    All that makes me
    me -- my essence. Spirit, soul, how I love -- no disease can touch.

    I can't take credit for this
    I can't take credit for this but it's worth repeating.

    What Cancer Cannot Do
    Cancer is so limited...
    It cannot cripple Love
    It cannot shatter Hope
    It cannot corrode Faith
    It cannot destroy Peace
    It cannot kill Friendship
    It cannot suppress Memories
    It cannot silence Courage
    It cannot invade the Soul
    It cannot steal eternal Life
    It cannot conquer the Spirit.

    Someone sent me a bookmark
    Someone sent me a bookmark with the saying Lighthouse 7 posted, which I think is so true. Cancer is so limited, it can only take what we let it. And we don't have to let it take one more moment more than the necessary treatments, appointments,etc. I read the saying on this bookmark every time I need to, and my bookmark adds these words; Love, laugh, hope, dream, believe! Everyday I try to do this, no matter what else is going on. Cancer can be conquered in our lives, its not always a death sentence, catch onto hope and don't give up!
