October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, and we here at Beliefnet are doing our part to raise awareness, as well as to provide hope, comfort, and support for those coping with breast cancer and their loved ones.
Health editor Holly Rossi has started a topic in her journal called “Stories of Survival.” She’s collecting stories from members of our Beliefnet community. If you have a story of your own, or a story of a friend or relative, that you’d like to share, you can get started by clicking here.
Here are some more great Beliefnet offerings:

    I’ve been sitting here for a few minutes, thinking “Will I?”, “Won’t I?”
    It’s just that sometimes I get so tired of talking about my breast cancer, thinking about it, living it. One of my first thoughts soon after my diagnosis was that “I am not my cancer!” but at times it seems to consume your life. During certain treatments, your days are all scheduled around appointments, treatments, and tablets etc.
    What I wouldn’t give right now for a few days free of these. I know that the treatments will come to an end, and that I still – even at this time – have the opportunity to LIVE each day.
    Have there been blessings during the journey so far? Absolutely. Have there been frustrations, Absolutely. Like life I suppose.
    SO my prayes go to all those with breast cancer and to the sometimes forgotton ones who walk beside them on the journey. Carol

    I’ve think of my life as I struggle each day to pay the Bills that even
    some time the Bill is more than what my pay check.I saw myself living one day at a time,only God knows how I got throw some days.All i can say the road is ruff and tought and some day I’ll win the race.
    “The Almighty God is my provider and sustainer and without Him I could not be a tomarrow”,I will lift up my head onto the hills from wence commet my ‘HELP’, ‘my HELP’ commet from the LORD which made heaven and ‘Earth’there fore I will not worry,Iwill not fret,I will leave everythings in His hands. This is a journey i must finish! I am Absolutely doing my best and the LORD will do the rest.
    To us Povity is a crime ,but JESUS said the poor He has with Him always
    there fore i know the ‘LORD’is by my side in my daily walk.
    So my prayer goes to all who is walking the same walk as i do.
    GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND HAVE WONDERFUL DAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
