I am in remission from breast cancer and what I have learned is that I am the only one that can take charge of my health and that following a misdiagnosis of cancer,that doctors aren’t always right, sometimes your inner voice is. Despite all this though, I have learned mcuh about the blessings of an illness and I look on my cancer experience as a reawakening and a rebirth. http://beyondbreastcancer.wordpress.com/2009/05/05/letting-the-sacred-grow/JBBChttp://beyondbreastcancer.wordpress.com/2009/05/05/letting-the-sacred-grow/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166404754697132301.post-79099607470999744372009-05-05T14:25:00.000-06:002009-05-05T14:25:00.000-06:00Each and every one of us a some sort of cross to b...Each and every one of us a some sort of cross to bear in this life. For some it is physical, others emotional, etc. I imagine it is how we respond to the trials that truly determine who we are. <br />I have an abnormally small bladder and was chastised constantly as a child. I too didn't find this out until I was hospitalized for salmonella poisoning. It doesn't make it any better when I desperately need a bathroom but it does help me to remember "It isn't just in my head." :)Decor To Adorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359245078617786198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166404754697132301.post-41699776725351478582009-05-04T16:58:00.000-06:002009-05-04T16:58:00.000-06:00Thank you for stopping by to say hello on my blog....Thank you for stopping by to say hello on my blog.

It is hard because I want so very much to be able to control my life: to know that if I do x, y will happen. But that is not the way that life works. And the one thing that I have mostly learned is that accepting the pain and offering myself back to God is by far the best way to respond to pain. With pain like mine it only makes things worse to fight.Raehttp://nowealthbutlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166404754697132301.post-84949323666802077882009-05-04T15:39:00.000-06:002009-05-04T15:39:00.000-06:00I am going to call you.

I...Oh, I am so sorry you've had to deal with this. I've been blessed with extraordinary good health- worst that's ever happened in the last 20 years was the flu, 2 years ago. My mom actually got quite mad when I mentioned one day that I felt like I had to look over my shoulder for what was coming, because no one could have it this easy, could they? (That was before I considered that perhaps my "down" days were more frequent than others...and theirs didn't last for months at a time...and didn't take them nearly so low... so my inner health isn't nearly as robust as my outer health.)<br /><br />I think what I've learned is that no matter what we're handed, we stay the course. God doesn't ask us to ARRIVE at perfection, He asks us to be on the PATH to perfection. Be pointed in the right direction, if you will. <br /><br />I've also learned that busy hands and mind can distract a great deal :)Myrniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585790815417752655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166404754697132301.post-63826554730023292952009-04-30T21:02:00.000-06:002009-04-30T21:02:00.000-06:00Yes, to be more Christ-like. :) Only through Chris...Yes, to be more Christ-like. :) Only through Christ's love can we find such peace and forgiveness. Bitterness is the absence of Christ. <br /><br />I've got something I struggle with too - maybe TMI, but I have chronic yeast issues. I've had it for the past 8 years, and no doctor can help me with it. I've turned to herbal remedies which have kept it bearable. I've even tried dietary changes to no avail...I think it's hormonal.<br /><br />Prayers for healing my friend.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356420873078531863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166404754697132301.post-54657937820828983222009-04-30T19:02:00.000-06:002009-04-30T19:02:00.000-06:00What a story.
