God effectively changed my life forever on August 8th, 2008, when my doctor confirmed after many weeks of fear and worry, that I had invasive, stage 2 DCIS of the left breast and a very large, unpalpable tumor at 3.8 cm. In my mind, the only option was a left mastectomy which we scheduled for 9/26. All praise to the Lord, the sentinel node biopsy was negative and the Oncotype Dx gene study of the tissue indicated no opportunity of recurrence so I did not have to submit to the rigors of radiation and chemo...blessed yet again! My faith and the love of my amazing family and friends got me thru this most challenging time. My husband Jeff and I are celebrating my 1 year cancer free by participating in the Race for the Cure in Nashville on 10/10...God is Good!
