Such a sad story. This girl could still be alive and fighting for her life and giving other people hope!

Lord, help her.

I have a dear friend who has been fighting cancer for 8 years. She’s now 36. She has truly fought, and fought hard. When first diagnosed she was sent to a top notch cancer treatment center and they told her they could treat it but not remove it. And that it will crop up again sometime, somewhere. And it has. Every time they zap one place, it’s in another. Pancreas, intestines, liver, lungs. They’ve done everything, mulitple surgeries, radiation, radiation seeds, ports, chemo, more chemo, experiental chemo, meds...

There is no dignity in having to have your friends or husband wipe your rear end. No dignity in adult diapers. There is no hope in being doped up to the eyeballs and still writhing in pain. Not one of us wants to see her die and yet none of us want to see her live like this. If we truly submitted to ‘God’s will’, none of us would take chemo or radiation or blood pressure meds or monitor our cholesterol or aspirin therapy. Or surgery.

She is dying, she isn’t giving anyone hope (which is a huge burden to place on a dying woman anyway, as if God decided to cause her a huge amount of pain to teach the rest of us something) and the only thing that all the treatments have done is prolong her death. In the beginning, she felt she had to do everything she could but now she just wants to rest. In peace. It’s a mean spirited person who thinks that is wrong of her.
