ya soon.
Deb,
Strength doesn't always come from fighting. Isaiah 30:15 says, "...in quietness and trust shall be your strength." Let Him be your strength. Loveyou,

Debbie Deb Deb,
We ALL LOVE you and you are not failing! Of course you are going to have very rough times, "hormones", side effects, mad times, sad times...we're not happy about it and wish we could snap and make it all go away...but Curt and Chey and your friends, we love you through it all. Let God be your strength. We BELIEVE!!
Love ya, Colleen
