This begins a rough draft of emails I sent out to family and friends through the journey of discovering I had breast cancer, invasive ductal carcinoma, quite large at 3.7 cm., mastectomy and tram flap reconstruction. I hope this blog will help another woman (or man) that is walking down the same path.
Hello Family, Just wanted to tell you that I have just gotten home from having a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy on my breast today. I have had a history of cysts and felt certain they were going to tell me that is what it was. Unfortunately, the Dr. has said that she has a very serious degree of certainty that it is breast cancer. It is a rather large mass but she did not see it in my lymph nodes and if that holds true then at least it is contained. The official test results will not be back until late Monday. Please be in special prayer that the Lord's will be done in my life. My natural preference would be for them to be wrong about the cancer but if not, pray that it be used for God's glory. Best love to you all,Liz
P.S. Honestly, I am really doing okay with the news so far, but it is especially hard on my family so please remember them in your prayers too.
