Well, I got my results back on my lymph nodes. It turns out that they actually took out 7 lymph nodes and 4 of them have cancer. This took me a little by surprise. It makes me think a little. I guess I don't know what to think. I have a lot of questions for my oncologist. My next step is chemo. I ...

Sunday, July 13, 2008 at 07:07 PMWhat a blessing it is to hear someone with the same approach that I have to this new turn in our lives...trust GOD! When I had to have the needle biopsy, I just said God give me peace no matter what the outcome and I must say, that even though I'm a little scared (more for my children and husband), I have been the one with the positive outlook helping my friends and family cope. Don't get me wrong they are great support but they seem to be taking the news harder than I did. God will give you peace in any circumstance so just keep praying and keep trusting Him. God bless you and your family. I will put you on my prayer list.
You are already blessed,
MD

Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 09:39 PMIt is the same way for me. My husband is taking it harder that I am, although I know it is out of concern and being physically unable to do anything. I think the waiting is the worst part. Right now I am waiting to get my port put in so that I can start my chemo. (next week) It is so hard, I just want them to do it so that I can get it over with. I need to ask God for more patience. I know that each time I have a procedure done that God is standing over me and guiding the doctors hands. He will always be there. Thank you for your posting and please keep in touch.

Thursday, July 24, 2008 at 04:55 PMNever be afraid to ask questions, this your life and you need to know what is the next step. In removing lymph its really tricky because you actually need most of them. Maybe when whom ever did the surgery everything was fine I hope. I always want to think chemo is the last result. I wish that I could help every woman and man with breast cancer or any other cancer because its taking over everyones life children , husbands and other family God love you and he will take care of you so do what you have to do with your Dr.

Friday, July 25, 2008 at 04:04 PMYou are right in trusting God - he has beenwith me every step of the way! I had a mastectomy (left), then chemo and now radiation. I too had 11 nodes removed and 4 were positive. I am receiving radiation now and I get "nuked" in 4 different areas, under the arm, shoulder, breast area and chest wall area. I really don't know what to think either! I don't seem too concerned about them - I am trusting the radiation will take care of any cancer that may be lingering somewhere.
I have had peace from the beginning and I too found myself comforting family members and friends. I have a lot of support from my co-workers and then everyone knows someone that has had or does have breast cancer. I am amazed at the people I run into that are going through treatment or just finished! So I feel that my future is bright and God is taking care of me.
Be strong and lean on Him to get you through!
Be blessed, Lolo

Cindy,
My name is Marci and I also just found out I have breast cancer. They are doing chemo first, then surgery. Sorry to hear it was in you lymph nodes, but it will still all be okay. It sounds like you have a good attitude and strong faith, that helps! You look young, like me, I just turned 40. Good luck and I will be praying for you.
