Rebecca Scott
breast cancer
stage one

I was very young, age 29, I felt like I was holding my breath for 3 years and always fearful each time I got a mammogram. I learn that good things come in time. The more time or the worse the battle, the better outcome.  I fear cancer so much, then at the age of 53 I was hit by a car walking. I think it prepared me in how to cope with long-term problems, and keep going.  The car accident was more upsetting to me and more painful.  In fact, I thought I had been through a lot. I wasted many years thinking it would return, rather than just letting it go. Once you are out of the woods, let it go. I never felt sorry for myself, but the car accident I did and that was worse than breast cancer or the accident. Feeling sorry for yourself leads to many more problems.  God has a plan for all of us.  We must trust him. It’s hard when you are facing so many hard times, but the great thing is you are alive. I was afraid of death, but no longer. I saw the white light, and God's face in the clouds, he has the most shinning blue eyes, there is nothing to fear. God showed himself to me. I never believe anything unless I see it. So, he showed me and spoke to me under the car.  He is real, and fear nothing for he loves you, you will be alright in his world or earth. Breast cancer to a women has so many facet's of grief, but put the horror of the news aside, and understand that cancer may not kill you, something else will, it is the fear of death. Why be so afraid? You have the time to be near loved ones, rest, and eat well....and maybe the time to say goodbye, under the car I had no one, and maybe no time to say goodbye. I have been blessed two times.  I had to learn to walk again, and kept my work and purpose in life my main goal. I am not finished as yet. I shall put fear behind me, has long as it takes. Your dreams are riding on angel wings, and when they are broken dreams, the wings will touch down the earth with new ones in your heart.
