When it’s hard to trust God.

The love of my life, my fiance had a breast cancer diagnosis. In denial I have hoped for the best and pray for her daily. Her name is Shelby and I would appreciate all prayers for her healing.
Unfortunately the cancer has spread to her sternum (bones). As I’m learning about all of this, I think that’s called metastatic breast cancer and it’s incurable.
I broke down this morning when hearing this news about it spreading to her bones. I have faith to the level that has enabled me to encourage her.
It’s harder to encourage anyone, even myself as it spreads. Seems like cancer wants to take your hope as it takes your life.
I would greatly appreciate prayers for Shelby, I don’t know what else to do. God bless y’all.

I appreciate you and all of the prayers. Just really tough trying to be strong for her when I’m breaking inside.

Don't give up hope.
My wife was in a similar situation. She had surgery and 6 months of chemo. The cancer has been in remission ever since.
She was diagnosed in 1989.
And treatment for cancer is much better today than it was 35 years ago.
Hope and faith are important. For you and for her.

Thank you brother.

I’m sorry. I honestly don’t even know what to say.

It's okay to cry. You should.
It is Metastatic. There's incredible foundation that was purely focused on Metastatic Cancer in Northwest Arkansas promoted 2 women who were incredible in the awareness of this. Kelli Davis and Lisa Quinn. Kelli lived about 10 years with MBC and Lisa about 7-8. They documented it all. The good and the bad. (It may not have started here, not sure, but they did an amazing job promoting it)
Metavivor
Kelli Davis
Hug her, love her, and make the most of the time.
Kelli was huge about not using "sports talk" and victim shaming using words like "winning the battle" She loathed Susan G Komen and all of the "Pink washing"
And she would pounce on people claiming "there's miracles every day." She grew frustrated with people not understanding the difference between a stand alone cancer and one that as spread. You'll hear that a lot and she would be enraged by people who would compare the two. (Similar to how many people don't realize type 1 and 2 diabetes are very different)
What I learned from them is there's virutally zero research on stage 4 cancer. Their numbers they report are only on a 5 year span.

Prayers to you both. So sorry. I remember a few sermons/homilies growing up where the pastors went into detail about how they questioned God throughout their life in situations and reminded those in attendance that even Jesus asked ""God, why have you forsaken me"" on the cross. I have experienced this too. Again, prayers sent your way. Hang in buddy.

There are women with metastatic breast cancer 10-20 years out and still alive and well
It all depends on histology/receptor status

You and Shelby and those that love her have my prayers.
I know at times like this you're looking for answers or something to make sense trust me you never find an answer and none of it makes sense. But there is some solace at least for me in some simple justice and understanding that that's just being human.
And for those that find some sort of sense of things in life I envy them.
I can tell you that I've not found any of it that makes sense through similar situations.But there is peace in the fact that one day the answers will be made available to me and at that time I just simply won't care because there's something that comes after this, and I hold out hope in that simple active faith and confidence that it will all be revealed will bring a peace.
But until then you have the prayers and the love of all those who read this because I know of the humanity in this place and the goodness of the people so they will be here for you
God bless
