I never share this story, but I feel it may help someone dealing with this same situation. Back in Nov. 2002, I decided to visit a local church knowing that I had cervical cancer stage 2B. I rode the Sunday School bus with a bunch of small children.
The ride to church was uneventful and I asked if I could be prayed for after services were over. All the adults prayed for me and talked with me about my devastating diagnosis.
Unfortunately, I had a big problem that came with advanced cervical cancer, which was a dead smell coming from my bottom area. I could not cover the smell with any feminine product I had bought.
Soon, as I got on the bus, the children ended up bullying me on the entire ride home from church. Immediately, I began crying because I was embarrassed due to comments about the foul smell. I felt like I didn’t belong on that bus and hurried off once I got home.
The church called me to apologize and asked me to come back for prayer. Honestly, I was afraid to go back due to the bullying. However, I decided to wait until I had started the cancer treatment.
I wanted to wait till the foul dead smell was gone, which ended up going away with one round of chemotherapy and radiation. After the full radiation and chemotherapy treatment was over, I finally decided to go back to that church.
I even faced my fears by riding the same bus with the same kids. Thankfully, things went well that Sunday and I was able to overcome my own anxiety.
