I am a single forty-nine year old mother of a beautiful twenty-three year old daughter. In two months I will be fifty years old. Less than one month ago I was diagnoses with metastasis small- cell lung cancer. It is in the lymph nodes behind my sternum, which was biopsied. It is also in the adrenal gland above my right kidney and a small mass is in my pelvic floor.
This cancer is fast spreading yet I’ve been told it was found early. It is not in my bones, my brain, or my organs, just near the kidney. I’ve always believed that cancer in the lymph nodes is it . . . you’re done. My doctor says, no. He also said life expectancy with this cancer is one year yet, he also seemed to think I could beat this.
Pray for me please that I do. I had a sister Margaret who died in 1999, she was thirty-nine. Her death about destroyed me. I cried and asked God to take me and not her. She went. I told myself I would become a better person, be like my sister so that I can find her again in heaven, I know she is there and I want to be with her.
I want to be with Margaret, but not for a long time. I want to see my daughter graduate college, settle into a career she is working towards, meet a great guy, marry, have children. I want to be there for her through it all. .
My sister did not want to leave this world when she did. I also had a cousin, age fifty-five who died in 2010 from cancer; she didn’t want to leave either. I want the same things as she did with her son.
God did not stop the earthy death of his son on Earth, why would he stop ours? I believe in God the Father, Creator of Heaven and Earth, and all that is seen and unseen. I pray I don’t meet Jesus for at least twenty years . . . Please allow one of us a miracle, to beat this cancer and to live a long and happy life.
Amen~
