...So... I don't want to offend anyone...but I want to discuss the spiritual side of all of this.... As I was being wheeled into the emergency room with a total intestinal blockage... I had a vision of being on a white horse with wings carrying me away
and a little voice in my head saying this is it
this is what you have been waiting for
this is freedom
Morphine
maybe
but I like to think that this is my purpose to be a cancer survivor...and to spread the word about colonoscopies
and to get insurance companies to pay for them at whatever age
. This is my epiphany
.Has anyone else had similar experiences?
Love Ya,
Hana

Hana: I have had many experiences since my diagnosis (none of them drug induced) that I hesitate telling anyone about because they might think I am crazy. These are things that have happened that have been verified by my family and friends. My dreams have also intensified and I tend to know before it happens what the next step, decision or challenge will be. I guess I have become much more intuitive. Is there a purpose or reason to all this? I absolutely believe so, and this is an entirely personal thing. I feel as if I am being guided, although I have yet to figure out what the purpose may be. You seem to already know yours, and that is great. Thanks for having the courage to post your experience. Monica

Hana,
My husband suffered a sudden cardiac arrest in 2000, and the doctors and EMT's all said there was no medical reason he should have survived. There were a whole series of miracles put together to insure his survival that day. One of them was the presence of a lady who appeared and helped with CPR until the rescue squad arrived. After that, no one saw her, and we never could identify her. I think she was an angel. If you want to know more about the miracles that brought Bill back, email me (it can be a lengthy story).
Love,

Like Babs said, who really knows why some of us survive and others do not. I have to believe that it is fate, our lives are not finished yet and there is more that we have to do. I have not had an "epiphany" as you put it, but I do feel that I was spared for some reason yet to be revealed to me. I guess my work here is not finished. I hope as a result of all of this I have become a better person, at least.
Take care,

I have not had this experience, however sometimes I feel that I got colon cancer for a reson, I truly appreciate everything more now, family, true friends, strangers, don't get me wrong I wish I didn't have to go through this, but I appreciate everything alot more, and I smile more, God had truly blessed me, I just finished 12 rounds of chemo and next surgery then more chemo, I am extremly positive and it is all in God's hands!!
God bless you, and keep you well

Hana,
I definitely have been more spiritual since my dad was diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago. Maybe this is the reason that it happened? I don't know, but I do know that God has blessed me and my family so much since dad's diagnosis. Also, my mom had a severe heart attack the same year as my dad's diagnosis. Things didn't look so good for my mom or dad, but I kept praying and perservering in prayer and Jesus gave us miracles with both of my parents. I do believe that God has angels working for him and possibly that is what you saw-maybe your guardian angel. Thanks for sharing your story.
God bless,
