lost hubby 10-24-13 to cancer, emergency surgery on dog right after, lost horse to cancer, lost my 99 year old Aunt, now dog has cancer. Its starting to wear on me. My cousin, three good friends late stage cancer. What in the world is going on?? I have retreated to a 2nd home in Florida and am trying to start a new chapter in my life but it seems like its one thing after another. I am trusting God, praying things start getting better. I helped teach VBS ;last June on the roller coaster of life, I can't seem to get off, up and down every day. So much sadness on this site, such a help to share my feelings without people thinking I am crazy. I am attending a real upbeat church here which is helping me. Thanks for listening. God bless.

not sure how to ask this but is there something toxic I n the ground where you live? That seems like a lot of Cancer going around . Yes faith can see us through but hopefully you are not at risk. xoxo

Perhaps an extended stay in FL would be good for you. When I visited friends in FL, I also found a nice church to attend. That always helps!

Please try to take good care of yourself. God bless you, too.

So much at ones must be very difficult. Keep up your Faith; one thing at a time and Faith will make a difference...

I wondered too, water or air in Indianapolis, but vet said they are curing other diseases making cancer big killer. My cousin was from Michigan, one of my friends Wisconsin. My Aunt did not die of cancer. The vetsaid 50% of dogs over 10 get cancer, never knew that. My dog is 17 1/2. Just much, God is making us strong for a reason.

Have you got REAL guts - the courage to put your doggy down? It is the kindest thing you con do, but I know exactly how hard it is. Sorry indeed.

So much more than one person should have to endure at one time. You have my heartfelt sympathy and prayers for all you are going through.
