Surgery Scheduled

Hi I have my surgery on Thursday December 13th. I am having a lumpectomy. My genetic testing came back negative so as of right now no other surgery is needed as we thought before. So pray for Thursday that it is not in the lymph nodes. After 30 days I start radiation for 6 weeks. Another new road to travel but I know many women who have gone through it and done just fine. I have to be totally honest... This has been the greatest experience I have ever been through. All I wanted to do after I found out I had cancer was Glorify the Lord in everything I do. Whether it was going to Doctors appts., having surgery, radiation, or just being patient with my kids the whole time , no matter what I had to go through my main focus had to be on my Creator who made me. He knew what was going on in my body and he was going to take care of it and I wanted to Glorify him with my actions. From the moment I found out I went to the Lord who is the author and perfecter of my faith, my wonderful counselor. I knew he would get me through but what I didn't expect was how much he would affect my heart. Although there have been tears at times, most of them have been of my amazement of His love for me. He has made us able to get into Doctors that are hard to see and what a team of Doctors I have. Not one detail left out. And at times when I have been sad I call my wonderful Husband Andy and he will first of all pray with me then help me make the next step forward. This has defintly been an emotional time. But I have so much peace and love and joy in my heart I can't even explain it. One day Andy asked me how I was doing and all I could say was "My heart is happy!" So believe me God is real! He loves me and he loves you too!

Thank you for your amazing heart of grace--given by Him and for His glory!! I am praying so much for you Peggy, and will continue to do so!! The Lord goes before you, just as He did with the children of Israel in the Red Sea. He will push the enemies back, just as He did the waters.
