As you may remember, September 7, 2007 was Mighty Oak's 'One Year Cancerversary' and I planned a nice 4 day getaway in New Hampshire to celebrate the time we did not think we would have. I was so proud of him beating the prognosis' that were given to him in the beginning.

One of my friends, ahhhh...a breast cancer survivor herself.....could not grasp the fact that we were celebrating him getting cancer. Hello...not celebrating someone getting cancer Sweetie....celebrating LIFE!! After I thought about her noncompassionate comments I realized something. She could never come to this site or other sites, she does not want to learn about cancer because she is so afraid of it. She is not even in charge of her own treatment plans, she relies on the doctors judgement and I do not want to even tell you those horror stories. Her fears have kept her clueless. I was hurt at first because who better to understand than a breast cancer patient??? I now pray for her in a special way so she may conquer her fears so she may continue to conquer breast cancer!!

No Darling, not everyone understands but we do. I am going to take a moment tonight to rejoice in your news. Never let anyone rob you of the reasons you fight this fight!! You are a Hero in my book Chelee and you inspire us all here. Keep up the great fight and celebrate with all you have. My wishes for many many more years Dear friend!! Lots of Love and Prayers>>Believe51

PS: Jean let me know if you need more comments for the book, I have many here too!! ROTFL!! Love to you!
