I feel much better today. Yesterday was long with some pain. I was in and out most of the day until about 7 pm and then the cloud started to clear away. I just have pain under my arm where they took out the lymph nodes. Here is where we are with the cancer. The pathologist will be looking at the tissue and lump these next two weeks. He/she will be looking at the cancer and also expecting the lymph nodes. The initial look said no cancer in lymph nodes but they will do farther test to make sure ( I like that). In a wk or two one of my dr will let me know what my course of treatment is. We know this will involve radiation which will kill any cancerous cells that are left and then also prevent recurrence. What other treatments will depend on the pathology report.
How am I emotionally? Actually pretty good I still have moments of disbelief but really the surgery helped so much to give this the reality I needed. I am surrendering to God and have confidence in his plan he has for me. My scripture for the day is Job 23:10 ( I really didn't like The book of Job until today funny) I believe he is good all the time. Don't get me wrong I still cried today I am not super woman.
What do I need : prayers, texts, calls and just to be loved on with out smothering me :) I will let you know when it's to much.
A dear friend gave me two books yesterday that are perfect....they really speak to what this is like. So if you ever get this diagnoses or a friend does or u just want to know read these books " Dear God, They say its cancer" by Janet Thompson and " praying through cancer" both are good the first talks more about emotions :) I also received a book from the cancer center " breast cancer treatment handbook" excellent Well all in all life is good. Today I kind of like pink :)
