Inspirational book, "Consider it Pure Joy"
Jun 10 2008, 10:29 PM EDT "Consider it Pure Joy" chronicles the lessons learned through Kristen Milligan's personal experience battling a rare liver cancer. While only 30 at the time of diagnosis, Kristen and her husband, Deric, have founded an organization dubbed Inheritance of Hope, a non-profit with a mission of increasing the well-being and overcoming despair in the lives of children and families with a parent diagnosed with a terminal illness. This book is truly inspirational- a must read for all! While I do not think the book can be purchased in the bookstore, it is available at www.inheritanceofhope.org. You will not be disappointed! 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Inspirational book, "Consider it Pure Joy"
Jun 22 2008, 9:59 PM EDT Hi, my name is Karen. I am a “FOUR-TIME CANCER SURVIVOR OF CERVICAL, COLON, LIVER AND RECTAL CANCER”. I am writing this asking you to help me get my story out to the world, so that in return there will be millions of people who find Comfort, Healing and HOPE. I would love to share with you how I went from despair to joy. Our bodies are miraculous!! It's amazing how much abuse, pain, surgery, poking and prodding that a body can endure. Mine has come through 14 different surgeries in just the last 14 years. At the age of 25, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. At 32, I was diagnosed with a Vertebral Artery Dissection in the brain. In June of 2001, at 38, I was once again diagnosed with Cancer. This time of the Colon, I prayed for God to get me through this and once again he delivered me. He wasn’t finished with me yet, so in February 2002, at 39, I was diagnosed with Cancer of the Liver. Before going into surgery for the Cancer of the Liver, the doctors told me to get my affairs in order because I probably wouldn’t make it through this time. I told them that they weren’t God, and that he would decide when it was time for me to go. Little did I know that He had more in store for me, In June of 2003, at 40, I was diagnosed with Rectal Cancer. They told me I would have a permanent colostomy and basically not much of a life. They wanted me to go to counseling, but God wanted me to be the counselor. In conclusion, I just want to sing and share my testimony with the world. My prayer is that my book will be a blessing to you and your loved ones. It has been very healing for me to write. I look forward to sharing my whole story with you in my book: One Woman’s Story: How I Survived Cervical, Colon, Liver and Rectal Cancer.
