3. How I wish I could stay
How I wish I could stay here in WA. Feeling so down right now...
Could not come up with money for June 10th with the limited disability money which literally sustains my body, other than charity soup kitchens and donations. And even though I keep trying to sell my stored lamp, coffee maker, microwave and other stuff; since homeless for almost 2 years anyways after loosing everything to this cancer journey. And there is no one else to borough from the few friends left, even though one was being so supportive in letting me use their internet to make a go of this...
As a depleted and scarred cancer Spartan, this attempting to 'live' again makes me 'get' why so many simply slip away. With no home to call my own, both parents gone and no mate; it seems almost impossible to feel it matters. Yet, that is one thing I am sure without a doubt: It all / we matter! Please send a prayer my way. Will miss you all... Really thought I had found my new beginning here. Still in faith, Elizabeth

Ok, so you are receiving chemoterapy, wath I can advice you from my experience is:
1.- Do not get depressed (yea, sure, easy to do..., well, try not to, because if you do so your body weakens)
2.-Watch your diet: lots of green, like brocoli for example. Modern medicine do not give the credit to rigth nutrition, but it is essential, do not give trash to your body. If you have, or someone can borrow you a juice mixer, that will help a lot. Put a lot of vegetables (green stuff), not that much fruit.
3.- Have a goal to live, wath are you going to do after defeating cancer. Define it and visualize it.
There is a battle going on in your body, and chemoterapy helps, but at the same time weakens your body, so you got to mantain your mind and body healthy and strong.
Keep strong¡
I can only say what others have said. I've always loved this quote from Winston Churchill during the bleakest hours of world war 2. He said "Never, never, never, give up! May god bless you Elizabeth. I wish I could wave a magic wand and make things better for you. But, in the meantime...peace be with you ~ Randall
Thank you so very much Mr Randall... Your well wishes and life giving words = added strength. Much peace be with you and yours as well.
Dear Elizabeth, I feel your pain of leaving us and I only wish I could help you out in some way. I am sure you have learned a lot from your stay here, and I can only say BELIEVE. Believe in yourself, believe in the training, believe in life. Keep faith, and prepare your website for your comeback. In the meanwhile, write, write and write content! I wish you all the best. Marian
Yes MarianMartin... Why so hard not being able to stay premium. Was progressing you know? =/ Your words = added life. And yes! Believe, keep faith and writing... God 1st, I will. Ooh, happy tears. Thank you.
Elizabeth, I'm so sorry to hear....but, all I can say is there's always hope for better days. Take one day at a time and keep the faith that things will get better. You're a strong person for all you've been through already, I've seen so many in my family pass away from cancer. You've gotten through it though, when others haven't. Don't give up on yourself, you're still here on this earth for a reason.
I know it sounds easy for me to say, but that's the best I can do...wish I could be of more help...I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I'm hoping if you do have to leave WA for awhile, you'll find your way back again. Take care and God bless :)
Yes Freedomseekr.. I lost my mom, aunt, boss and best friend to it as well. Fighting for those who no longer can. It is a gladiator arena one could never really fully leave. Trying... Will keep going by the power of love all around and His strength; if at all according to their grander will. Appreciate your life giving blessings. May they return to you 10 fold! ="]
Yes feelfreelife. It will pass... That is what I keep telling my self for the past 5+ years. 2009 was a rough year for many, yet putting it mildly, it has been a barren, dark and deadly road for me all the way. No matter how successful, positive and independent I was as many are now... That year I was let go and evicted, then loosing two cars, another home, my relationship, 99.9 % of fam and friends to the devastation of breast and colon cancer aftermaths, being tied up at hosp and sent to a rehab center when close to death, with no one selfless and trustworthy, desiring to stop the 'bucket' and long-term 'love me' with work boots on >>> It is a miracle I am even here typing these words. Yes! All the more reason I have to believe my pain will be an echo to others no longer here &/or or preventing many from going through the same...

Hi Elizabeth, It's sad to read your pains and struggles. I am praying for you to have the courage and hope for a better tomorrow. Don't give up and count your blessings from God. Amen.
Your emphatetic words are very welcome and refreshing Mr Chong.
Thank you. Amen.
I believe in good... Will continue surviving as best as can, just as millions of others do and I have done for the past 5 years. Ironic how so many cancer patients / survivors go through, if not die first, through these unfair and seemingly unending and inhumane aftermaths when there are trillions of dollars floating around in our America and the world; and when all those "cancer organizations", pink bow parades and people, pocket millions of dollars in our name... And here we are, once law abidding hard working people, trashing about with no real or every day tangible help... So easy when it is easy. Uniting in prayers for all the forgotten, sick, elderly, survivors and lonely or misunderstood ones.
