“But those who Hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.”
- Isaiah 40:31

It appears that almost ALL of us have the same initial thoughts of FEAR, SHOCK and CONFUSION! We are here to tell you thru our own experiences that while you may not be able to see it early on, have HOPE that you can get thru this, that there WILL be many wonderful blessings and positive changes to occur thru your journey and YES, life will go on. However, your life will never be the same!

With the help of our Physicians at the OU Medical Center, HOPE in Oklahoma provides educational programs about your disease and its treatments. Sometimes, our programs serve as a place to fellowship and communicate with each other.

We walk together thru our emotions and we find the bond of friendship here to be the strongest bond ever experienced.
