Diagnosed
Oh No
When I was told I was not feeling really sick, yes I had emergency surgery, but I thought It was Just for a perferated bowel. I thought I had bowel problems. And low-and -behold it was lymphoma in my bowel. What a shock! When the doctor told me when I was alone. When they left me, I sat their for a moment and said," I got Cancer, Now what do I do?" I called my Husband and told him to come in soon, and called my kids and asked them to come in soon. They all got their within 30 mins. and I told them. they where blown away. Right before they got their I Prayed to GOD, "LORD I PUT THIS IN YOUR HANDS." And I felt releaved. When I get sad I repeat this, again and again. Then I feel that releave again.
