Dawn, thank you so much for sharing your sisters story, it is what I needed to hear. Very encouraging and inspiring. She is very brave. I am so happy she is in her third year of being cancer free. Charles is absolutely the #1 most positive person I know. I think attitude makes a huge difference and they both have a great one. I don't know how they do it.
The scariest part was seeing him break down and cry when he found out it is cancer. He seemed defeated, but thank God for his family. His wife has been amazing helping him regain the use of his fingers after developing paralysis post-op, dealing with all the insurance stuff, and staying positive around him. If anyone can beat cancer, its this guy. Really. He put a pic on Facebook today of him wearing a shirt that says "F%CK Cancer!". Excuse the language, but I think its good. He is determined to beat this.
We all really appreciate the encouragement. I texted him and his mama the URL to this thread so he can see how people are praying for him. He said every single night when he is laying in bed he gets on and reads the tweets and comments people leave him to help him be at peace and it really touches his heart. So thank you everyone who left a comment for Charles.
