Thomas. You are so right. I have MBC since 2024. And I am still here because of my Faith praise God and a caring oncologist who has me on the right meds and a caring spouse and family. I have tremendous anxiety about my next PET scan scheduled Wednesday because of a recent uptake in my markers. But I surrender to Jesus and I know he will see me through and heal me. Through the intercession of my Saints and Blessed Mother. Please pray for me and everyone in our community for continued healing and courage.

Dear Jane D, There’s a couple of things I would like to address with you about your post.. Let me start by explaining what I’ve learned over time.. I was raised by a devoted catholic family who daily prayed the rosary, to the Blessed Mother and even the stations of the cross.. I attended a catholic school when I was young and read the bible from cover to cover.. Some people may not agree with what I’m about to say but so be it.. From an early age I started questioning everything the church taught starting with not eating meat on Friday to that’s alright now you can eat meat on Friday.. Big red flag for me.. Along with so many other things.. But going by the words Written in Red no where is it written in the Good Book about praying to Our Blessed Mother or for that matter any other person or saint.. NO where is it written period, on this contrary the only prayer Our Lord told us to pray is the Our Father.. ❗️ Written in Red Jane.. Just like when I read your post I prayed to Our Lord for guidance and clarity to reply to you.. Here’s what I have to say; Jane Please release All of your anxiety and fears to Our Lord and Savior, forget about your doctors and family for the moment and concentrate on yourself.. I’m not saying to ignore them just put them aside for now.. From the moment you wake up till you lay down to sleep pray 🙏 to Jesus Christ and no one else Jane.. For he is ultimately the only one who can bring you peace comfort and healing.. He is the only one who can (as written in Red) can do the impossible and bring us to the Father in Heaven.. As He stated in the book of Revelations, Whoa unto the churches for I see what you do.. Keep that thought in your mind Jane when you pray.. I’m praying to Our Lord Jesus to give you strength wisdom and guidance from this day forward.. In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ I pray this for you Jane.. My God Bless you and heal you Amen Thomas

🙏

Amen 🙏

Thomas is correct. Direct connection to Jesus Christ gives us peace. I have been diagnosed with stage four invasive lobular cancer spread to the bones. I’m in maintenance not cure. Jesus is my all in all. He says the story is not over. All of us are on a journey, and I choose to take Jesus with me on my journey to help direct my path I have no fear that’s only a gift from God. My prayers are for each one of you brave Cancer warriors. There’s no disease like this. It wants to linger and capture you don’t let it. It does not have the final say your creator does.
