I love books. Almost every two weeks I go to the library and search for something new and interesting to read. My favorites are nonfiction books with interesting titles. Last week I found very good book:” The right words at the right time” by Marlo Thomas. The book is a collection of the true life stories, how the right words said at the right time changed peoples life.
And this book bring me back in time to that awful day, when I was diagnosed with cancer and I want to tell you how one nurses words saved my live.
After the doctor told me, that I have a golf ball size tumor in the middle of my chest, I was sure that I’m going to die very soon. The doctor said, that I should stay in the hospital for more test, and with the radiation and chemo therapy they can probably kill or shrink the tumor. But I didn’t believe, that I can be cured, I just want to go home and die peacefully on my couch. So the doctor left me alone in the cold room.
I was stoned, paralyzed by the thoughts of the horrible future.
And than the nurse come in to my room, shoved some stuff around, than come to me, look into my eyes and said those exact words: “You know, every day some seek people are getting cured, and some healthy are dying”. And she left the room. And I was amazed how right she was. And I know, that those words saved my life. Thank you nurse (or Angel?), you planted the seed of hope in my mind!
So when the doctor come again to my room about 10 minutes later, I was ready to listen to the doctors orders. And I was able to make plans for the near future about what I can do, how I can help myself to get strong and win this battle. And today, over two years later, I’m still strong and winning.

You have a lovely blog! I have learned so much, just from the few posts that you have done. I also read that you don’t speak English well – that may be true, but the English that you use, and your words and way of expressing yourself is very beautiful. You are an inspiration – I hope you keep blogging!
How beautiful!
Sounds as though you are truly living no matter the diagnosis. Blessings~ Dan
your story really touched my heart. wish you all the best!
thank you for liking my post, I would never have found your story otherwise. There is a book you might enjoy… it is called Reading by Moonlight: How books saved a life. Written by Brenda Walker… she survived breast cancer and she coped by reading books… it is her story of survival, so beautifully written, but she delves into so many other inspirational writers and writing. You might like it, or it may hurt too much. Either way, I feel I must let you know. Blessings and I look forward to reading more of your story.
Angels among us, when we are open to hear the voice of an Angel! Stay Strong!

I just found your blog today and I think it is great. We have lost so many people in our family to cancer it unreal when thinking about it. We just lost a a good friend last year to cancer. It has been a horrible experience watching what they have all went threw. I am so glad you are doing so good. I will pray that you stay strong and healthy and it don’t return.

Hi oneanna65. I have heard it said mind over matter that powerful will of thought and pray can make such a difference! Thank you so much for liking my poem Tracey! Peace and Best wishes. The Foureyed Poet.
It is one person or a few words, or many a times a sight or a thought that flashes through your mind – that gives you hope when everything else looks hopeless.
