Hello again! I guess my journey is not over. Here i am, going along with my life. Just dealing with hot flashes but that is do-able. Then i go for my first diagnostic mammogram and as i am waiting for them to call my name to give me my results so i can go home they call my name and said we need to get a few more pictures. so i go in the room and take off my right sleeve thinking the scars were in the way or something and they say "No I'm sorry it's on your left side." oh... so i take off my left sleeve and they take a picture or two they look at it and said we need to go up a little further. oh... So i wait for ever for them to call my name again and when she finally did she says" here have a seat" oh....K she said "you have some calcification's on your left side." oh... dear..... She said if it were anyone else i would say we can wait 3 months and take another picture and keep an eye on it but with your history.... I said "I want to get it tested." She said if it were her, she would get it tested. So when my doctor gets back from vacation I will have the biopsy on Oct 13th. So... all of this to say Please pray for me. It was last October that i had my last mammogram where they found the calcification's on the right side.
weird huh? No not weird, i just thought 'God is not done with me yet'. What a wonderful opportunity to trust and lean on the Lord for all of my needs. He is my comforter and and my strength. I know that "all things turn out good for those who love him!" And he will not give me more than i can handle. so i have peace in my heart. I am not afraid. Praise the Lord!!!
Join with me again.

You have been such and inspiration to so many through this season of your life. We most certainly will join you once again - and we will be on our knees today asking for the Lord to bring you health, healing and strength as he upholds you with His "righteous right hand."

Yesterday my Encouraging Word said this - "The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives" Psalm 37:23.
I believe that the Lord does delight in your life. In the way that you are handling this new journey and the old. I love you dear sister of mine in blood and in Christ and I will always be by your side. You are an inspiration to me and many. Cyndi

Dear Peggy;
I don't know if you even remember me, but I hope you don't mind that your sister shared your blog link with me.

I spent my lunch hour looking through this window into your life on this journey and I am
overwhelmed with respect for your courage and strength.

I thought it particularly poignant that I would learn of your challenge today--when our company sponsored a big Lee Denim fundraiser today for Breast Cancer Research.

I remember the first time I met you...and you know what? You haven't changed a bit! I would know you anywhere!

For now, please accept this posting with a promise of my daily prayers for the best news for you on the 13th.

Love,
Davi

I'm so sorry, Peggy. I will be seeking the Lord on your behalf, especially as you're in this waiting period. Just know that we will all be waiting with you until you get clarification in mid-Oct. Your faith and hope in the Lord has, once again, more than inspired me as I walk through my own breast cancer journey.

Peggy,

Your example of submitting to God's will and your joyful trust in Him comforts me. I know waiting for info can be really hard. I am praying for you and your fam. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help - I would be honored.

Love,
Lori

Peggy, For some reason the Lord prompted me just now to look at your blog---though I figured there would be nothing new. You will be in my prayers. I look forward to watching how HE is going to carry you and those who will be touched by your love for Him in this trial. This is not just to build your faith...you encourage others in their faith walk also. Blessings Judy <><
