The Latest - June 9,2006
I spent the entire week at doctor's appointments. I've been poked, prodded, quizzed over family history, examined, mammographed again, stitches have been removed, and more appointments have been made.
My last appointment was at U of M in Ann Arbor where I was privileged to meet with Dr. Lisa Newman, Director of the Breast Care Center and surgical oncologist. She has an incredible list of credentials from Harvard to New York Health Institute. I was very impressed. She will perform a mastectomy and more lymph node removal since my last biopsy and lymph node dissection showed one node with cancer. This should happen in about 2 weeks.
Unfortunately the next step is chemotherapy. Eight treatments over 16 weeks. I will probably do this at U of M as well. I am pretty nervous about chemo., but am confident that Jesus will get me through. A new friend and 2-time cancer survivor recently told me about a scripture verse that helped her through her cancer journey. I Peter 5:10 - "And the God of all grace who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."
I pray that no matter what obstacles lie ahead, I will remain faithful to Jesus.
