There were several scriptures that I held close to my heart
during my experience with breast cancer, especially during the time I was first
diagnosed when there was so much uncertainty and fear. I had a piece of linen I had received in the
past, which had been referred to as a prayer cloth. It was small enough to fit inside my Bible,
so that is where I had kept it for the last Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08203816645112290303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608749356535783904.post-63987049958166616992014-01-16T23:40:00.000-05:002014-01-16T23:40:32.172-05:00It's Okay to Ask "Why?"
After hearing my biopsy results, I was excited as one could
possibly be while dealing with cancer, by the news that I “most likely” would
not have to have chemotherapy. This was based on the type and size of the
cancer I had. Of course, we would not know for sure until after the surgery,
but my surgeon was very optimistic that I would not need chemotherapy.

One character trait I’ve never had is that of patience. My
family would definitely agree. If I wanted something done, it had to be done
right then and there- no time for waiting. My husband often asks why things
have to be “on your timetable”. Well,
with cancer, I soon found out things were not going to be on my timetable at
all. After I met with the surgeon I
found out I was going Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08203816645112290303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608749356535783904.post-49931188860921706992013-10-05T22:33:00.000-04:002013-10-05T22:33:42.895-04:00Through the Fire...
Following my initial biopsy results, things began to move
rather quickly. I had to schedule
what seemed like numerous tests and doctor’s appointments. Since hearing my
diagnosis, everything in life seemed so surreal. I would often wake up at
night, with a sense of relief thinking, “Oh, it was just a dream”, and then
realizing it was not. It was like being in a continual state of shock.

I think anyone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer can
recall exactly how they felt the moment they heard the words “you have breast
cancer.” I was actually at work and was told over the phone. I had to try to
maintain composure until I could manage to leave the office. Once I got in my
car, I still could not wrap my mind around what I had just heard. The anxiety
and fear that comes Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08203816645112290303noreply@blogger.com0
