Checkin In...

Today I have a really LONG medical day. I am behind on some of my treatments and today we will see what we need to do about that...since I am still trying to heal...I am a little overwhelmed today.

Also I see the surgeon about the drain.

I am a little...frustrated or anxious...maybe both...I will not be getting my biopsy results till Mid next week. They wanted it sent to a second lab. Why?

Now to be honest...If I let myself think about the second mass and the second lab..I could start thinking really bad thoughts..and deep in the night I do just that..I am trying to not jump to conclusions. It will be what it is...and I plan to deal with it..head on ...I just pray that it is all okay and I can work towards getting strong and well. I look forward to the days ahead...to do just that.

I hope you all have a blessed day.

Try to stay focused on today and the here and now, Amy...hard as that might be. Allow God to handle all the "what ifs". I'm praying hard for you, girl...always will! Sending you love and hugs!

You are so awesome for keeping us up-to-date on everything. Thanks for doing that.
I hope today goes better than you planned. Enjoy some good cuddle time with Cole Tre when you get home.
Thinking of you.

Amy,
I am praying for you....praying for your physical healing, Philip's healing, your husband's return home and his mental health, and the peace that only comes from resting in God's grace and love. My mother is in a nursing home and what has really been brought home to me lately as I visit her and see all of the other residents in their beds (and usually all alone in their rooms) is that ultimately it is just us and our God. My favorite Bible scripture is in Psalms where Asaph at first is resentful of those who go through life untouched by hardships with seemingly no regard for God...but then Aspah considers their end and says (and this is the part that I love) "whom have I in Heaven but YOU and being with YOU I desire no one on earth." That is what I want to desire...just God and his will for me. Amy, your strength and faith are an inpiration to me and I am sure to many others that follow your journey.

"Because Amy loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue her; I will protect her, for she acknowledges my name. She will call upon me, and I WILL answer her; I will be with her in trouble, I will deliver her and honor her. With long life will I satisfy her and show her my salvation."
Psalm 91:14-16
Of course, I took the liberty of inserting your name, but when we read His Word, He is speaking directly to us. His promises are for you, my friend. Seek Him no matter what and watch the blessings flow. I love you!

We're thinking all good thoughts, aren't we? I am praying for your recovery and the return of your husband and some happy times for you. I pray for Phillip too and hope he is healing. Now, repeat after me...good thoughts, good thoughts, good thoughts!

Oh this is so hard for you to bear...I don't know if this will help you but it is not uncommon for them to send the mass on for further testing. They will be running tests to see if this is a metastasizes or if it new in origin and they will probably be running Her2Neu testing which would tell them what type of treatment is best...I know it is frustrating to wait but know if you believe your Dr is good to you then he will take care of you with everything he has...I haven't met an Oncologist yet that doesn't put their patients first..

Thinking about you and praying for you all of the time.

Call me anytime you want to talk, even in the middle of the night. I know when the house is quiet, it is the hardest.

You haven't posted in a few days. Worrying about you. Hope you and Phillip are OK.

Sending my prayers your way.
