close friends, almost like a daughter since she is a very caring person and also loves crafts. in 2006 she developed Breast Cancer, Stage I, later on spread to her lungs, a year later to her liver and glands, one more year, her spine and now, it is all over, she has been to lots of treatments, including trials, Today doctor told her that she has no more than six months to live, she is only 44, has a 9 years old son and a very caring loving husband. When a friend call me today somehow I knew what the conversation was going to be about, I was in shock. I knew it could happen, but this is too soon, she has so much to do yet, I am happy for her because when doctors told her she could not have children she did, and she is a wonderful mother, I hope doctors could find a way to help her. All I can do is pray for her and her family and I hope you do too.Thanks.

I am so very sorry. It is so hard to see someone you love be given such heartbreaking news. Don't count the passing days. Instead make as many wonderful memories for you, for her, her son and her husband. These will be the treasures that will make the time bearable.

Maria, We never seem to know the whys & wherefores. The only comforting thing is I know God is in charge. He has a reason & I must not question. She is so young like you say & has been a good friend & I know you have been a good friend to her. Prayers have already been said & requests made for her, her fmly & you my friend. She will need all the support you can give her so I've asked God to give you the grace & knowlegdge & words of comfort for her & her family that you will need. God has already wrought a miracle in her life when he gave her this precious son so we know He has a hand on her. God Bless/Lillian

Maria I'm so sorry your friend is going through this dreadful illness. I will lift her up in prayer as well as her family and friends that care so much for her. As Terre has said so well for those who believe in the Lord they will be much better off when He takes them home to be with Him. For those that are left to cope with their loss they also need to lean on Him. His ways are not our ways so we can't understand so many things that happen in our lives, but God will work good out of all things according to His will and purpose for our lives. Being their for her will be a blessing for her and you. There will be many prayers going up for them from this wonderful group of people on this site, and others also. God bless, Judy

Maria, We will do that. You have come to the right place for prayer. I'm a cancer survivor of 33+ yrs now. I was 6 months pregnant with my son when they discovered it. But God was merciful and has allowed me to live and I know the reason now, it was to get my life right with Him. If anything happened to me now I KNOW where I will spend my life eternally. As a friend you need to be supportive, but most of all you need to make sure she knows there is a better life waiting for her, if she knows the ABC's of a Christian life... A-Accept, B-Believe, C-Confess. We are all sinners, but through Christ we can be saved. This is very important to all, but especially to someone that have been given a time limit. Unfortunately we never know when God will call us, but no matter what, we HAVE to be ready when He does. We can never understand His reasons and plans, but just know that they are far better than ours will ever be. I will pray for her son and husband also. I hope I don't sound like I'm preaching, but when I hear about others like this, I have a burden to make sure they understand I want them to make it to heaven... I know you have been a wonderful friend to her and making sure she is spiritually ready will be an added blessing. Love, Hugs, and Prayers. Terre

Thanks, I had Breast Cancer in 2007, have lots of problems due to the surgery, but hey...no cancer at this time. The doctor had told me that more likely this cancer will return in a few months...God only knows!!!***Thanks.
