What could it be?

Sometimes when you are going through cancer or even post treatment, you will get these “things” that pop up and cause concern. These things can be a pain, a lump, an ache or just a general icky feeling. (Icky – that’s a technical term.)

It’s when these things pop up that our faith and strength are tested even more. Do I call the doctor? Do I get more bloodwork done or a CT scan? What if? What could it be? The questions begin to tumble around in our head.

At least it’s that way for me. Lately, I’ve experienced a strange pain in my hips that makes it hard to sit for any length of time. My head keeps going to fear-based thoughts, but my faith keeps cancelling those thoughts and reframing them to more positive, wellness-based, empowering thoughts. Other than this pain, I am feeling well. Maybe it’s a healing crisis from an old injury when I fell on the ice.

Either way, right now in this moment I release the fear, surrender to the moment knowing my life is in God’s hands. I choose faith, not fear. I choose health. My body is in a perfect state of health and harmony. And so it is.

Cancer Superheroes, what do you do in times of uncertainty? How do you pull yourself out of the fear? Do you call on a Higher Power to lift you up?
