From Stage Three To Cancer Free

When I was diagnosed last year with cancer of my breast
That was when my faith was really put to the test
For a while I just felt numb then reality kicked in
And the hardest trial I ever faced was about to begin
When I first met the oncologist she said it was stage three
Then she put a plan in motion that was custom made for me
I had six rounds of chemo and I lost all my hair
At times I wanted to give up as it seemed more than I could bear
But only by the grace of God and all who prayed for me
With surgery and radiation I am now cancer free
I pray that by me sharing this it gives hope to someone
To be still and let God fight for you for the battle has been won

My journey through breast cancer last year

Thank you Doug. As a matter of fact by the grace of God I am still cancer free and only have to see my surgeon once a year and my oncologist every 6 months. I'm so blessed! I just completed my 2nd poetry book called LIFE AFTER CANCER. My prayer has been and always will be that the words God gives me will inspire others. Thank you for your kind words. God bless you.

Good for you, Joye, and I hope things have gone well for you since you wrote this. I've got people in my family who've had breast cancer, my step-mother, cousin and grandmother.

what a wonderful uplifting write Joye it is so wonderful to hear your treatment has been successful and you are cancer free. I wrote my first poem when my hubby was undergoing cancer surgery in November 2013 - without writing I would never have got through the last few traumatic years:-) hugs Jan xx
