A friend sent me the following words yesterday and another has offered to make me some cuts from the Pink Journey cart and I'm going to put it in a frame as a reminder of the strength that you all have given me.
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love.
It cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith.
It cannot eat away peace.
It cannot destroy confidence.
It cannot kill friendship.
It cannot shut out memories.
It cannot silence courage.
It cannot reduce eternal life.
It cannot quench the Spirit.
The way I figure it, Cancer is not good for much of anything so I am best to just get rid of it. Before I start getting around here to get ready to go, I wanted to stop in and thank you all so much for the prayers and uplifting messages and converstations. They have meant a lot to me. Today the tears have came full force and have gone as quickly as they came. My faith and prayers are consistent and true. This will be over soon and I'll be back on here posting and creating as soon as I possibly can. I will be thinking of all of the wonderful hugs I have received from far and wide today and those thoughts and the love of my family and friends will get me through this.
Oh Yeah... What are they thinking making me go without coffee for so long... ewwwww! It ain't gonna be pretty! First thing I'm asking for when I'm done with surgery - is COFFEE!!!!

My prayer for you today is that the surgeons hands be accurate and swift and the medical team be so well trained that you are safe. Hugs.
Thoughts and prayers are with you. Keeping a positive attitude will help get you through the dark times. I am a 6-year survivor, and life is great now.

Bren...keeping you in thoughts and prayers. So thankful that this huge part of your battle is almost behind you. I am picturing you now...sitting in your hospital bed with one of those "lovely" hospital gowns on and a huge cup of steaming hot coffee in your hand as you think about what your next crafting project will be!
Bren sending you ((((Hugs))))) and keeping you in my thoughts today. You are one of my favorite people on the message boards. I know God will help you fight hard and heal well!
My prayers are with you! I want to give you hope in a couple of facts. My mother is a survivor over 20 years now, a cousin 10 years and my grandmother lived over 30 years after her surgery and died of old age. None of their cancers returned and they all had masectomies. Life went on and I really think they cherish each moment more. Yes their is hope and there is life and there is joy and healing. I hope this encourages you as your body is now entering the healing stage. You are a BEAUTIFUL woman and thank you for sharing your journey.
Hopefully you are in recovery by now Brenda. You've been on my mind all day long.
Thinking about you and praying for you!
Brenda, warrior woman with a heart of gold, you are my beloved friend and hero.
Love you so much,
Anne
