Journal entry by Shannon Bowen

It’s been 4 years since my breast cancer dx.  I became a member of a club I did not want to join. No one ever wants to join. But I have met people of incredible faith, strength, and hope. 

The anxiety has very slowly faded into the background. It’s still there, some days more than others. 

For every reason, I have to focus on the moment. If I dwell on the past, the anxiety and fear creep back in. I am a childhood cancer survivor, a recent breast cancer survivor, and I was diagnosed with MS in January of 2021. Sometimes I live like I’m waiting for the next thing…

Most of the time, I am able to breathe my way back to the moment I am in. 

I am so blessed to have been carried through this by your prayers. I feel those prayers like little hugs. 

Things are good. Hope heals. 

In His grip,
Shannon
