Here is an interesting story of a lovely young women who a has terminal brain cancer such as what I was diagnosed with  2.8 years  ago. I too had a very short window of life expectancy as well.

My writing today is not to confront her on her choice but rather to try and see where it comes from.I understand that she does not want to suffer, who does?

Watch the video link below and I will pick up on my thoughts and feelings afterward.

Okay, after watching this beautiful womens video I think that she is personally a very brave person. I wonder where her faith lies, or if that is part of her life.

Having been in the same seat that she is currently in ,I will say this God ‘s peace and healing was given to me during this time. I am around 2.7 or so years out from my diagnosis day and feel great.

In my case where there is life, there is hope. And when our personal hope for quality of life ends than I will still hope for a beautiful eternal life with Christ.

When I first heard those words inoperable Gleo Blastoma Multiforme grade 4. I was not deterred from doing anything that could potentially safe my life. I said okay lets see what they can do with this, God’s got it.

I got as she  mentioned very large from the steriod and had all of the meds,chemo and radiation etc. So, I understand that on a personal level. That pain is not fun.

Suffering :

My faith has tought me that suffering has a purpose, I do not like it either and I am sure Jesus did not relish his crusifiction either. But his sacrafice was for us to learn and  to be saved.

I have learned during my journey here and witnessed people on their death beds and what they are dealing with. I have seen the effects on their families too. I have seen families and relationship healed and years of crap was gone. I saw children and families grow in strength through the process and I have seen the ill person, calm as they came closer because they too were healing their minds and souls. They accepted the situation. We all go through it, thats for sure.

What ever sufferings that I have had are brought to the cross and my graces I offer up for others. I will offer up mine for Brittany and family as well.
