Cutting out the cancer

I am no physician, that's for sure. But I have personally watched someone being eaten away at, and die from cancer.

It's scary.

A person with cancer can become a completely different person in such a short amount of time.

The cancer eats them alive, if they don't catch it soon enough.

With modern technology, there are many tests in place that can detect cancer before it gets too bad. And when it is caught early enough, a skilled surgeon can cut it out, giving that person the best chance for survival.

Through some serious introspection, I have discovered some cancers in myself. (Not real cancer, emotional/spiritual cancers, whatever you want to call it.) And I need to cut them out of my life.

Just like any surgical procedure, it takes planning, preparation and the area needs to be cleaned before the cancer can be cut out.

Once the surgeon and the patient are prepared, the cutting begins.

Even if a cancer is caught early, it still has attached itself to the person, and takes some effort to cut it away from the patient's body.

After it has been removed, the patient will need time to heal. And the healing won't be instant. But the healing will come.

And then, without the cancer eating at them, the person will have a renewed sense of health, strength, vitality.

Without the cancer, they are are now whole.

I need to be whole again.




PS: About the Letters to Teresa, I have decided I will post a few, rather than open them all up to the public. So look forward to those in the next couple of days.
