[...] At the top of the note are three letters: 9-1-1. Then a list of 6 names. This simple note is something that helped me keep my sanity and my heart intact during the last nine months of navigating through breast cancer. [...]

So I was good all the way through the post until I saw Teddys comment. Then I teared up. Wow. Love you Susy.

I can only say, may our Lord be glorified in your life! May He give you the strength as you fight this fight… that He has chosen to give to you. May He give you the peace as you wait on His will. May He receive the glory as we see how He answers prayer. I will be praying for you Mrs. Flory! Thank you for your honesty and your openness.

Susy,

We don’t know each other. I was directed to your page by your husband’s Aunt Eileen (we sing together). I am a breast cancer survivor of 2-1/2 years. I had bi-lateral mastectomies, reconstruction and chemo. I was diagnosed at the age of 45.

Prior to surgery I was terrified. Three Christian ladies gathered together, laid hands on me and prayed over me – and the fear was GONE; a sense of peace had taken it’s place. I highly recommend letting others pray over you.

I will definitely be praying for you. The only “advice” I have is to be “present” and allow the people around you to love you. Just soak it in. And write your book – if nothing more it will be totally cathartic for you. I created a scrapbook covering the first year of my cancer journey. It helped me continue to see all the wonderful things in my life.

I wish you the very, very best. And if there is anything I can possibly do for you to help you through this journey – please don’t hesitate to ask.

Humbly yours – Tina

Susy,

You are a phenomenal woman and I am so inspired by you. I hope you choose to write about your journey because I know God will carry you through and HE will be glorified through your testimony of faith.

I’ve been thinking of you since reading a few of your Facebook posts. We’ll send prayers your way. I know too many women with breast cancer. Worked on the medical team (patching feet) at the October Breast Cancer Three Day in SF and had a great experience. Would love to get together for lunch. Let me know.

Wow, Susy, I didn’t know. You are a strong woman to be able to cope with this and continue doing all the things you normally do. However you decide to write about your experience will be as unique as you are. Will be praying for you as you go through chemo.

Susy, I didn’t know about this, since you haven’t written about it and the only way I know you is through Facebook. My mom survived breast cancer (then died of pancreatic cancer years later, but that’s another story), I have two friends currently going through the mastectomy/chemo/radiation/ reconstruction battle and several other friends who are survivors. I’m sorry you’re having to go through it, but looking forward to reading what you learn. I’m going to share your blog with my friends in the battle.
