A Time for Tenacity

Well, I choose a wig this week which was a very strangely surreal experience. My hair has started to fall out.  Not in chunks, but just thinning like. Experts tell me that day 17 is when it starts. I am day18/19. Feeling teary about the whole thing. Even though I thought I was okay with it. Some part of us always thinks it won't happen to us. 

This whole cancer thing is surreal because in my age category this is a very rare form of cancer. Did some more research. Everyone says don't google, but I want to know. My curiosity gene gets the best of me and I prefer to deal with things in the light of understanding. 

In my favour against daunting stats is:

1. Prayer. We believe in healing

2.Strength that has come from God through the support of so many family members and friends. 

3.My younger age than most diagnosed with this form of cancer.

4. My will to survive and see my children grow up. God made me tenacious. I will put this quality to good use in the coming months. 

So pray harder for us dear friends because we are wading into some deep waters and taking us before the throne is precious to us. 

Love, Lee
