One year ago today I received that dreaded phone call and heard those dreadful words, "you have breast cancer." It has been a year of ups and downs but looking back, I see the Lord's footprints in the sand and know He has carried me through.
I realize it's been a long time since I've blogged or posted much on FB. I think it's because my life has gotten back to some normalcy. Or more like my new normal.
Ironically, I also had an appointment with my Oncologist today. I asked him, "So what am I? In remission, cured, or what??" He said, "disease-free." I'll take that. He went on to say that reocurrence usually occurs in years 5 - 10 but if there's no reocurrence in 10 years, I would be "cured." Well, that's my goal so I have 9 more years!
I'm also a little over a week away from reaching another milestone. On Jan. 28th, I'll go in for reconstruction surgery. I'm not nervous about it but imagine that will change with each passing day. It will be the most invasive procedure I've ever experienced.
Your continued prayers are appreciated.
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." Ephesians 3:20
