Shannon’s story: hope for ovarian cancer survivors

The last couple of months, quite a few people have contacted me through this site to share their stories. I really wish I could fit them into my book, but I’m determined to meet my editor’s deadline and finish it finally. Who knows, I may do a sequel with more stories!
Shannon Wood, age 30,was diagnosed with stage IIIC [...]



“God talked to me twice.”

As some of you may have noticed, I’m not posting as frequently. I’ve been out of town a lot and now I’m on deadline to get my manuscript finished for my book, From Incurable to Incredible: Cancer Survivors Who Beat the Odds.
The good news is that I’m going to have more Miracle Survivor stories to share [...]



Fulfilling one’s destiny

I had an interesting comment on Saturday’s post, Taking the “my” out of cancer. The visitor related how she was not afraid of cancer being a death sentence because of her spiritual beliefs that we are going to a better place.
I certainly know that we all are going to die someday, and I also believe [...]



Taking the “my” out of cancer

As you may or may not have noticed, I gave myself a Christmas break from my blog to spend this special time with my family. It’s been mellow, but nice.
This week, I started a healing support group at my church, New Thought Unity Center. My hope is that it will be a place where like-minded people can share spiritual [...]



Unstoppable and uncontainable

Is this a message? Copyright Andy Dooley.

I draw my spiritual resources from many places. I was raised Jewish (more cultural than religious), but I go to Unity on Sundays and follow Joel Osteen’s TV program and books. My Grandma Shirley would be rolling in her grave if she knew.
Hey, it works for me! What I [...]



“A healing miracle from God”

Denny and Theresa Seewer

Denny Seewer and his wife Theresa, live in a small town called St. Marys, my husband Mike’s hometown. We’re heading to St. Marys for Thanksgiving, so I thought it would be a perfect time to share this Miracle Survivor’s story.
Back in 1975, Denny was young husband and father of a baby boy. He [...]



News on the scan front, expecting miracles

I just received a call from oncologist with my PET scan results. As I suspected, the chemo is not working. The good news is that it was only a small progression (.1 centimeter), and yes it was in that pesky lymph node under my arm.
Luckily, I spent some quality time yesterday with myself and God. [...]



Another scan, another lesson

I’m posting this early in the morning before my busy day. I get my PET scan today, then I’m off to my Healthy Steps class and a quick bite to eat with my friend Nevine, who I’ve mentioned in previous posts.
I want to thank everyone who has supported me as I deal with anxiety about [...]



Prosperity: it’s not all about money

Today was a gorgeous Indian summer day, so my husband, daughter and her friend piled in the car to a beautiful state park. Looking over the awesome gorge with sun speckling the water below, I thanked God for this day and the healing that nature brings.
Nature, purpose, connection with others … I am grateful for [...]



The Law of Attraction, 12-Steps and Cancer: How do they all fit?

Spoiler alert: deep stuff ahead! I share my blog posts on Facebook and often get some interesting comments from them. My friend Terry, who goes to my church, sent me this yesterday:
I have really been enjoying reading your blog, even though I don’t have cancer issues. I am wondering about something and would like your [...]
