Thinking of you and hoping your first few days of chemotherapy are tolerable. I am praying today that you will experience God’s presence and Peace in the midst of this difficult path.

Thank you Carol. I am so encouraged and blessed by your thoughts and prayers. I do feel God is with me and carrying me through.

Hold His hand and you will meet each day with the strength and calm only He is able to give us. This is a disease that no one wants to hear diagnosed by their Dr. Having our Lord to rely on makes it bearable. Everyone’s prayers and caring comments will let you know you have friends and family in your corner…you need not feel alone. It sounds like you are heavily invested in your faith and in keeping a positive attitude. May God bless you!

Judi– Thank you for your lovely message and encouragement. I am holding on to the Lord’s mighty hand.

Thinking of you this a.m. And keeping you and the journey you are on in my prayers!
James5:13…Are any among you suffering? They should keep on praying about it. And those who have reason to be thankful should continually sing praises to the Lord. Wishing you a happy day!

Thanks so much Judi. I really appreciate your prayers and scripture reference. I have many reasons to be thankful and I am praising God for the strength He gives me everyday!!!

I am so sorry to hear your mom is battling cancer also. It is a difficult road. I will be praying for her and for you as you both journey together. I find much comfort in the Lord’s promises from His Word. I hope you do too.

Erin, The photo of rash on your hand linked me to this blog. I was diagnosed with breast cancer two months after you. I am having the same rash:)…Thanks for your posting. All my doctors told me what I have is not related to taxol, but I think you confirmed it is. Keep up the positive spirit. We will fight and win!!

Hi Sue,
I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis and and horrible rash. The doctor first said mine wasn’t related either, but then it got much worse eventually leading to a biopsy of my hand. It cleared up without any treatment but it sure was painful while it lasted! I will keep you in my prayers as we both stay strong in the battle. Thanks for the link to your blog!! I will come visit you 🙂

You are such an inspiration, Erin! It is so encouraging to read about your positive attitude and trust in God through this battle against cancer. A lot of my family and friends are battling or have battled cancer recently. I don’t always get to hear their feelings or reactions to their diagnosis or treatment, so thank you for opening up and sharing about your experiences. I hope that I am privileged enough to one day work as a therapist with clients and their families as they battle cancer. I look forward to this semester in your class and witnessing your healing!

Elyse,
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and for your encouraging comment. I feel so blessed to teach at Jessup and have the opportunity to connect with students. I’m sorry cancer has effected so many of your family. It is an aweful disease but I believe God is bigger than cancer and He has shown himself faithful as I walk through it. Please let me know if you have any questions about your path to becoming a therapist. I would be give you some guidance along the way. I am so glad you are in the class and look forward to getting to know you!
Blessings, Erin

Thanks for “liking” my post. Since International Psychology is dear to my heart, I had intended to leave a comment about that here, but I find you are in the middle of a very pressing battle. May you find the Lord to indeed be an “ever present help in time of trouble,” experiencing His strength and His healing for His glory.
Nov 20, 2012 @ 03:53:16
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and for your encouraging words. I am grateful for all that God is doing in my life through struggle. He has carried me every step of the way. He is truly the GOD of all comfort.

Greetings from Australia Erin,
I think what you are doing is absolutely fantastic. As a physiotherapist and photographer I have recently being contemplating studying counselling with the purpose of supporting Christian couples, because I strongly believe that the institution of marriage as a sacrament and family is the most important unit to preserve for the wellbeing of society and as a testament to non christians.
God bless you in every way
Jan 14, 2013 @ 00:45:32
Thank you, Konstantine!
I appreciate your warm comments and taking the time to stop by my blog. I’m humbled to be used by God to work and minister to couples and families. It is a passion and joy!
Many blessings to you~

Good morning Celeta~ Thank you for checking in. I keep telling myself to sit down and post something, but never make the time. I’m doing well,healthy, and remain cancer free. I just had my third surgery. This was only a minor correction of the reconstruction and I’m healing well. Blessings to you!

Wonderful news! I just love how God prepares us for trials! I recall being so inspired by your blog & rejoicing at your news of being cancer free…seeds planted in my heart to help steady me as I was diagnosed last fall. Praying for continued health!
