I was 50 when I was diagnosed with leukemia, so I came to accept the possibility of dying from it. There were times during my treatment when I honestly wished that I would die. Through all this my trust in God and his providence helped me. I am not afraid about what is on the other side of death, but the dying process makes me apprehensive, since I don’t know how that will look for me.

I have recovered from leukemia and am back to working full time until I qualify for Medicare. Both my husband and I always worked on putting money into our 401k, but we still don’t know how well we are prepared. There are so many things that could drain our savings in a heartbeat. My leukemia costs were astronomical! But I also trust that God will provide and take care of us. At this point I focus on working hard and living to the fullest.
