Prayer is Powerful!!!!!

Glory to God and all of His soldiers on earth!! Woke up yesterday to go see my Breast surgeon to get drainage tubes removed and to find out the results of lymph node biopsy.  Well, he told me that removing my breast removed all the cancer.  He also told me that the biopsy of my lymph node came back NEGATIVE!!!! NO CANCER!!! IT HASN'T SPREAD!!!!  I was so happy to hear that.  At that very moment, I knew I could handle anything else that was to come my way. I immediately started to cry and I started to praise God!!  I started praising and couldn't stop.  My doctor just smiled and told me that the hardest part was over.  He then commenced to tell me what we needed to do.  I found out that my cancer was in Stage 1 but my cancer grade was a 3.  This means that the cancer cells were not normal and were fast growing.  This would mean that I would still need to do chemotherapy for preventative.  He wanted me to see an oncologist the next day. This is when I felt the state of shock hit me. Was I hearing this correctly????  So the toughest part was over???  I started thinking to myself, "I knew I was going to be alright.  I just knew it."  So not having my right breast was not an issue at that moment.  It was so not important at all.  Over the past week, I was putting too much emphasis on losing my boob.  I now was ready to see my scar and see the beauty of not having my right breast.  Removing it has given me life back and that is what is important.  I feel like I was born again and given a chance to continue to serving God and pleasing Him.

Kristina and I got into the car.  I called Ron first and then Andre.  They both sounded so happy and I could hear in their voices the sigh of relief.  It was the best feeling.  I could also hear the love from them too.  All four of us knew that God had heard us and was giving me different lease on life.

I came home and sat here all day in shock and so happy.  We all know that we will die one day but cancer was not going to kill me.  I am determined to beat it and keep it away from my body.  I will stay prayed up and continue to praise God each day for what I am going through. This journey is teaching me so much and introducing me to so many new people. I am loving it.

Today, I went to see the oncologist and he explained to me what my treatment was going to consist of.  Actually, anything he told me wasn't going to steal my joy.  I could handle it and I was going to be ready to finish up my recovery.  I was ready to kick cancer's butt.

Kinda sleepy tonight. I will go into more detail in tomorrow's blog.  As I am typing now, my eyelids keep falling.  Can't fight it anymore.  Until the morning  !! Tonight, I know I will be sleeping peacefully!!!
