Out of the mouth of babes!

I believe that laughter and the pure and sweet innocence of our children are the best medicine there is.

I am 44 years old. I have 5 children that range from 26 years old down to 6 years old. I was recently diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer.

I have a very strong relationship and faith in the Lord. He has promised healing in this and I believe that. However, the flesh is fighting for its life and has been trying to make believe otherwise. As I approach the start of my treatment journey, anxiety has started to creep in. Oh what a devil it has been, especially late at night.

This past Wednesday night after church service I asked my pastor and his wife to pray with me. His wife was praying with someone else first, so me, the girls, and Pastor waited in the lobby for her. When Pastor first walked up to us, my 6 year old, Abby, looked at him and said, with a very sweet and enthusiastic voice, "They're going to cut my mom's boobies off!" 😳😂🤣

I about freaking lost it, Pastor's face was priceless! He said, "Well, let's just get right to it!" Then all we could do was laugh for a few minutes. Then, it was awkward for a minute until we started talking about everything.

Now when anxiety starts to set in, I think about that and die laughing all over again!!! 🤣

I hope this makes you laugh!!

Hi Kristy @ksolo79

That's a cute story! It sounds like you've been very open with the kids to prepare them and help them deal with it all in a strong and healthy manner. I'm glad you are able to keep your sense of humor going about it all. I know humor always helps me cope with everything.

My brothers and I have all dealt with cancer and continually made jokes about it all (my mother wasn't amused). My first brother to be diagnosed with cancer was the real Seinfeld of the family so I knew he'd want me to keep it light. I sent him an e-mail saying, "...I'll do whatever I can to help you. I do have an extra kidney that is yours if you ever need it. Full disclosure, it comes with a kidney stone already in it." He wrote back and said, "I want the good one!" My other brother was copied and told me the exchange made him burst out laughing. That was 20 years ago and it still makes me laugh to this day. 🙂

Blessings to you on your BC journey.
