I heard from Emory last night and I am scheduled for my consultation on November 17th. We do not have a date for the surgery yet and that will be decided by the doctor when I see him next Wednesday.
I must say I am really ready to get this out of me! It seems even more strange to me but I can feel a lot more lumps on the left now. I am not sure if the spots were displaced after my excision or what it going on but it is weird.
I have emailed my advisor at school to let him know that I will be coming back ASAP, but that I am not sure if that means the Spring or the Fall. I of course would like for it to be the Spring but this is a multi step process, as far as the reconstruction goes. I hope to know more, again, on Wednesday.
I have a lot of people calling, emailing and tracking me down to give me hugs and I just wanted to say, "Thank you!" It really means a lot to know that there are so many people out there supporting me and praying for me and my family. I have a great community of friends and family! ;)
God is great! He has given me strength and understanding that can only come from Him. Now if I could have a little more patience, which I have prayed for for years. Children....I think that says enough!
I pray that all of you receive the peace that I have in any tough situation you are facing. We all have our seasons and sometimes it seems like they run together and are never ending. God can help you find joy in everything!
Until next time...
Cassy...
ReplyDeleteBeverly told me about your pending surgery...I found the blog and will be following your progress.
My favorite verses are Isaiah 43:1-3...they seem appropriate for you too. They have sustained me through many "valleys" in my life.
My prayers are with you...I am going to have my prayer group interceed for you also...we all are firm believers in the power of prayer...we each have testimonies to the AWESOME nature of our Lord and Savior.
God bless you and your family!

Thought of you with this verse:
ReplyDeleteGod is sovereign. God is in control of our lives. His sovereignty is the attribute by which He rules His entire creation. To be sovereign, God must be all-knowing and all-powerful. 1 Chronicles 29:11-13
He knew this was going to happen, and He has equipped you to glide on His grace and mercy as you walk this road. My prayers for Wednesday!
Love, Sums
