I am so sad tonight. A coworker (friend) who also has the same breast cancer diagnosis as me (only she is about 6 weeks ahead of me) is in the hospital because the cancer has spread and it sounds like she is in pretty bad shape. I pray and pray for her that she will be able to beat this but everything I hear is not good. I think it has spread to her brain. What can be done for her at this point? She also had a reoccurence in the same breast as her mastectomy but they treated that aggressively and she was doing better. NOW THIS!! I want to be there for her but I am not sure what I can do for her except pray. I believe that is a lot and has the power for healing so I am asking all of you to pray for her, too.

This makes me ask the question why her and not me. Please pray for her and her family. Thank you!!!

    I am so sorry about this. I know how upset you are. When I have a friend who I met through this disease die I think the same thing.

    I truly believe in prayer. But I also believe that God gives the very best to those who leave the choice to Him. If He feels she would be better off home and out of pain He will take her hand and welcome her into Heaven.

    We will never know why we are spared and others are not. But we do know that with faith we will all be united again.

    I've given up all my screaming and arguing with myself. I can't take it anymore. I had some tests that came back questionable that I have to deal with next week. I should be terrified but I am just so tired of asking all the questions.

    I guess we have to get to a point where realize we did nothing to get this disease and we did everything we could to prevent it from coming back and after that it really is out of our hands.

    Does God listen to some and not others? No. I haven't a clue what He does. But he is running the show. The best we can do is show the people we love how much we treasure them. Tell your friend what she means to you. Tell her you feel bad it is her this is happening to and she will understand. Because I am sure there was someone that she felt that way about herself.

    We have to hold on tight to every single second we have on the earth.

    When I first joined here I was freaking out about getting a recurrance. And someone answered me and simply said "tomorrow is not promised for anyone" and she was so right! And that has helped me so much.

    I pray you feel better, I pray that God's healing grace touches your friend and I pray for all of us going through this miserable disease.

    Hi, My name is Cindy from Puerto Rico, as a husband who is in the military, I as you said have been diagnosis, with brest cancer on both breasts, had the double surgery, thank goodness it was not the mastectomy, my Mom did go throught that, you have to say this disease, it is world wide, and don't say to yourself why me and then all of the sudden my friend. You have to stay strong. I had a girlfriend who lost her life with bladder cancer, what you have to do is support her as I did with my friend who lived being a American in her retirement home in Ensenada Mexico, be strong for her, as yes you are going through it, I have gone through the chemo and retro. Yes the hair came out.
    Please do not be sad, as I have been there if you need any support let me know. I and my husband will pray for you both. Write back,

    Cindy Castro
