I miss being able
To get up and go
Now its all pills
And needles that flow.
Chemo, radiation, and doctor visits
That's my life now
I push forward no matter what
I don't know how
The power of faith
Is shining through
I believe in Lord Jesus
There is nothing he cant do
Believe and I will be healed my child
Is what he says and does
I believe in my saviour
No reason, just because
I can choose in this life
To do wrong or right
I can choose to die
Or get up and fight
You better believe
I will do my best
I know my calling
Its all a test
I face death in the eyes
Every single day
But Im not going out like that
It will be my way!

About Renee and my blog!
- Renee Bravo
- Dallas, TEXAS, United States
- I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer at the age of 29 years old. I am a work in progress. I am learning, growing, and trying to raise awareness for Early Detection. I believe in Girl Power and the power of Prayer. I am a mother, a wife, a strong woman in the 30th century. I have zero history in my family, and I have tested negative for the BRCA gene. I should not be facing this right now, but I am. I figure its for a reason. I decided to share my experiences more for awareness but also a place for my family to get updates. I do not send out email updates to anyone, I post it here. Here I am, I hold nothing back. If I ask anything, its to learn something from what I have been through, and make your life better because of it, treat someone better because of it, love someone more genuinely because of it. And most important of all, make sure all the women in your life have regular mammograms or MRI's. No choice. I believe 40 is too long to wait. Women today need to start early. I would love to hear or talk to any of you. God Bless.
