Just because.........
I have a friend that has been diagnosed with breast cancer and has to have both breast removed. In trying to keep it light, this Just because goes out to all the people that have or have been learning to survive whatever...
Just because you feel life has let you down......
Doesn't mean you have to be let down. Stay strong.......

Tia,
ReplyDeleteEven though I have no children, I do have a young nephew and have tried to absorb some of your content. Even so, your blog is so visually stimulating, I love font, the background, your side panels, everything! I think that sub-consciously, appearance is what makes people return to a site or a blog. And I would like to check up on your blog from time to time so that says something. Your friend and all cancer victims are in my prayers and I wish you the best of luck raising those four boys- sounds to me like you're doing a great job.
I'm really...sorry to hear about your friend being diagnosed with breast cancer. I wouldn't want to wish that disease on anyone:( Cancer doesn't run in my family nor have I had anyone close to me diagnosed with breast cancer, but I do know that hearing about all the women affected by it just makes my heart go out to them and their families.
ReplyDeleteThat's why its so...important for us women to make sure that we go to the gynecologist at least once or twice a year to have a breast exam, and receive regular mammograms as we increase in age (higher risk for women 50+). But before all of that, we must also pay attention to our bodies for any type of changes and if there is a change we need to seek medical attention immediately (don't delay or ignore the changes).
I was reading a magazine article about breast cancer, which talked about some of the things t we (family & friends)can do to support our loved ones in coping with their sickness. For example: We can express our love and concern by means of telephone calls, letters, cards, e-mails,and brief visits. Pray together, and read comforting scriptures from the Bible (if you and or they believe in Christianity). The article continued to state that "we shouldn't mention those who died of cancer, but those who lived". It also, mentioned something about having what's called a "cancer-free day" where you and your loved one decides to regular intervals of not talking about the cancer for a whole day. Instead, focus on the positive aspects of their lives (like taking a vacation).
Well...this blogging thing has finally come to an end for me. Blogging is a lot....of work! While I have enjoyed it, I don't have that kind of time right now with school and all to continue blogging (taking 5 classes again next semester). I thoroughly enjoyed reading and responding to your blog! Hopefully....we will cross paths again.
Warm regards,
Shawanda
