I want you to know I am praying for strength and wisdom as you navigate this difficult passage of time. There truly is a peace that passes understanding, and with God central in all you do, He will provide all you need, but I think you already know this. Peace to you.aBellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-20124918243721298862017-06-13T06:12:06.460-04:002017-06-13T06:12:06.460-04:00Prayed for you when I awoke in the night.

The cancer was all inside, but was almost halfway through the uterine wall. I have a couple more tests to make sure it is gone for good. Praying for you and your husband. Hope you have a good outcome too. My Mom had stage 4 inflammatory breast cancer 18 yrs ago. She is a walking miracle at 78 yrs old.
