Forgive my absence in writing over the past several days. I was waiting to write to give you some more information. Today I got a little. We still don't have a lot, but I know have dates for the MRI and follow up with the surgeon. One of the things right now that is the hardest is the waiting. And the wondering. So sometimes in all that my mind wanders to the negative, if I have any other ache or tweak in my body I begin to wonder "What's that?!" So I am asking God to keep my mind on HIM and his promises. And also on things I can write on this blog, that may help someone else. One thing I was thinking of was trying to describe what this "green monster germ" feels like on the outside. Many women that I have told really just have no idea. So after days of trying to figure this out, this is what I came up with. It feels like an olive pit stuffed in a marshmallow. That is based on zero scientific or educational research mind you, but there you have it. Now you can all go look for olives and marshmallows on sale and test my theory.
Here's what I know God is good MRI is scheduled for 2/16 Meet with surgeon Dr. Peterson again 2/21 to hopefully discuss all results (genetics, biopsy and MRI) My biopsy tissue is currently being studied in Seattle Lunch on the beach with your husband is really nice Here's what I don't know ~ I met with Dr. Clark today and he is so great. He keeps it real. So many "what ifs" still, in terms of treatment possibilities and side effects from those possible treatments. ~Why miniature ants have decided to move into all of our bathrooms Here's what I learned Cancer is really complex Praises Appointments were scheduled today for MRI and follow up with surgeon I have new referrals for 3 different oncologists on island Prayer Requests Continued peace during the days when we are just waiting Again and again for my thoughts to remain on what is "true, honorable, just, pure, lovely...anything worthy of praise, think about these things."

It was tight but we made it!

Thank you so much for sharing this blog with Chris and I. We will be following your progress and praying for you as you reach the big milestones. My mother had breast cancer and it was very very advanced, almost to the point where she had a moment and thought of not treating it. My sister and I were 15 and 18, respectively. Luckily she did fight it. It was difficult but it has been in remission ever since. I know this will be your story, too.
