Tonight Bob, myself, our nieces and Jean Jean were visiting a family member who was admitted to a hospital near our house. We didn’t know that she was there until late this afternoon. Actually this person is the wife of my cousin. This cousin is kind of close to Bob because he was the person that stood in at the Church for our wedding as the “Dad” of Bob. I guess she’s been in the hospital for nearly a week now. She was hospitalized because she just had her surgery today for breast cancer. I was even surprised that she had surgery because she already told the family when she was diagnosed 2 years ago that she would never want to undergo a surgery. I’m glad she changed her mind though so that at least she can be saved if ever.
When we got to the hospital my cousin wasn’t there. He went home to the farm to tend to their businesses. He will be back tomorrow. Hopefully we can go back tomorrow to see him. Anyway, his wife when I first met her she must have weigh like 150lbs, when I saw her tonight she might just weigh like 90lbs or less. She didn’t look good too. She told us tonight that she felt like vomiting, it could be from medication. Really at the time that she was diagnose 2 years ago if she would have agreed to the doctor to remove the lump in her breast she could have been better now. At that time when my cousin or some member of the family would mention to her to go to the doctor for check up she will get upset and tell everybody to not be telling her because she knows what to do and its her body. So when I saw her during the funeral of my Aunt(her mother-in-law) I never mention anything about her sickness. I could see at that time that shes losing weight and she looks different. I think really her grandkids are the one that makes her want to live now. I hope its not too late for her. Her daughter told me tonight that the doctor said that there is still more cancer inside. They are not sure if she wants to go through more surgery again, though.
I really hope that she can still be here for awhile to enjoy watching her grandkids and adopted kid grow up. I hope she won’t give up easy. I hope she’s as strong as before when her and my cousin has problem in their marriage life she didn’t give up, hopefully she can do the same now. She’s just in her late 40’s. She’s too young still to go away.
Just pray for her recovery!
Hi Feyma,Sorry to hear about this bad news,i wish her a speedy recovery.It just goes to show the importance of taking early medical advice.Medical science is so advanced now, that most illness treated early,even if not curable,can successfully be controlled.Regards Chas.
Sure, we will pray for her fast recovery…
Be encouraged, Feyma! I will contact my prayer warriors!
Hi CHAS – Yeah, not much sickness nowadays can't be cured. I really wished she had faith before with the medicine thats in the market. Now its getting too late for her.
Anyway thank you for the thought.
Hi Klaus Doring – Thank you so much for the prayer. I appreciate very much!
Hi Ed Griffin – Thank you very much for the prayer. Highly appreciated… God bless!
Hi Feyma, when I read this story I was touched because I remember my Aunt who live in Cebu who died from breast cancer last year. She was my guardian when I went to college at University of Cebu before I move to Hawaii. She was in her early 40s and never married. She always make sure I eat and she was the first person who took me to Jollibee. She is my favorite Auntie.
When I got married last 2005 she flew to our wedding at Davao with her head covered with a hat. She was full of life when I last saw her, smiling and laughing a lot. I did not expect her to die because my Moms sister survive from breast cancer. I went back to Davao last Dec. 2006 and it was the third time that I bought her plane ticket to Davao because she wanted to see me and our relatives. Then I got a call from my brother last year summer time telling me that Auntie was in oxygen already and the cancer was already spreading to her bones. My brother said that Auntie will wait for me before she goes to heaven. I dont have the guts to call her because Im afraid I might cry and feel so sorry for her. I just text her that I can go home on May but I wasnt able to keep that promise because of financial problem. My auntie's sister who live in Australia really spend a lot for her to get better but I guess its Gods will and we cant control her life.
I hope its not too late for your relative to get rid of this deadly illness. I understand that if you take things for granted in the beginning, it will make things worse in the future. My mom and sister always have a yearly check up or mamogram because breast cancer runs in our family.
So please be advice to all women to undergo check up esp. if one of your family have breast cancer. My patients two daugthers are breast cancer survivors so they told me how to overcome it. The best way is to take care of it earlier before its too late and see your Dr. even if you dont feel any pain of lump on your breast.
🙁
I'm so sorry to hear that….We'll help praying her recovery…Hope she's getting well soon! sally and family
Hi Feyma, I am so very sorry to hear that news. I understand the situation and pray for you all. Try to be strong for each other.
Miss you all and love to you all.
Hi Jeff – You really had a nice Aunt there. At least she knows you care for her by letting her come see you every time you visit Davao. I'm sure she understands the circumstances for you not to visit her when she got ill.
Thank you for the good advice to all women out there to have mamogram every year. I'm guilty on that I didn't have check up for awhile now. I have to go to my doctor one of this days.
Thanks again!
Hi Sally – Thank you so much for the good thought. I really appreciate that. Take care!
Hi Steve – Thank you so much. We miss you a lot already. I heard your enjoying your stay there? Thats good for you. It's just that I really miss our time to cook here. Really I understand if you stay there for awhile. Just stay away from the bad weather there though. 😉
Take care my dear friend and miss you. With our love, FROM Feyma & family…
Hi Feyma,
A Healing Prayer I wrote and wish to share for those closest to her- if it would not offend them.
By the Powers of the Great Mother, I, (your name), call upon the Divine Healer within my spirit, all my strength and all my will, to relieve this beautiful being from any discomfort or disease. Guide every sense in my being to help me what I need to do. Hear now my plea, Beloved Spirit of Healing! I implore you to heal this person from any sufferings!
Thank You, and So Shall It Be!
Hi MarcelinaWW – Thank you so much for the prayer. I will pass it along to my cousin.
Thank you again!
Dear Feyma,
Our prayers are with yours and Bob. I just know that in the foxholes of life, when all is against us, God is there to uplift and inspire us. Faith means never giving up. It is by faith that we often see love. Yur work in the Philippines giving a virtual home to expats and their families is truly appreciated
