I had a woman who i fell completely in love with. We had picked an engagement ring out and planned a wedding. She left me shortly after my diagnosis of stage 4 colon cancer. I still see her once in a while at church, but she won't talk to me. She has OCD and is deathly afraid of chemo. I want her back in my life. How?

Dealing with a relationship ending during such a challenging health journey can feel overwhelming, and it's completely understandable to be hurting right now. While it's natural to want to reconnect, focusing on building a strong support network around you - whether through this community, other friends, family, or counseling - can be incredibly valuable as you navigate both your treatment and emotional healing.

Her true colors have shown. A godly woman is a woman who can walk with you and God through any hardship.

You are a church man. Keep your eyes on the Cross where Jesus died. He will send the right person.

I think she has told you clearly how she feels so please let it go. You want someone who wants, needs and desires you. You are dealing with Cancer but it doesn’t define you. There is someone out there for you. You deserve better. 🤗🦋

We are talking again. However, they're giving up on me at the VA. Im going for a second opinion tomorrow at the Cleveland clinic. 🤞🙏
