Breast cancer stages, types, and statistics
My cancer diagnosis was a double-shock. Not only because I had never gave a second thought to the prospect (even though 1 in 8 women will get it), but because by the time I was diagnosed it had already spread far, and it was the worst type to get. My family and friends were very […]
13 scriptures to pray in your healing
I am currently fighting stage IV terminal cancer. This has been quite a shock to my family, as I am only 39, I have three kids ages seven and younger, and I’ve always been healthy. I’ve found using the Bible to anchor my soul is a lifesaver. I’m sharing some of the scriptures on healing […]
