It was shortly after Thanksgiving 2005 when I found
that I had a suspicious image on the mammogram.
When we went to my gynecologist, and he said
“I have bad news,” we knew immediately.
“It is a stage 2 breast cancer, that I found in
the biopsy."
When I saw the look on my husband David’s face
it broke my heart, and I asked God for strength
so I wouldn’t affect David. I think he was upset
enough.
On the drive back David said, “We’ll handle it no
matter what it involves.” I said, “I turn it over to Jesus
as it’s too much for me to handle, and I trust God.”
I immediately felt protected by God’s angels, and
There were other tests I had to go through to be sure
my heart was strong, and they needed to see my bones
from head to toe. These are nuclear tests and time
consuming. I had all the time in the world. Health first!
The surgery was then set for January 10th 2006, but I had
to meet the surgeon. I felt confident that Jesus had chosen
all my doctors. The surgery was at Women’s and Children’s
Hospital. Which has an excellent cancer floor devoted to
women.
It was a private room with a chair that opened for your husbands
single bed. I was so happy to see David after the surgery. There
was of course pain, but all I could think of was that the surgery was
successful. I thank the good Lord above and all His Love for this
particular woman surgeon. David and I liked her right away. She
answered all questions, and I was able to make my own decision.
Just before the surgery David had gone shopping and brought home
a baby monitor so he would be able to hear me in two rooms.
David took excellent care of me, and kept my spirits up with his
nature, and jokes.
Then of course there are chemotherapy sessions, and I was off to see
the oncologist who is also a women doctor of high praise. Our family
doctor of thirty-two years knew her, and said she is the best. I never
had to have radiation, and very happy for that.
I Praise The Lord Daily for my journey into wellness. I am still going
through treatments and healing takes a good year. I lost my hair, but they
said it will grow back. I truly thank the Lord for an extended life, as I do
love my life with David.
