Real words.

"She doesn't want anyone to know."
"I'm worried about her. She seemed kind of down last time we met."
"I have Metastatic Breast Cancer so I'll be doing this the rest of my life."
"I didn't know I'd be having so many reconstructive surgeries."
"I thought I'd close this chapter & walk away."
"Nobody told me my boobs wouldn't be even."
"I'm in a clinical trial, & it's working. Just pray that it keeps working."
"I found a lump."
"The fatigue is overwhelming."
"I couldn't sleep."
"I wake up every morning so sad."
"I think I have PTSD"
"You do have PTSD."
"My brain won't stop spinning."
"I've lost all of my femininity."
"It's impacting my whole family."
"My husband just doesn't know what to do."
"It's an anxiety that never goes away."
"My Labs were good."
"My tumor marker was down."
"My lump is shrinking. My chemo is working."
"I just can't focus."
"I keep gaining weight."
"I feel so ugly."
"My child has separation anxiety."
"Yes, I've met people I never would have met, but I'll never say I'm glad I got breast cancer."
"I wonder how my hair will come back."
"My wig still hasn't arrived."
With tears, my friend said she played with her grand daughter as her daughter watched. Her daughter was having treatments.
She babysits her grandchildren while her daughter has treatments.
"I decided not to have that surgery. I'd rather live with just one boob."
"I'm having another surgery."
"I'll have fat grafting. Maybe I'll look better where the Dr removes fat." Not!
"It didn't turn out how I expected."
"My friends care, but they don't really get it."

  1. Hello sister Susie Brown. I am Pastor from Mumbai, India. I am also blessed and feel privileged and honoured to get connected with you as well as know you and about your sickness. I am moved as I was reading your blog post on "Real Words". Be assured of my prayers for God to heal you of your breast cancer. I love getting connected with the people of God around the globe to be encouraged,s trengthened and praying for one another. I HAVE been in the Pastoral ministry for last 39 yrs in this great city of Mumbai a city with a great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the brokenhearted. We also encourage young and the adults from the west to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We would love to have your young grown up children come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. I am sure they will have a life changing experience. Looking forward to hear from you very soon. God's richest blessings on you, your family and friends. My email id is: dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede.
