Guess who's back...Views: 266

I’m 20 now.

I’m back; and guess what came back with me.

/sigh I cannot catch a break.

For those of who, who know me. About my father. He passed away on November 20th, 2007 from many things. Sadly enough it was a good month for me. I didn’t think about cancer for a whole 24 hours on November 12th. :) I felt safe and confident.

In other words I can almost put my hair into a tiny pony tail. I’m keeping my head up.

It’s not my left and one and only ovary though! It’s on my right side. Tests still need to be run but I’m praying to the Lord that I feel has abandoned me asking for a miracle.

Gemma – It is great to hear from you. You have been missed. Sorry to hear about your dad. Keep us posted on how the test results turn out.

Gemma! I’m so sorry to see you back here in this cancer place. But think of it as a glitch. You’ll be better before you know it.

Sorry about dad, we lost my father in law in February.

As for the tests and the possible return of cancer, remember the shirt you were proud of! Don’t give in. I am convinced cancer is a disease that thrives on fear. Stay strong and fight like every dream you have depends on it!

I will keep you in prayer

Gemmag;
Hi I am new to this site but I have been battling cancer for last 5 years. I know it is hard and you do feel like you can’t catch a break. I will add you to my prayer list. It is ok to be mad at God but he did not abandoned you your faith will help you get through this. I am so sorry to hear about your Father. Keep the faith

Hey Gemma! Been awhile, huh? We still think about you all the time over here!
Hang in there, and let us know when you get the results back, ok?

Will, glad to hear from you.
It is sad to lose a loved one and I will keep him in my thoughts. We know he is with our Lord and is safe from any pain.

Keep posted on how you are doing.
