Nice thread.

3 things come immediate to my mind:

1. While in a fog and on the River of Denile, I asked my bs if I can wait until after Christmas to have my mx. (I was dx at Thanksgiving). He said, "You need to understand that you have cancer." I got off the boat quickly! I am thankful for his comment.

2. Before my chemo ended, my onc told me to see the RO b/c it might be recommended that I have rads. I was all whiney about it. My sister said, "If I were you, I'd let them give me everything they have." I stopped whining and went through rads when it was recommended.

3. THE MOST IMPORTANT WORDS that still get me through this comes from Girl Scouts: Courage, Confidence, and Character. We teach girls to have these qualities to make the world a better place. My daughter wrote them all over the house for me.

1. You ahve a great personality

2. You have bunches of love

Kids know just what to say don't they.

While I was going through treatment, my sister called  to tell me that my 4 year old nephew was saying his nightly prayers and he said that he prayed for the owie on my boobie.  He told his momma that Jesus was going to make it all better."

A co-worker said, "You are one tough woman."

edited to add that this meant a lot to me because that was what I was desperately trying to be.
