Just wanted to post today I received my results from the PET Scan. The PET Scan checks to see if I have cancer any where else in body from my nose to my knees. The doctor reported that I DO NOT have cancer any where else, except for the area in the left breast. PRAISE GOD!!!
I want to THANK EVERYONE for your prayers, love and support. I could not get through this without you.
Well that's all I'm posting today, because I had the Portacath procedure today and I'm still very tired and a little soar. I just wanted to keep you "a breast" of the situation. :)
Blessings and Hugs to You!

Pre-Chemo Brain
While I was reading some of the effects of Chemo, I read you get Chemo brain. It's like you can't really concentrate on matters. Well, I feel like I have Pre-Chemo brain right now. Yesterday coming home from work I traveled 5 miles past my street to my house. I think with all the research, questions, filling-out forms, tests and Christmas time, my brain is at capacity.
Today, I had the PET Scan. That wasn't bad at all! They put contrast in you by I-V, but after you sit in a big leather recliner for an hour. Then they scan you, which was like an open MRI and not loud at all. Very relaxing actually. I will find out the results tomorrow and let you know. I will have the Portcath inserted tomorrow so I might be out of it for most of the day.
A couple of months ago at work I won a customized quilt at an auction. Well the person at work just finished it and I wanted to share it with you. I will be using this for sure at home. Thanks Nancy!
Blessings & Hugs to All!

Fear Not
"Fear Not"...is what I heard in my head as I scheduled my first Chemo treatment - December 16. There is an unknown there that brings on some anxiety. Because everyone reacts differently to Chemo there is no way to determine how I will react mentally and physically. My faith and trust in the Lord will be tested for sure. I feel like I'm in line to ride the biggest roller-coaster ride. You know the butterflies you get right before you get on the ride?
The Advent prayer for today is:
That reflection is exactly what I needed to hear today. God is Good!
Tomorrow I have the PET Scan, which shouldn't be too bad. They will be scanning my body from my nose to my knees. Hopefully, I should get the results in a day or two. I will post when I find out the results.
Blessings and love to all you!
The Advent prayer for today is:
Say to those whose hearts are frightened: Be strong, fear not! Here is your God, He comes with vindication; With divine recompense He comes to save you. (Isaiah 35: 4)
Lord, You are my strength and with You here, my own fears fade right away.
