Diagnosis

I went to the doctor's today, to get my biopsy results.  The pathology report indicates a malignancy.  I have breast cancer.  They don't know the extent and stage.  My doctor has put in a referral to a specialist and I will be scheduled for further diagnostic tests to find out all that.  Nothing can be done until the further tests are done and we know more about how far advanced it is.  Treatment options, too, will depend on it.  So, until then, daughter and I are trying to support each other.  Please keep my daughter and me in your thoughts.

Today, I am grateful for:

- Access to medical care
- Knowing in advance so I can prepare myself
- Caring, supportive family and friends
- Hope
- Faith

  5. I didn't read my blogs yesterday - so I have only just picked up the news. You and your daughter are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you are miles away- but I would come round and give you a hug and a homebaked fruitcake if I could. Read Isaiah 43:2, and hang on to the promises there. [My email is on my blog, if you ever want to send a private message] God bless you, strengthen you and heal you - much love xxx

    1. Angela, thank you. I have looked up and copied down the verse you have suggested (along with Joshua 1;9 which I found on your blog). I am finding much comfort in those promises.

    1. Dawn, how lovely to hear from you! I've been thinking of you and hoping all is well with you and everything is going well with your move. Thank you, for your lovely comments and prayers. You know, you are probably right about the timing of this blog, etc. Somethings are too much of a coincidence to be mere, random chance! Please keep in touch and best wishes to you.
