Lynn Eib, a colon cancer survivor, shares what was hardest about her journey, but also shares how cancer has brought blessings to her life.

“My little girls… I don’t want them to have to grow up without a mommy.”  That was colon cancer survivor Lynn Eib’s prayer through her treatments for the disease.  When she saw her youngest of three daughters graduate, she breathed a sigh of relief and told herself, “Yes! I did it.  I made it.”  She now has seen her daughters graduate from college and watch two of them get married.  And, she now has a grandson!  These are things Lynn says, “I never dared to hope and dream for.”

Hi Lynn Eib,
I was diagnosed with colon cancer this summer on June 26th, 2014. Yes the same day as you only a different year. I am currently reading your book 50 Days Of Hope. I'm a teacher and wasn't able to start the school year because of the chemo & radiation treatments. I will be having surgery in October followed up with more chemo.
Your book is amazing and has helped me in SO many ways! I couldn't agree more with so many things you have written in this wonderful book! It was given to me by another cancer patient who also had colon cancer. I'm so grateful she bought it for me but am so thankful you wrote it!
How crazy that we have the same first name and were both diagnosed on June 26th! Crazy crazy :)

I just want to say thank you for allowing God to use you in a mighty way. Your books "When God and Cancer Meet" and "Finding Light in Cancer's Shadow" ministered to me in a mighty. I am an oral cancer survivor and when I got the call, I was devastated and did not know what to do. I too had small children and could possibly imagine leaving them behind. Your books helped give me the strength and courage I needed to fight. I am now 3 years post camcer and expecting a new little miracle in December.
