There was a book out several years ago by a woman fighting cancer. I can't remember her name for the life of me but the book is called:
First you Cry.

That's been my experience when anyone I know has cancer. I know when dad was diagnosed, I expected him to keel over any second. So, you cry. Then you realize as long as there is life, there is hope. You know that, ok, I have a disease that can be very very bad but it can also be cured. Then you start fighting back. We are going to be right here fighting with you. I fully expect you to kick that cancer's butt so bad it will never even consider coming back.

So cry when you need to. You need to get that out.
Know we are here and we love you and prayer is the most powerful force in the universe. I know for a fact, heaven's prayer lines are glowing from the heat of all the calls they are receiving on your behalf.

Remember: we are all here for you.
