If someone had asked me any day before June 29, 2010 how would I react if I were diagnosed with breast cancer, my response would have been "God knows me and He wouldn't put more on me than I could handle." Well, needless to say I was diagnosed with breast cancer on June 29, 2010 and on July 29, 2010 I underwent a mastectomy. I am very grateful that God knows me better than I know myself. I went into surgery with the feeling of already being healed although the cancer had not yet been removed. Recovery was difficult, but with the help of friends, my church family and family, I was able to make it through that arduous process. I thank God for praying husband, children and mother. I thank God for His infinite wisdom, tender mercies, and the power of intercessery prayer.
If you had asked me in July 2010, how would I react or what would I say if I were diagnosed with cancer again, I would most definately say I don't think I could survive that again. Well, on November 16, 2010 I was diagnosed with a tumor (suspected cancer) on my spine. I am now in a upper body brace. I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow to biopsy and remove as much of the tumor as possible. I already know I have the support of my "sisters and brothers in Christ" who have supported me and my family in the past and are stepping up yet again.
Please pray for me and my family as we start this journey.
