Why. . .
Why does it seem to be that I am surrounded by breast cancer??? Most of my really close friends have been affected in some manner. Most recently my friend Jeni, her mom was diagnosed today with breast cancer. It seems as though the women I know diagnosed with breast cancer are strong women of God. Does that mean that these strong women have raised their children to be strong as well to be able to handle what it takes to go through a situation like this?? All the treatments and the waiting and pain that comes along with it. . . I am not sure what I would do if anything ever happened to my mom. I am so close to her (some may say too close) that I am not sure what I would do or how I would react. I mean I know that she is going to Heaven but I will miss that connection with my mom and being able to talk to her all the time and when I am scared and I call her in the middle of the night so I don't wake Bryan up, that will all be gone one day. :( Just things I ponder a lot and I wish my mom took better care of herself, like going to the doctor when something doesn't seem right. Well, on that note I suppose I will stop this lovely ramble. Have a good night!

1 in 8 that's why! Actually some say 1 in 7 in parts of Southern CA! Those numbers are for the general population, not including people with a family history! The two biggest risk factors for breast cancer are being a woman and growing older (yes, men can get it, too, but those are statistically the big two). It is a huge problem, a problem that needs to be addressed, a problem that many don't give a second thought to until someone in their own family is diagnosed. Really I feel the same about any and all types of cancer it just seems as though with ratios of 1 in 8 or 1 in 7 for breast cancer it IS everywhere.
Praying so hard for Jeni's family and for all affected!
isn't is amazing how things happen to such good people? I always wonder why. But, I know that God only gives us trials that we can handle and that with our faith in him, we can get through anything.
I hope your friends Mom can heal and get better.
