Wednesday I was awaken to a FB message from my Sistah in the Journey. She informed me that her cancer came back but in another area. You see, we started this journey within the same month and year. Our journey led us to each other and we were able to give each other the heads up on various procedures. She had her surgery first and she was able to tell me what to expect when I have mine. I endured the chemotherapy first, so I was able to tell her what to expect. We both became cancer free around the same time. Not a full year of being free but this is the year we would celebrate that anniversary. Her message immediately got my attention. Though the possibilities of the cancer returning was on my mind but not something that took over my thoughts. My back and forth conversation with my Sistah that morning, brought me back to reality. Each day is a fight for my life. Every thing I do, affects my longevity on this earth. I can't relax thinking it would never happen to me. I must be proactive when it comes to my health. I'm thankful my Sistah was proactive. They caught it early, so she started Chemotherapy this past Friday. We both know the power of God and faith. That's why our smiles make s the Devil mad.
Three hours after hearing about my Sistah, a friend sent me a message about her sister. Through that conversation I found out that her sister has been cancer free for one year and now her cancer is back in several places. 'WOW' was all I could say about my day and the news I was receiving. The beautiful thing about that conversation was that my friend told me about her sister's faith and positive thinking. I had to smile because again, she was making the devil mad. Her sister is now my Sistah in the Journey. I realize that we are strong black women and we never give up. Both of my sistahs are in my prayers. I know God has their back. So the journey continues!
