Please keep a friend of mine in your thoughts tomorrow [View all]

He is having surgery because of lung cancer tomorrow. My friend quit smoking eight years ago and is so depressed. He has made it through chemo. I am telling him the surgery is another battle he will win.

When I was going through treatment for breast cancer I thought then and still do that the people praying or sending positive vibes my way helped. My cancer didn't show up on mammograms and when I felt a tiny lump I went to the doctor. It turned out my right breast was all tumor.

We go through treatment together. My candles are lit every night for people fighting cancer and those who are no longer with us. It can't hurt and it may help.
