    You are so right about the age brackets. Up until i reached 40, i had never had anything wrong with me , never even been in a hospital. I turned 40 and all hell broke loose , i kid you not. Diagnosed with DCIS at 40, my skin has changed, rosacea on my face, two years ago i had my right ovary removed and tubes cause of a 10 cm cyst, periods where i thought i was hemorrhaging and now earlier this year was diagnosed again with breast cancer in the same breast. Im currently waiting for my sentinel node biopsy results. It has been a roller coaster!

    Wow. She spoke my life. What I’m currently in the middle of. I’m stage 3, triple negative. Will have to have a mastectomy in a few weeks with radiation to follow. Pending an appointment with the plastic surgeon to find out what reconstruction options MAY be available for me. I know all these ups and downs and questions and feelings. She spoke so articulately about it all. I felt like a bobble head the whole time watching, I understood all of it. I pray, since this was done so long ago, that she’s healthy and happy!!!!!

    At first I watched it because I have a problem with my breast and I have so analyses to do and I wanted to listen to some stories about breast cancer even though I shouldn’t. But felt touched by her story. Such wise word from a young person.
    I saw in the comments that she passed away. May her soul rest in peace, she’ll be deeply missed.

    Jesus(God) healed me of breast cancer among many other things including fear, anxiety, depression and deep rooted anger. I dont blame people for doubting because i used to be one if those people but if you seek the truth with your whole heart you will find Him. And NOTHING CAN COMPARE. no one can put a value on it. A relationship with our creator is priceless and endless. When this lady called cancer a blessing in disquise i totally get it. Though some days are like "hell" over all it has brought many lessons that can only be learned by going through 1st hand. It also has given me a new perception on suffering for Gods glory and life in general. It also has inabled me to walk much closer to the one who holds tomorrow. We may not know what tomorrow holds but we know who holds tomorrow and His name is Yeshua/Jesus. Take your time and trust your instincts God gave us our instincts for good reason. I Love all you warriors of Love. GOD IS LOVE AND LOVE HEALS. Xo May God bless and keep you. Mark 12:30,31

      Yea, maybe you're right, but everyone will at some point pass. So I encourage everyone reading this, to not let whatever you face bring you down, fight for living a colourful life fill of joy and to rise above any circumstances and gloom that may be present in your life. There is still beautiful things to treasure, especially the love of people who you care about.
      Life is a bed of roses, people just forget - roses have thorns!! But despite that, they remain beautiful and fragrant. This lady, as well as me and most people in life, experienced deep thorns.. But she's still beautiful and strong and gave it her best fight. And I too will continue to fight, despite the cancer thorn. Rise above, and smell the roses and appreciate the beauty in life. :)
