The doctors said I was going to die. Through therapy and a miracle, I can now say that I am a three year survivor! :) I have written a book about it and wanted to tell you about this it. You can find it on Amazon, it is called Cancer With God. It has writings from my children and husband on how they felt during my cancer, my entire fight with cancer, the miracle and what God did with me during the year after. This book is meant to give hope and take away fear. Cancer is evil and this type of cancer is embarassing. We are in this together, as cancer has reached into our lives and is now here to stay. My body may be cancer free, but my heart will never forget. ~Terri Terrils Sun, 22 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT Your are courageous!  The corresponding gift of the Holy Spirit is Fortitude.  What type of cancer were you diagnosed with?Do you know about Merkel Cell masquerading as a Batholin's abscess?I just spent a tortuous hour yesterday having my R gland probed, marsupialized, etc.  It was not an abscess, or any type of cycst.  The doc was well versed and named off all the cycsts.  She is concerned it is cancer.  The lidocaine did not numb because the tissue is so inflamed.  So, it was grin and bear it.  However, she did get some good samples to biopsy.I understand age is a risk factor and I am 59.  Do you know any more?Thank you and God bless you for your marvelous walk with God.Carolyn Brady Fri, 21 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT
