Sue you are eternally kind π€π€
That's hard- please try not to take it personally, you were doing everything you could to help her find some answers, a path forward, and some peace. She is scared, and often people lash out when they are scared. We can keep her in prayers that when she processes everything, she will move forward. I think she is getting there, I saw where she has now joined the chemotherapy group. Tight hugs!
@A MyBCTeam Member, may the Lord give peace to your heart today. You offered help in good faith, and sometimes when someone is frightened, they step away from those who are trying to support them. Please donβt carry this as a personal wound.
The Lord sees your intention, and He blesses every quiet act of compassion.
Lord, look kindly upon us especially Your daughter Mary who is deeply overwhelmed and frightened.
Her spirit is burdened and her path feels dark.
Please send her a moment of calm, a breath of relief,
and a small light to guide her through this very difficult time. Please hold her and her family gently and let her feel even a trace of Your nearness. Amen.
Keeping everyone in my prayers, that your kindness continues and everyone will be a light here.

Ladies, you are more incredible than you realize. You did your best and gave your all and I think you gave excellent advice. That's all you can do.
@A MyBCTeam Member I still see plenty of her posts under Groups in the surgery section and also in the Q & A section. I know at one time you did have the ability to delete your own post because I have done that when I answered a question but wrote my answer in the wrong post.
