This has been an emotional day even though I felt it would turn out this way. My appointment with Dr. Garvey, my surgeon, was this afternoon. Don't know what was going on but the office people were rapidly going in and out of the surgeons offices with this panicked look on their faces. Then the security man showed up and escorted two women and a child out of the offices with the woman yelling about calling the cops while much of the staff was surrounding the women and trying to get them out of the building. All in all it was a good diversion. So they did find that there were actually three different types of cancer in the breast they thought had one kind. Also they found that five of nine lymph nodes had cancer cells. Because the cancer in the nodes was not killed by the chemo and could have spread Dr. Garvey and Dr. Hansen will meet and come up with another plan of treatment. Dr. Garvey feels that the radiation needs to begin as soon as my body recovers from the surgery. She thought that I would probably be doing radiation and chemo at the same time. Doesn't sound like much fun but she encouraged me to do whatever I fill like doing. I know that we never would have found the other two cancers until it was too late if the visible inflammatory cancer hadn't appeared. I know that there are things that I need to learn and do. I believe that God is in charge and I am so grateful for His tremendous blessings in my. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you, Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid." This scripture found in Luke has lifted me up when I was so frightened. Faith and fear cannot reside together at the same time so I choose FAITH.
