I will never forget March 2, 2010 when my doctor called and said those three words I never wanted to hear, " You have cancer." I cried for two days. I was numb with fear. I prayed to God to heal me. I asked him to let me see my 12 year old son grow up and to let me grow old with my husband. I could not stop the tears. Then I prayed that God would take my anxiety and my fear and carry it for me. That he would hold me in his arms and carry me through this terrible time in my life and suddenly I felt a calm wash over me. I have not shed a tear since. The next morning when I was driving to work, I asked God to send me a sign. I turned on the radio and heard a song playing and the words were " You will be safe in his arms".
I had a lumpectomy/partial mastectomy and am now waiting for radiation treatments. I hear that song on the radio every day and know that God will keep me safe in his arms and get me through this. Never lose faith and trust in the Lord. I will survive this chapter in my life because my faith will carry me through. Don't ever give in to cancer, fight with everything you are.
