      ​ I’m sorry to hear about the cancer and hardships you had to endure. I hope you might take some comfort in knowing you are not alone in this. At the end, everyone will face the question of what comes next, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that if you pray to Jesus now sincerely and diligently, to ask Him into your life, He will answer you. If you are uncertain if He is God, pray in this way that He shows you, and 100% He will. Even if humans put in our best efforts daily, the world would not be much better than it is now (filled with pain, suffering, problematic, etc..) which is why God requires perfection to enter heaven. But none of us is perfect - that is why Jesus’ gift and following Jesus is the good news or “the Gospel.” Jesus took responsibility for His creation, and came down in the form of a man and led a perfect sinless life. But though He led the perfect life, He was heavily mistreated and humanity killed Him on a cross where He took on the penalty of our wrongdoings (sin). He rose again to life on the 3rd day and is now in heaven. We now have a path to heaven by believing in (that Jesus’ work on the cross cleanses us of all sin) and following Jesus.
      But out of love for you I share this next part that you may enter heaven, the type of faith that saves is obedient faith to Jesus that continues for the remainder of your life (see the Bible: John 15, Matthew 7, Colossians 1, Romans 10). That is, you accept Jesus as your Lord (which means Master) and Savior - implying that we follow His commands and no longer live for ourselves. However, He is the good Master who died for us and His commands are rooted in love and honesty. I cannot tell you anything else that makes it more convenient to enter heaven because it be would false. Jesus is knowable, and He can even clearly interact with you if you are willing to follow Him.
      If you ever want to know if you are in the faith that saves, examine your life against the books of 1,2,3 John. If you are in need of evidence that the Bible is accurate down to the smallest detail, check out the documentary Patterns of Evidence: Exodus. With love, I will be praying for you.

      Consider altering your diet promptly. Eliminate carbohydrates from your nutritional intake. A low-carb diet has shown significant benefits for numerous health conditions, particularly diabetes, where success stories abound. It may also hold potential in cancer treatment.

      @@nycdyke2867 I’m sure your own mother would be tickled pink to see what you’re saying to this woman. Your mother clearly failed at teaching her own child to be kind and compassionate. She also failed to instill the basics of common courtesy…
      1) treat others how you would like to be treated.
      2) if you don’t have anything nice to stay, don’t say anything at all.

      God be with you! Prayers for a healthy baby and a successful outcome in what you're having to deal with, especially now. You WILL prevail and beat this cruel disease. And you are right. There is a strong connection with the mind and body and your positive outlook will beat this back. We here are praying for you, baby, and your family. And also for the many skilled caregivers who will work hard to get you through all of this safe and sound. I've had bladder cancer twice recently and I know this isn't easy, but you are stronger than you know and you have alot to fight for. YOU CAN DO IT! Say it everyday, especially on those days when you feel you can't, and say it LOUD! YOU CAN DO IT! Two of my brothers also died young at 24 and 26, so I hurt for you tremendously. They are with God in their forever home and so is your precious brother. He is watching out for you and asking God to heal you, if it be His will, and I pray that it is. 🙏 All good luck to you, and everyone who loves you, and prayers, prayers, prayers. 🙏🙏🙏 God hears all. ❤

    I also went through cancer while pregnant. I was 30 years old, 5 months pregnant, and had stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer. Which I found out was a rare cancer also. I was given a 16% survival rate, but I told myself I WILL be OK for my baby inside me, and my other little first born 10 month old son. It's scary, it's something I never ever thought I'd be doing... but I did it!! That was 10 years ago now. Mom's are built different💪 the drive to do things for your tiny baby will make you so tough!! I'm sending prayers your way for strength for you and your little baby girl🙏 girl babies are strong!!! Both my boys were in the nicu, and I commented to the nurse how there's so many boy babies here... they informed me they always have more boys than girls.. so your little girl will be a power house!

      I'm so sorry about your sister💔 this stupid inflammatory cancer is so, so, horrible!! My first dr. Sent me home with antibiotics and said it was mastitis, and the ultrasound showed milk in the ducts.She told me to come back after the baby was born 4 months later. Then we could actually do an mri at that time to see what the issue is. The only reason I went to a different dr. Was because my OB dr. Said that looks like Inflammatory cancer, and I can't wait. She got me all set up with these top docs, I would never have found myself. That's where they found I had a10 cm mass, and I was stage 3 with infected lymphnodes already. My OB Dr saved me... I wish more doctors understood rare cancers DO happen and I wish your sister had doctors and treatments that worked for her. It just breaks my heart for her kids.. I'm so sorry

    Melanie, I am so sorry you are on this journey. My husband and us as a family have been on this journey so we understand. To give you words of encouragement my husband was diagnosed at end stage Lymphoma. Long story short he is 100% cancer free. All they could do was chemo which he had a "truck load" of. We then went on the strict keto diet and one supplement. He has now been 100% cancer free (Pet scans, blood work, no trace of the 8 masses) for one year. We are praying that is the same results you get as well. The emotions that flood through are like a dam being broken and it is such a shock. I got sick during that time from all that he was going through. I am fine now. He is fine now. We are grateful. We are praying you will be 100% well.

      Yeah :/ Unfortunately surgery isn't an option yet, but it seems to be somewhat responding as I can already breathe out of my left nostril again for the first time in months. So I am hoping thats a good sign that it is shrinking! We are hopeful they will at some point be able to remove it. Otherwise it will mean radiation as well.

      Well, I do know that stress can weaken your body's ability to fight so staying positive is a good thing. Having said that, you do go through a grieving process when you first get your diagnosis. It is a shock and you are never prepared for it. I was asking why me for the first few weeks and then I got down to business and went into a fight mode.

    Melanie, Your video was recommended to me. I’m so glad as I share a similar story minus your precious baby. I was diagnosed with a very rare/aggressive breast cancer. Treatment options are pretty limited. I did a year and a half of treatment and am almost two yrs into remission/surveillance. I know it’s scary and that you have a new baby makes it even scarier. But I can promise you that you will be okay. I have a new normal than before cancer but have faith that new treatments come out all the time. My only advice is to try and take care of your mental health. My anxiety became worse than my actual treatments. Reach out to the therapists at your cancer center if u feel yourself spiraling. I waited way too long. I wish the very best for you and your family. You’ve got this!💪🏻❤️

She was stage four when she was diagnosed and we for sure thought that she was going to die last year and it came back really aggressively as she had to get surgery again but a year later almost exactly she still here with us, the doctors gave her a prognosis of literally five years or less. And she has surpassed that. Cancer is literally just the word until it happens to you or somebody that you love and I just want to tell you how sorry I am that you're going through this but we're going to be praying for you.

    Oh i am so sorry Melanie. Your video was recommended to me. I have walked through the whole cancer world before with my son who was 15 years old at the time. Its very hard to watch and all these emotions that you have and are totally normal on top of that being pregnant and the hormones would be crazy at the moment. Stay strong keep fighting and if its any help my second son was born he was 4 pounds and he turned out to be a big healthy boy. I also agree don't go down the road of WHAT IF that is one of the things that gets to you the most. take one day at a time and just keep going.

      I am so sorry to hear your son had to fight. Seeing it through my husbands eyes is hard, I can only imagine watching your child go through it. Thank you for your encouragement and sharing your story with me.
