I believe that one of the hardest parts of this whole experience was telling our children! We still didn't know many details and didn't want them to associate my cancer with my dad's. Shaun and I prayed that we would say the right thing and that we would be strong enough to let them know that everything would be o.k. Many tears were shed that night as we sat them down and listened to their concerns and questions. They are amazingly tough kids and we knew that we were going to be blessed and comforted throughout the next several months. My whole life revolves around Shaun and my children and my love and concern for them has never been so strong.

I am so glad to "hear" from you on here. I think about you often and pray for you too. Hope things are going okay. Please keep writing your story here. I love to hear it. I love you, Lis
Thanks for the update Alicia. I have been thinking about you a lot since I heard the news from Shannon. Joseph just had surgery in February to remove a tumor in his kidney that was cancer. It is a very scarry thing and a very scarry word. Stay positive. My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer 1 1/2 years ago. She is doing well now. If you want someone to talk to I can give you her email/phone #. Just email me if you want it. kamberdent@yahoo.com
