Cancer And Lupus And MeOhMi!!! Mood
Friday, May 30, 2008 | A Tragic story

I am so upset.  I have been having such a hard time lately with the lupus.  The doctor says I'm in one of the worst lupus flare ups of my life.  I am having problems with really bad neuropathy in my right thigh--it's like constant pins and needles, very sharp needles, that is.  Now they think I may have skin cancer on my scalp.  The doctor's office (the dermatologist, I mean) called and told me that the preliminary findings were in, but that they were sending them back for a second growth.  They did this with my pastor years ago during his battle with skin cancer, and his went into lymphoma.  The waiting is torture.  I am also trying to recover from a bout of pneumonia.  I feel bad all the time and wish so badly I wasn't sick.  Why did all this have to happen to me?  I think that's what all of us here feel.  Why did this have to happen to me?

    Whenever i get down and start questing "why me"? I tell myself that god has chosen me because i am strong enough to deal with day after day and still live my life for him. I have been a positive influence for many friends, as i am sure you have, because instead of cursing god on the days that are really bad i praise and thank him that every day is not that bad, and that i can still have my vision, my voice, my arms, my legs, I always believe their are individuals out there who have it worse. People see my positive attitude and my doctors believe that it has helped my flairs. I know its hard to think like that but you have to believe and have faith that God knows what he is doing and that he has a plan. I will keep you in my prayers.
