I don’t know how many of you believe in signs or omens or what ever you want to call them but I do. I go to the hospital every Monday for my blood draw and the last 2 Mondays have had these occurrences. Week before last the hubby and I were sitting in a crowded waiting room and a man wheeled over to me out of all these ppl and said well I don’t have to come back. My cancer is completely gone. How great is that. I did not know him and never have I seen him before. Then this past Monday hubby and I were just sitting in the waiting room and I see this woman clear across this very large waiting room staring at me and for no reason came over to me and said don’t ever give up I don’t have to come back anymore I’m cured. I asked her how long she had been treated for and she said 3 years.

Now am I making to much out of this or what? I am now waiting for a third person to approach me with her news of healing

I have been in treatment since Nov. but only starting my 4th round of Ibrance because I kept getting sick in between the Ibrance.

So what do u think?

HOPE! thank you, I think it is great what you have experienced, people being healed and not having to come back! I think it means something too, people sharing hope and their good news! God bless you and heal us all in Jesus name, amen!

Great. I believe in what I refer to as silent messages. That's messages given to us through others that are from God. There are no accidents or mistakes only lessons. This is my belief.

Greetings: Sister/Warrior you have a close connection to Lord/God. It is called discernment. You don't just speak to God, you listen for the reply. You wait to hear the answers to what God wants you to know, or do. This can be difficult for some people who can't tune out, or turn off the world of constant things that take our focus of of our Comforter, Helper/Healer, Intercessor,Strengthener,and Teacher. CHRIST. Celebrate this Happy Resurrection Day, and yes everyday we are still here to share joy with our loved ones. Amen. XoXoXoXo

Godbeforme in reply to mariootsi

you're welcome! I think it is normal to feel sad sometimes battling this monster. I know I cried several times yesterday, and I hate anti-depressants. My question is, isn't it normal to be sad about this diagnosis? I know I feel like this isn't supposed to happen to me; this isn't fair; what the hell? all kinds of reactions and God is big enough to handle them all. I still believe when I am weak, He is strong and that He has my back no matter what it looks like. I think we get PTSD with this diagnosis; we all know we're going to die someday but this starts the hour glass with the sand running, etc. I know that is dramatic, but I think it is true, and it is a normal human reaction. Are we not supposed to be sad when told we have this dreaded disease? It is a normal response to me and I will fight it with the spirit of God and I will "put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness" like the bible says. When I am praising Him, darkness and depression has to leave; but sometimes I stay and wallow a while, that's on me. I thank God for all the Christian tv stations, my personal favorite is the hillsong channel, and you can get your worship on anytime day or night. I have LITERALLY felt like a weight lifted off my head before while worshiping, not even knowing I was carrying it! God bless you and heal us all in Jesus name, amen! <3

Amen! I also believe it is ptsd- an extremely traumatic event has happened to us.

Your comparison to an hourglass really says it all!

I watch TBN every morning and most days it lifts my burden but this week I guess I have just been feeling sorry for myself.

The effexor my onc gave me makes me feel weird so I'm not taking it. So, It's up to me to stop the sad thought s and depression with prayers and God!

Some days are tougher than others. I wake up exhausted and have to force my self to get up!!! It's just a constant struggle and I have to be strong.

This site is so helpful to me! You guys get it!!! Thank you!

Yesterday and today have been warm enough to walk on the beach across the street Thank God! I go stir crazy in the house all day! No car!

Godbeforme profile image
Godbeforme in reply to mariootsi

I can't wait until I can go walking again, I, too, have a beach in my life! what a stress reliever that is! it's about a mile away, the gulf of mexico ... I fell and broke my femur in January and it is maljoined, so I want the bone to heal more before I walk much on it, even though the ortho said it looked good and I could walk, I am being extra careful. I tried anti-depressants a few times when I was going through the change of life, and they always made me feel weird too. God bless the people who can take them and feel better, I am not anti- anything that helps someone. I watch TBN too; but Hillsong stole my heart because it's so many thousands of young people praising God, it just does something to me to see the young coming to Christ in droves, YAY God's not dead he's surely alive, He's living on the inside and roaring like a Lion! stole that from the song. okay well I could ramble on all day but I just wanted to tell you I appreciate the support and talking with you. God bless you and heal us ALL in Jesus name, amen!

Greetings: Sister/warrior When challenges come, and they will call on the mighty name of Jehova Rapha, the name that brings healing, and restoration. During these challenging times don't forget to give God praise/ honor. I am praying for joy to come in the morning God speed. XoXoXoXo

Barbteeth in reply to Toomanyquestions

It’s not stupid depression...it’s normal...you’ve just had a horrible diagnosis..I’ve been there as you know and it’s almost a year since my diagnosis and it takes time to emerge from the black hole...I’m getting better now but still cry sometimes but not every day

You will feel better..did you ditch the citalopram?..can’t remember

I did but then I went back to the 10mg. Don’t think it’s doing much to help x

Barbteeth profile image
Barbteeth in reply to Toomanyquestions

Hmm we’re all different but I stuck them out for 7 weeks..felt awful lost weight looked vile

I feel so much better after stopping and several people have commented on how well I look!!

I think you should maybe try them for 4 weeks and if no better then see your GP..the whole point of taking them is to make you feel better

Chin up

Thank you. I pray every day for God to rid my body of this cancer and tumors and I have asked that he would show me that he’s listening to me. I know he listens but when you have ppl come up to you in a crowded room to give you these messages you are shocked. I shouldn’t be though because I have great faith in God.

I think you are right. I believe in messages too.

I broke my ankle and was in the orthopedic office waiting room last week. A woman I have never seen before came through and looked at me and said, you are so pretty. She went out came back in to wheel her father out and looked at me again and said see how we care. So I thought that was strange. Felt weird all week like someone was giving me a message. The next week sitting in same waiting room another strange woman told me I was pretty and take care.

Now believe me I am 73 and ok looking but I felt confused. Then I said to my husband who was with me both times, that I felt like his mother was was with us. His mother died at 95 but she would always tell me when she stayed with us that I was so pretty.

So yes I believe that we receive messages in strange ways.

My first reaction is “were you waiting in the mental health patient area?” But that’s just me. I’d just think of it as people wanting to make you feel better. That’s all. Nice story to share. Thank you.

I'm a believer! If it's important to you and you feel it in your heart, then it's true for you. I have little synchronicities frequently and I feel they are blessings and grace bestowed.

I think if that’s the thoughts/feelings you got, it’s your intuition or higher power talking to you. I believe in signs. I have “God moments” a lot. xo

I don’t believe in coincidences. There is a saying that if two or more people say the same thing the message is clearly for you.

You reminded me of a book called, "When God Winks." I think there are a few messages here. Stay positive and miracles do happen are two of them! When somedays of your journey seem tough, remember these two people and their comments which they shared.
