If you have not heard of the following documentary, "The Truth About Cancer", I would highly recommend it. The Lord has used a number of these individuals at different times in my life the past few years to help me address cancer.

What Do I Do Now?
The Big "C" Isn't Cancer
![]()
When I was first diagnosed with cancer, I was dumbfounded to say the least. I just really didn't expect it. I knew I had a lump, I could feel it. Yet you just don't expect to hear those words, "You have cancer."
The thing which struck me first & most was the thought of my children having to grow up without their mother. What was I going to tell them?
The next was coming face to face with my own mortality. Was I going to die? Why was I going to die? Wasn't there still a lot God was going to use me for? Had I completed my purpose in Him? Was I going to die before my time (it sure felt like it)?
No, the Big "C" for me wasn't cancer, it was CRISIS...as in a crisis of faith. Doubt poured in like a river and I felt lost; lost about why this was happening and lost about what to do next.
