Knowing What You Know

I want to start this by saying God is good. I know this. I know I am taken care of in ways I don't even see.

I woke up one morning several months ago and a tiny voice said, "go see your doctor - something's wrong." It took a few weeks, but I called and made an appointment and moved on. In the meantime, a dear friend from work was diagnosed with something called invasive lobular carcinoma, a not so common form of breast cancer, especially in those of us under 60. As she was walking through her journey, I went to my appointment and my doctor sent me for further testing. Wednesday, August 5th, the radiologist shared the results - you have invasive lobular carcinoma. Well, good news - I already know what that is!

If you know me well, you know this isn't a huge big deal to me - just a tad inconvenient. I'm more concerned about the people around me - that probably includes you if you are reading this. So here's the deal- I promise I'll fight and do my best. I promise when I need prayer or hugs- I'll tell you. It's ok to ask me questions, but please don't be sad and tragic. This is just life. This is part of God's plan for me, and His plan is PERFECT. 

I don't know exactly what is ahead yet. I've had a biopsy, an MRI, another biopsy and a meeting with a surgeon and radiologist. Once I have firm dates and figure out what that means, I'll post here along with ways you can help out our family. I appreciate your love and support - especially for Steve (Woody for most of you) and Ian.
