I know this may sound crazy but I am not sure how I came across you but I had a patient who came into my dental office who has a fast growing cancer, her third time in three years, in different areas. No treatment if they suspect it is in other places now. She is only 46. I definitely and going to share your website with her. I hope you don’t mind! Hugs from a stranger but someone who is going to pray as soon as I sign off.

Jennifer, I have never heard or read anything written from the point of view of a cancer survivor that was anything like this. It is absolutely beautiful and so completely brave. There is not a bit of pretense, or woe-is-me, or drama in it. It is so clear and true. It leaves me speechless and full of admiration for not only surviving this awful disease but for sharing such a deep part of your soul.

Thank you.

You have so beautifully expressed your feelings of this battle you are in and incredibly brave for posting it for all to see. So many of have feelings that go left unshared, if only it is with our closest loved ones. I am the stepmother of two girls whose mother died when they were 6 and 9. To say the least, it has been a difficult road for all of us in attempting to be a “family.” The one thing that they seem to desire the most (and what was missing) is knowing what their mother thought about things or what she would have told them about dating, love, sex, religion or just a message of love on their birthdays or holidays. My uncle who passed at the age of 45 leaving behind two young boys wrote them cards and long letters about these things and others to be opened at the right time (such as graduation from high school or getting married or getting a drivers license). You seem to have such a gift for putting your feelings and thoughts into just the right words and perhaps this would be a meaningful way of sharing a piece of you with your children forever. Although I say this, it is my wish that you will be able to hand your children these written treasures yourself instead of your husband. May you continue to fight your fight and know that you are surrounded by prayers of so many.

Wishing you peace of mind. I’m another mother whose child had cancer – advanced liver cancer after spending 2 years in the ICU for being so premature. When you’re faced with something like this, suddenly the meaningless things fall by the wayside and you’re given such clarity. For me the worrying has never ceased as my daughter has several serious medical conditions and if I ever start to forget that…something brings it back into focus. Now, as I also struggle to take care of my mother who is seriously ill, I just have to keep telling myself to concentrate on what’s important – the fact that I’m blessed to still have them in my life and to try to live in the moment – enjoy my daughter’s guffaw or my mother’s little smile and widened eyes above the ventilator tube. Your family is so blessed to have you, and you them. It’s what keeps us going. Someday I’ll get that beautiful chandelier I bought from you in NJ hung up and will think of you everytime it sparkles. Peace my friend.
