At that time you had just found out about your cancer. I was only about 1 1/2 years out from my own treatment for stage 3 breast cancer and just felt a very real and strong kindred spirit with you and what you were going through. I wrote a long letter to your husband sharing all the many miraculous ways God proved Himself throughout my own cancer journey. And I have been praying for you over these past months, even though we have never met. <br /><br />YOU DID IT!!!! Hallelujah!!! You have made it through the hardest of your treatments! When you come out the other side where you are entering into now and look back, isn't it just so amazing to see all that you did through the strength that you KNOW only could have come from God?! You go, girl!!! But please do continue to take care of yourself and don't overdo things, pushing yourself too fast, too hard in your exuberance about feeling better! Right afterward, at least in my experience, I think the chemo and especially the steroids had a residual effect, causing me to feel really strong and energetic that whole first year afterward. Eventually I needed time out just to recover from all my exuberance! :) God bless you as you go forward and as Jesus opens new doors for you to walk through on this path.<br /><br />Sincerely in Christ,<br />Bonnie<br /><br /> Hi, Joni,

Either way we cry. It is just part of being a personw with cancer. My advice? Don't try to figure it out, just cry. The time will come when you stop crying and will actually miss the emotions and the reality of this time.
