Hi Friend,
I am on your same journey. I was diagnosed in stage 3c at age 39 when my children were 6,8, and 11. I have been a Christian since childhood. I have come to understand as an adult that my relationship with the Lord is the result of his pursuing me, not the reverse. I truly feel that these circumstances have come through His hands and His message to me is, "This doesn't look good, but it is for good. These circumstances provide a ladder for you to come higher and go deeper to see my love and faithfulness." I have truly seen them in ways I never would have had the opportunity to otherwise. His still small voice has ministered to me in miraculous ways. If you want the details, just e-mail me.
