Pink Story: Stress Effects

On October 25th I had my first cancer dream, that’s pretty incredible considering this had been on my mind for over a month.  I was standing in line at the grocery store and a lady bought my groceries for me.  They cost $138.  (Why that number?  I don’t know.)  Somebody in my dream was talking about all the faults and messiness that come with the surgery.  They were relaying the horror stories.  I don’t know where any of it came from, I hadn't had any of those thoughts while I was awake.  I woke up feeling miserable.  

October 26, 2012 (journal entry)
I wrote: Can I really do this?  Can I really be strong enough to endure surgery, radiation, be a wife and mother, a friend and successful teacher?
I heard: “You can’t, but in Me you can.”

The initial stress of all this turned my cold into pneumonia.  Once the pneumonia began to subside I acquired 3 cold sores. (I always get cold sores during stressful times.)  On the outside I am calm, but this stress is obviously affecting me and my body refuses to conceal it.
