Keep the faith

It was November of 2012, my sister had been diagnosed with breast cancer and I was overdue for my mammogram...so I went. What was the chances of me having breast cancer, right? No wrong. I remember sitting at the kitchen table....cutting up peppers when I Got the call from my Dr. I had gone for a biopsy still thinking nothing was wrong because I felt no lumps....but I heard the words...you have cancer. I listened to the Dr..telling me my options. After hanging up the phone, I didn't cry, I didn't say why me...I went to my room, got on my knees and prayed to God to be with me through this journey. The cancer was so small it was almost undetected,,,but thanks to God it was. My sister and I did treatments together, lost hair together, was sick together, and laughed together....8 rounds of chemo, 36 radiatin treatments. The support of the most amazing Children in the whole wide world, who were at every treatment and was with me as I went thru...and an awesome husband who told me I was beautiful even when I didn't feel it... My family and Facebook friends encouraged me every step of the way through...and my Father in Heaven who held my hand and touched me with his healing power. whew...what more can I say. Last week got my mammogram, all clear, all good..it wasn't easy. But God carried the weight and I am grateful. Don't think because you don't feel anything you are ok....get your mammograms ladies...it can save your life...it did mine...
