If you are a woman, certainly this story will wake you interest, which is one of the thousands of cases that are around you. If you are a man, certainly you should know about this story so you will be more sensitive with your mother, grandmother, sister, girlfriend or with your wife.

She decided to talk right on the eve of Easter which is a period of soul retreats, when we are called to raise prayers, when we need to be better with the others and more with the sadness one who are near us, sick, angry, stressed or simply those who need our support.

When I entered the room from the Institute of Oncology, I saw a woman about 60 years old, who was in the bed groaning because of pain and asking me to get closer. With an extinguished voice she implored not to reveal her name because she does not want that her friends and acquaintances to know about ordeal through she is passing by, about the fact that she is close to the margin of the grave...  she reached a moment which is close to the death.

Two years ago she discovered by chance a breast node that was diagnosed by doctors as cancer at the mammary gland; breast was removed and she was able to overcome this suffering, trough the loving husband, children and grandchildren. Following a complex treatment, apparently escaped the deadly disease. She felt good a period, she had energy and she lived the life full.

The happiness lasted until last October when she began suffering from backache, osteoporosis symptoms and disc pains... displacement. The doctor prescribed some medicines and also massages which did not help her at all; her condition became worse. Following the investigations, she found out that actually, breast tumor has developed multiple bone metastasis.

She was taken to hospital in the arms of her desperate husband who had lost all hope in the healing of his wife. “It never passed trough my mind that I will get into that. Of course, this disease is related to genotype but also of anyone’s character. All my life I had officials. It is well know that if you are seen well and deserve better, of course you also have many enemies. You are useful to “our” man only as long as you are someone in society. If do not represent anything anymore, they betray.

I was a combative person for something beautiful. I sacrificed in the truly meaning of the word. Too late I realized that in this life the charity is not important, especially for a sensitive woman.”, confessed to me the poor woman, being forced to swallow bit of red wine. Friends, colleagues... no one know her pain. She was a perfectionist, generous with everyone but she consumes the heart too much for each failure and frustration. Now she does not want to burden her friends with her suffering.

There is only family beside her. “Let us defend the psychological climate, positive thinking, to forgive and let us not revenge. Let’s us not upset on anyone, to accept people as they are, for that surely is one God. Everyone has the right to fail and to help him. You won’t change the world but you can pray for a stranger.” Our friend is a strong woman and never gave up hope, love and faith. If two months ago she needed help walking, now she walks alone. Above all, prayers to the Lord put her on her feet and after that, treatments.
