I pray that God will give you strength. How neat that your new nurse is so kind and willing to share with you her experience, it is so important. I hope that you can figure out what to do abuot your FIL, you have big decisions. God is bigger though and He is with there with you. <BR/><BR/>Love SharonRose of Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05531200562867245403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799719900559153470.post-4463918765452894152007-11-17T00:49:00.000-06:002007-11-17T00:49:00.000-06:00Dear Deena, You are so bold and so brave.

My heart goes out to you as you begin this journey.<BR/><BR/>I need to spend some time on your blog to figure out who you are and to understand your whole story...<BR/><BR/>Until then, I'd like to echo Sherry's always-right-on advice to try to get as much TLC and understanding as you can. If you'd like to connect with someone who's been there, please feel free to email me anytime. xoxo Jilllahdeedahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11366897145695644359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799719900559153470.post-52731014636650900062007-11-16T20:48:00.000-06:002007-11-16T20:48:00.000-06:00Deena,Your post is one of the most REAL posts that...Deena,<BR/>Your post is one of the most REAL posts that I have read since I started blogging...sometimes as Christians we tend to blog only the good days...afraid to be real..or someone to think that we are not having enough faith..or whatever else Christians do to each other..I appreciate and share your burden with you in prayer....and I thank you for being real....because I have not had the courage to.....except to family ......I am going through a medicine change...and it is so affecting my emotional and physical health...no it is not life threatening....but I cannot blog about it as family reads my blog and are very quick to pass judgment....and I too have a daughter that lets me cry to her over the phone...and btw..I too have 5 small grandsons..with #6 grandson due in March.......so Deena...sweet...lady I did not mean this to be so long...but I do care...and Breast cancer is near and dear to my heart...and I will uphold you in prayer...and your husband as well.....<BR/>Deby<BR/>Washington State~~Debyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288057520112643825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799719900559153470.post-24055066032484369802007-11-16T19:34:00.000-06:002007-11-16T19:34:00.000-06:00Deena,Sharon couldn't have passed the award to a m...Deena,<BR/><BR/>Sharon couldn't have passed the award to a more deserving recipient. I was honored to make the award for you and am glad that you are enjoying it.<BR/><BR/>My aunt is a breast cancer survivor and it is a hard thing to go through. I am so glad you have the love and support of your family.<BR/><BR/>If you love birds and the sounds of nature, I suggest that you purchase a CD of bird songs and a couple of nature ones. You can put these in and listen to them as you are recuperating from your surgery. I know it isn't quite the same but the bird songs will soothe your soul.<BR/><BR/>Keep your eyes heavenward and lean on God. He will carry you through this. <BR/><BR/>I hope you don't mind that I'm adding you to my blogroll so I can keep updated.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>maryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799719900559153470.post-70641895151556169802007-11-16T18:37:00.000-06:002007-11-16T18:37:00.000-06:00Hope and faith will carry you through Deena, but t...Hope and faith will carry you through Deena, but there are always going to be dark days and good days. When I told my 2 teenaged sons about my diagnosis I reminded them that we would all have good and bad days. We need those bad days...or we would never appreciate the good days. When I get to the bottom of a bad day, I know I'll be up for air and when I get up? Oh it will be so sweet. Even 2 years on from diagnosis I still have my good and bad days.<BR/><BR/>You have a compounded situation of having your FIL living with you and that is not easy. You naturally want to be front and centre and you have the right to want that. Keep talking with your husband and keep the doors of communication open. It will help.<BR/><BR/>If you're finding it harder to come out of the darkness, do speak to your doctor about a prescription for something. Many, many women on the breast cancer journey use something to help with the emotions. I didn't start Effexor until I was about 18 months in, but I'm glad that at that point, when I knew I really needed something I spoke up.<BR/><BR/>This is hard physically and emotionally and we need to avail ourselves of whatever we can.<BR/><BR/>((((((((((hugs))))))))) for better days which will come. Have faith. Have Hope.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271529958269038071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799719900559153470.post-70741720140179486302007-11-16T17:19:00.000-06:002007-11-16T17:19:00.000-06:00Deena,I stopped and prayed for you as I was readin...Deena,<BR/>I stopped and prayed for you as I was reading your post this evening...<BR/>I can assume that your husband is home by now and you are feeling better... but there will be tomorrow and the tomorrow after that... so I will pray for you each morning to help you get through that day...<BR/>I thank you for sharing your feelings as you feel them... so the rest of us can pray for a specific thing... like helping you to cope with your FIL... on one day and your nausea on another day...<BR/>Be Encouraged...
