You've heard people say that you should try to find something good in a bad experience. Sometimes very difficult task to be undertaken, in most cases it seems almost impossible. Then, ever so often, keep a light on, and we are right directly in "something good". Before you even know what happened, to make the most of the cards you are dealt. It can be seen a couple of looks in the second place, this wonderful gift of a terrible tragedy, you havesurvived.
But if your eyes are open, the world is at your feet again. My little survival of the neuroendocrine cells of the cervix is a miracle in itself because it is so rare, aggressive and poor prognosis. But, to be used to put the gift I received from my diagnosis, my talents, is the largest and most beautiful thing that could ever come from this bad experience.
In my last article titled "My survival of small cell cervical cancer," Itouches on a few things began to happen after my diagnosis and subsequent recovery and forgiveness. I'm actually free of cancer is a terrible disease that most of the time, he takes his victims to the grave. Cancer-free is just a great thing that came to SCCC survived, but what has happened in the last 6 months of my life is even greater.
I started more than me in May 2008, the feeling more than a year after the end of my treatment. But I hadworked at some time the children were older and had more self-sufficient, not only by age but by the circumstances of their lives. I did not know what to do with me. I had no idea which direction to take. But I knew that God has not for me "no" reason. Yes, I think I was spared .... blessed, if you want. Do not get me wrong, I have to work .... but never alone. Even though I knew that something was expected of me, I had no idea what. I felt isolated and alone, but by the rarity ofDisease and why anyone connect with the name, I had heard anyone in my circle really understands how much I was struggling with this idea. I think he fell into a sort of depression. I did not do anything. I felt better after treatment, but I had to deal with a variety of other problems. I had infections in the body that would not go away. Every time I left home, I took a sort of bug and days with his head in the toilet. I was weak and tired and my state of mindConfusion and memory loss only added depth to the fear that I will not do anything before this cancer came back and beat me down. I was not very happy. I was stuck in a new place.
One day I opened my e-mail and it was a messagel an unknown person. She had on board was a message of cancer. He also had been SCCC and surviving cancer-free for more than a year. This led me to my feet in an instant. There was anothersurvive as I will not return. I could not believe it and I was fascinated. I replied again. We clicked immediately. Although we had a very different lifestyle, we were very similar in personality. Sometimes I would read their e-mail at night and cry. I would like the fact that I was not alone in this cry. I always had my family and friends and never really alone, but she was different. It 'been for me in ways no one could ever be connected. Her name is MelanieCummings (Mel) and I knew it would be in my life forever. We quickly realized that we were both together for a greater goal, we started brainstorming.
There were a few sites on the Internet, which provided the opportunity to participate in message boards, or look for a pen pal, the situation than you can match that was fighting the same cancer o. But everyone is required to register their personal data and all necessary waiting periods. The boards aredo not allow the exchange of personal e-mail, so that this difficult for others to connect to an intimate level done. Although we realize that these sites had taken precautions to protect their users from fraud, we also believed that people were in our circumstances are looking for immediate answers to their important and ever-growing need to find answers and support. We thought that maybe were not so many people use and satisfaction of these websites have studied, becausethe waiting time or the lack of intimacy, such as the fight against cancer is very intimate. So we decided to create a website design for this exact purpose. Streamline the process, requiring only a name, a description of their situation and what they need in terms of support or information. We would like to match these other people have written and have been in our database. We do not require any personal information and felt the response time for people looking into our situation. Webuilt the site and called "Cancer Comrades" cancercomrades.com.
Since its inception, we have received emails from people in the United States and Canada and Great Britain. We read the stories of survival from cancer of many types of information and hearing from friends and relatives of diagnosed type their worries and sadness and need support e. The site has taken on a life of its own and gave us a lot of people we were ableto help. The other day I was thrilled to find an e-mail that you expect from a woman in New York, SCCC had just cancer treatment and was free. Now, three! Before this site I had been alone and now I had 2 beautiful women with a common ground. Not someone to sit around and wallow in our diagnosis, but "brothers in arms" to come to our side and fight that. There is also a SCCC given and cervical cancer of all kinds a voice and a placebe heard.
When I read back through this book I wrote, I see many good things from this a bad thing, and I am truly blessed. I always say, "I plan a positive force while still on this earth." I think I'm on my way. I found my purpose beyond the obvious, a good mother, loving wife and good person. I do what I loved to do the talent. Use to treat my voice, my words and my art. Medicine is one way, but the comfort, support and encouragementis another way to heal.
Mel and I intend to keep them in business. We intend to take our message to the public and we are also involved in fundraising for cancer cure for all SCCC and uterine cancer. There are no limits, our abilities and is always strong. But remember, no matter what they have suffered the tragedy ... no matter how low life you can .... there is always something good in something bad. Thanks for reading.
