It was pure luck that I found out about my stage 4 lung cancer. If I had not had a granmal seizure causing a car accident I would've never known.
I had gone to the hospital back in Sept. because of chest pains,shortness of breath and nausea. ER doctor told me that it was a pulled muscle and never followed up. I got the exrays and my sister is a nurse and she even asked,"How could they miss it?" At that time it was the size of a half dollar! Now it is the size of a fist with mets to the brain.
I'm only 36 and thought that i would have a liftime to see my 4 boys grow to be men. I'm not saying that I won't as my FAITH keeps me going. But I'm also a realist. I also feel that GOD has a purpose for me because if HE didn't i would've died in that car accident.
Right now my siblings and I are closer then we've ever been and to that I thanh OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. It has been difficult for my boys( ages 14-19) and I'm not quite sure how to talk to them about all this. I know that they are trying to come to grips with everything and i'm trying to give them their space. Any advice out there as to how to handle this with them?
But all I can say to everyone out there that is going through this with a loved one, turn to GOD, HE is our lifeblood and in the end HE decides who stays on this earth and who HE takes with HIM. Because of my FAITH and love in JESUS CHRIST I'm not afraid to go. GOD BLESS all who are going through this turmoil in their life.
