Cancer isn’t pretty…
..but the people who go through cancer (both the patient and the caregiver) are beautiful and have their own story to tell. This page is for those who want to connect with others on Team C and share their journey.

Philippians 4: 6-7 has always meant a lot to me and gotten me through some difficult times in my life such as the summers of 2018 and 2019 when I had several lumpectomies because of having pre-cancerous masses in both breasts.

It was my first Christmas after chemo and my hair was just starting to grow back. I was so happy to see my new grandson and squeezed him so tight, that I felt like the little guy’s eyes were going to pop out!

I was reading a book by Dr. David Jeremiah titled The God You May Not Know. I read this (page 85) with Chemo flowing into my system.
“Someone has fashioned all the days of your life in advance – all the days fashioned for you. Who has done that? The eternal God. That gives us confidence in tomorrow because, as the old saying goes, “We don’t know what the future holds, but we know who holds the future, and we know He holds our hand.”
The British preacher Charles Spurgeon said: “Whatever occurs around us, we need not be alarmed. We are immortal until our work is done. And amidst infectious or contagious diseases, if we are called to go there, we may sit as easily as though in balmy air. It is not ours to preserve our life by neglecting what He would have us to do. Unto God belong the issues from death. We may, therefore, go without temerity into any danger where duty calls us.”
