Though I am only in my 20's, I try not to watch the news much anymore, because it can seem like a horror movie come to life. Especially recently. I read about a man who threw his almost newborn baby over a bridge onto a highway. The baby died on impact, but also got ran over by a car. I a...

Monday, January 28, 2008 at 10:04 PMDearest Natalia,
Here's to the angels like you fighting cancer. You are in my prayers, and now in my heart. Keep that beautiful attitude, and your blanket of comfort God has provided you. It's not how long we live-but how we live that matters.
God bless you and keep you

Received your comment today. Was glad to hear from you.
Have to confess-- I know of the blanket because I too have one.
I'm fighting breast cancer also. Was diagnosed in Aug. 07.
I was just browsing the Internet and came across your story. I'am a mother of four,two stepchildren and just had a new grandbaby two months ago. It was my number 20!!!!
Reading about you touched me so much I had to sit and cry for the way I was feeling sorry for myself and the pain of that day.
God has given me many years and many blessings . But he shook me up when I came across your story.
So you truly are and Angel, Thank you for helping me get back on track. Keep your blanket tight lil one!!!

Waking up to you

Monday, January 28, 2008 at 10:06 PMNatalia, you are so young and already so wise. How many of us just sleep through life? Thank you for giving all of us this much needed wake up call. Today, you inspired me to pick up my dusty old book of poems and read Wordsworth again: "Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind."

Friday, February 01, 2008 at 12:34 AMThank you, I have been thinking about adoption...even though they told me that they would never give someone like me with my condition a child. Its always worth a try though??

Things can change...

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 05:10 PMDear Natalia,
Just yesterday I had a visit from my friend, Luane and her 6 year old daughter Rachel. Ten years ago Luane was in treatment for metastatic breast cancer and had to accept that she would not bear children. Finally, after treatment ended, she and her husband decided to adopt, but her oncologist would not write a letter in support of this, saying that, even though she had no evidence of disease, he didn't believe she would live to raise a child. But SHE believed and she has still had no evidence of disease for almost a decade. And she is Rachel's very proud adoptive mother.
You can do it too, Natalia. I'll be praying for you.
Love from a 14 year survivor (twice),
Pat

Friday, February 01, 2008 at 12:37 AMHey Pat, you know what you said has really made me think. It has given me so much hope. You never know what my future has in store. I may be cancer free in a few years and I can still be in time to have kids or maybe able to adopt, even though they said I coudn't. You have given me new hopes though and I do wish for that day that they say im cancer free...that would be awesome. Thank you for sharing that story with me, it really has me thinking.
