Well, now I have a solid date where my next chapter starts. June 5, 2012. I even have a time: 8am. (Of course, I have to be there early to get registered.)
So you're wondering what the heck I'm referring to. If you've seen the previous pages you have an idea of what's going on. But just in case you came right to this page...
I was diagnosed with stage 1C ovarian cancer in May after having a major surgery. The date above refers to my first scheduled chemotherapy treatment. My OB/GYN, who has been great through this whole thing, said that usually this form of cancer isn't discovered this early, and by the time it is discoved it really becomes a matter of doing a combination of surgery, chemo AND radiation to save the person's life. The way this was discovered was a miracle in itself...but that's a story for another time.
You know how sometimes when you deal with medical stuff things don't seem real to you until you hear it or see it in black & white? Well, that would be me about now. I know that God is with me and has already healed me (Isaiah 53:5, Amplified Bible). That there are SO many people that have come to me and expressed their support for me and have prayed and are praying for me (and my DH = Dear Hubby). But as the date gets closer I'm finding myself having those moments of fear, anger, not understanding why this happened. But then God reminds me that He's got this under control, and that He uses people to minister to me in special ways. Like the sister I'm talking to now while I'm on the phone letting me know about what to expect on my 1st treatment. And the sisters that prayed for me at my group meeting last night. (You know who you are....thank you very much.)
OK, life goes on. Let me get going around here. Have a blessed Friday!
