myWarmWishes

Usually I try to post about encouragement or supportive information around cancer topics and awareness, but I recently saw an item on QVC that I wished I had seen when my mom was bald and battling.

It's a large soft hood with a scarf attached, which is nice because it is separate from a coat or jacket, and still stylish and easy to wear and use. Not only would this product be helpful during chilly, windy, or freezing outdoor weather, but also for cozying up inside with a blanket or robe. In addition, the hood is big and loose, if a tight-knit cap or beanie isn't desirable.

I remember through several loved ones how quickly they would go through cold and hot spells during cancer treatment or recovery. This hood/scarf would be a handy solution. If any of you have used this item or something similar, please feel free to post your experience.

Thinking of yourCancerStory...warmest wishes!

Climbing through some challenges in my life recently I was offered support from the book of Romans. I've learned that dealing with cancer comes with obvious and surprising trials to the physical, and particularly emotional well-being. Remember dealing with cancer does not only refer to the cancer patient, but to the loved ones who offer help, hope, and support to the patient. There are many aspects of a Cancer Story and my prayer is that this passage helps as you journey through your cancer path.

"Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand and we exult in the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us." ~Romans 5: 1-5
