Re: Struggling with divorce, cancer, chemo. Not sure how to survive. Very bad day!

Please, please, please do not lose your faith!! You are going through so much right now and it's easy to do but you will weather the storms. You are a warrior and warriors do not accept defeat! God and all of us are with you, stay strong, stay positive and focus on a new you - there is so much life to live and the fight can be tough but it's worth it in the end!

Prayers and hugs!

Jessica
