About 5 weeks have past since my diagnosis of Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma. As I have trooped through all the scans and tests, I have come to a realization: part of me feels betrayed by my body. It allowed a malicious alien to form its weapons in me with the intent to own and destroy all that I am. Yet, it has also been my friend at the same time. In an act of merciful kindness it has thrust me into a deeper reliance on God. It pushed me willingly closer to my Father, the Healer and Comforter.
All things fall into proper perspective when the triviality of daily activity ceases to be trivial. My children are more precious, my moments more dear. Best of all, God will be glorified by the healing He performs on my body. My daughter pointed out that Jesus came for our healing. When he left, the disciples were charged with continuing to heal. These were the acts of God, not miracles - but what He has for us. (Miraculous, indeed - the gift of a Father who loves His children.) So, Cancer, my friend, thank you for reminding me where my focus belongs. Praise God! And a huge THANK YOU to my FAMILY and FRIENDS for all the love and support.. YOU ALL ROCK.. YOU ALL GIVE ME STRENGTH to fight my DRAGON.
I will be starting my CHEMO in 10 days, so be prepared for a hairless HOPLESS ROMANTIC :)
Isn't this disease horrific to women.. first I lost my breast and now I am going to loose my long
hair to this DRAGON...
But.. I will just pray for peace withing and keep
fighting
GOD'S BLESSING TO ALL
