First Came the....

First came the mammogram...I had never had one but the oncologist wanted me to have one..just a a precaution...

Then came the...Can you come back for a second mammogram? I am thinking to myself..I am never doing this again..cause I hate that they are finding "things"

Then came the ..we need a ultrasound...My goodness...I am going to be so glad when I get the all clear..and I am not going to be happy when it is time for my next mammogram..
Then came the...we need to do a MRI..I can not even begin to explain the thoughts I had while I was laying on my tummy with my boobs in these little containers and being in a machine for an hour..But I do know I was thinking..Never Ever Again..lol

Then came the oncologist saying...you need to see a surgeon..well great...ok
So I went to this wonderful surgeon...and waited a LONG time.
While I waited...I got to wear this wonderful gown..
As I sat there I noticed my toes looked kind of rough and needed a pedicure..
Then I spent some time wondering what was in that Yellow envelop. You see it over there..The one that is just thrown over there like it is no big deal...
As I should of known..It showed that I would need surgery...and that is what I am doing in 4 hours...
While I complained about the mammogram and finding "something". I lay here tonight and I think..Thank you God for guiding me to the right Dr to send me to have it done. And please please please make the news this morning a good outcome.
I can not help be remember the last time I went in..I came out with shocking news and my life forever changed...
I can not help but wish Jimmy was here with me ...but he will be back soon enough.
My message to you..GET YOUR MAMMOGRAM..

You are so very courageous! I know I say it often, but I say it because I mean it, I am proud of you!

You've told me several times that you feel all alone. Amy, you are not alone! Our precious, Heavenly Father is with you right now as you prepare for this surgery. He is with your surgeon, the nurses, the techs....guiding them while He's holding you. He says in His Word that "He will NEVER leave you or forsake you". He knew you before time began and from the time He created you in your mother's womb He knew that you would be facing this very moment. None of this is taking Him by surprise! He longs for you to hold on to Him with everything that is within you. Have faith like you've never had before! His peace and grace is sufficient for you Amy and will cover you every moment. I love you and I'm covering you in prayers!

((Hugs)) to you Amy! I'm praying for you daily. As much as I hate mammograms, I agree that we need to get them regularly. Since I've had Cancer, I started getting them yearly at 25. I have fibrocycstic problems. Fun times....

I think your toe nails look just fine and I love the color. (grin)

I've always wondered - who do you get to take the pictures of you while in the doctor's office? What a great idea though!

Good luck with your surgery and I pray that God directs the surgeon's hands. Just know he's standing right behind him the entire time.

Hugs - Cheryl

Great message! I am insisting on a baseline one when I turn 30. It runs in my family and my aunt just recently got it in her 40's. I am thinking of you Amy, stay strong.

Take care my sweet friend...
