After hearing the devastating news that my 32 yr old niece KeeKee was diagnosed with Stage IV aggressive Breast Cancer, I scheduled my overdue mammogram. I have always had fibrocystic breast changes and pain during certain times of the month for years. After my 2nd NEGATIVE Needle BIOPSY, the Holy Spirit urged me to get an EXCISIONAL BIOPSY and definitively find out what this CALCIFICATION really was. So I consulted a Surgical Oncologists who surprisingly recommended a THIRD Needle biopsy. I explained that was not what I wanted and since she was a surgeon to just simply excise the calcifications to be sent to pathology for testing. The doctor said again she does not recommend Excisional Biopsy surgery due to risk of Anesthesia, then bleeding and infection. As a RN, I knew very well the risks and was willing to proceed with JESUS as my Pilot on this journey. Finally, the doctor agreed to perform the surgery and I was dx with DCI Stage 0 Left breast...EARLIEST form of Cancer!!! Long story short, the doctor called me in her office and told me I had CANCER and pointed out that I came to office alone. I calmly reminded her that "JESUS was always with me and I am NEVER alone...I may have BC but BC don't have ME! I belong to JESUS and by His Stripes I AM HEALED!" My surgery was successful (left breast Total Mastectomy with 5 node removal) and I had very little pain during recovery (numbness). GOD IS STILL ON HIS THRONE!!!! I AM HEALED!! NO MORE CAN THE ENEMY Attack my Left breast! #stay Prayed up ya'll #EARLY Detection SAVES LIVES...listen to your inner Spirit Woman...let it be your guide too!
****Sadly, my niece transitioned on my actual Birthday nine months after her chemo began. She is truly my GUARDIAN ANGEL! :-)
