Send us Fan MailCANCERStuff We Don’t Talk About (but probably should) – Part 3Springcreek Church | Pastor Keith StewartMay 14, 2023Perhaps no other word in the English language is as feared as the word Cancer. When we hear the word cancer, immediately we associate it with other words like pain, suffering, disfigurement, and perhaps even death. Just how likely is it that you or someone you love will face a cancer diagnosis? Statistics tell us 1 in 3 people in this country will be diagnosed with some sort of cancer in their lifetime. This means the likelihood that you or someone you love will be given a cancer diagnosis is extremely high. What do you do when that statistic is you? How do you support friends and loved ones through this process? And where is God in all of this? Discover the answer to those questions and many more.SERIES: Stuff We Don't Talk About (But Probably Should)People tend to hold in what they find upsetting, uncomfortable, or the things they fear. But our fear and avoidance of distressing topics actually magnify the distress and discomfort we’re feeling. There’s a better way. Honest, loving, and candid truth can dispel distortions, erase our fears and liberate us to face life’s most discomforting truths.FIND ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR HELP HERE: www.springcreekchurch.org/resources/Or, text RESOURCES to 96995CANCER RESOURCESWEBSITESwww.acor.orgAssociation of Cancer Online Resourceswww.gildasclub.orgGreat place in Dallas for anyone with cancer or a family member.www.candlelighters.orgwww.wish.orgFor kids with a life-threatening illness (does not have to be terminal-I say this because the Make A Wish foundation used to be for kids who were dying).BOOKS FOR KIDS OR PARENTS OF KIDS WITH CANCERYou can order these through Candlelighters and if you have a child with Cancer, they will send them to you for free, just call them.Chemo, Craziness, and Comfort My book about childhood Cancer, Nancy Keene and Trevor Romain (6 and older)The Amazing Hannah (2 and older)I had a Tumor it wasn’t a Rumor  (4 and older)Childhood Cancer - A Parent’s Guide to Solid Tumors, Janes-Hodder and KeeneI Want to Grow Hair, I Want to Grow Up, I Want to Go to Boise, Erma BombeckBOOKS FOR ADULTS WITH CANCERSurviving Cancer by Dee SimmonsWhen Your Friend Gets Cancer by Amy HarwellIs God to Blame?  Beyond Pat Answers to the Problem of Suffering by Gregory A.
