Before I had chemo, those images would have frightened me, probably would've made me sick. Now, they remind me of how fragile life is, and even more, they show me that God is always right by our side, helping us traverse along the rough roads of life. We are never alone.<br /><br />Your strength is like a rock.<br /><br />Hang in there, friend, for I am praying for you!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16176657544444239191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533321100407775030.post-8291248199642329882010-03-14T13:13:33.455-05:002010-03-14T13:13:33.455-05:00Great post.

I think the first time around is our chance to do everything wrong and stress out over cancer. But the second time, we get the privilege of learning from our experience and handling it better. The hair loss is tough no matter what. The its the attitude that counts and gets us through the days.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607559482363983911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533321100407775030.post-34110519949293318672010-03-13T16:06:44.466-06:002010-03-13T16:06:44.466-06:00Chemo is never easy, and I'm sorry you have to...Chemo is never easy, and I'm sorry you have to go through it again, but thankful that you don't go through it alone, but with Jesus by your side. <br />Everyday is such a gift.

It still shocks me stupid how a simple series of pictures makes my own chemo experience uncomfortably 'real'. (Isn't that stupid?) Reading your post prompted my own memories of chemo, and WhiteStone? I gotta say, chemo is tough stuff. I am sorry that you have to do it all again. I am sorry about the hair. I'm sorry about the benedryl. I am glad that I found you, though.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533321100407775030.post-57087903295889636892010-03-13T07:41:25.872-06:002010-03-13T07:41:25.872-06:00Praise the Lord!
