Patient They gave me 1-2 years

I’m devastated. In 2023 I finished treatment for stage 3 breast cancer. I did everything: double mastectomy, radiation, chemo, etc.

Today I found out it’s in my bones, liver, and lungs.

I have an 8 month old baby girl.

I can’t believe this.

If I were a loving god, I would cure you, or at the very least let someone take your place, and I would be willing to do that for you as well. I will hope for just that.

I’ve never understood why we have to suffer, I’m sorry, but I just can’t grasp the thought of allowing a young mother whose little girl isn’t even a year old suffer like this. I was willing to give my life for my country when I joined the Army, and I’m willing to give my life for you young lady. I can only hope he’s listening, I will never be able to come to terms with this.

You're my hero! Thank you for your service and thank you for your self-sacrificing generosity. Your post is one of the most beautiful I've read anywhere and I will keep it and read it and treasure it. The following quote fits you.

"The greatest want of the world is men-men who will not be bought or sold; men who in their inmost souls are true and honest; men who do not fear to call sin my it's right name; men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole: men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall".
