Hi everyone, I do not have breast cancer myself, but I do have a friend that does. I am currently doing some research on breast cancer patients, and in which aspects spirituality or religion has helped them through their illness (or if it has at all) i.E to cope better etc. I am interested in any views or opinions on this subject matter in particualr which aspects has being spiritual or religious helped and in which aspects it hasn't. I would be very greatful for any comments. Thank you

Spirituality During Cancer
I had a lumpectomy in 2000, a year of chemo and radiation said all was ok. January 2002 I had another lumpectomy and needed a bilateral mastectomy and tramflap surgery. No chemo after. Dr. Said they took all the lymph nodes and it still looked like stage 3. Within 8 mos I was in the hospital very sick. Could not breath, scans showed cancer spread in my lungs, lymph nodes in the chest, and in my spine.

Through all of my pain and sorrow, I find time to minister to those who don't have any strength to pray, and I will pray for them. God has always been on my side when I was well now he will see me through while I am sick. He could heal me at any moment, he does not so that I can understand what it is like for these chemo patients, their family and their Dr. I will be praying for your friend. Please pray for me.
