Today is the day I am to get the results of my biopsy. God has told me in my spirit that I will be all right. I feel it. I get the call and they tell me that I have a little bit of malignancy and I need to have surgery. Mama cries and I am calm. I know God will take care of me I feel it in my spirit. We call family and friends and they all support us with words and prayers. Mama and I go to talk to my sister and she is a rock in the time of trouble. The breast center gave me several options of hospitals to go to for my surgery. I almost make a decision right then, but I think I need to talk to other women I know who have been through this same thing. My Mother says she doesn't want me to have it in town to go to Knoxville. My sister says to go to Park West and I agree. They treated me very well there at the breast center. Then we go to talk to my pastor. His Mother went through breast cancer several years ago and I got her numbers from him. We talk for a while and sharpen each others swords on the word of God. Encouraging each other in our time of need. I am put on several different churches prayer lists and that further comforts me. God is able to move mountains! YES HE IS! My pastor reads me a verse of scripture that helps so much. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. "  Romans 8:28
     I get a call from my gynecologist and she wants to see me tomorrow. At the appointment she tells me that the nodule is 5cm in size so we caught it in the early stages.
     I make an appointment with a surgeon at ParkWest breast center for Oct. 21, 2009 at 10:45 a.m. I have to take all my medical records, mammograms, ultrasound cd, and a list of my medications. I feel like I'm carring a suitcase with all this stuff. As I'm writing this it's Oct. 20, 2009 the night before my appointment with Dr. Lytle Brown. Prayer does help and God always listens.
