I never thought I would hear these words: "It is Cancer! It is Malignant! Your MRI is 5plus!" No never me! It Has been over a year now since I went under surgery to remove both breast, and the beginning or reconstruction surgery. I felt ugly, and remembering looking at myself and said to the mirror "I look like smushed cookies!"
No one ever told me how bad it was going to be to go through reconstruction surgeries. (5 so far.) It was extremely bad, and the pain from the doctor taking tissue from a muscle from my back and graphing it over the front of me to make new boobs is not anything I can really describe, but I can tell you this it has not stopped. What I was told and what was done to me was not the same. I have scarring from by back all around to the other side of my back. The weekly injections were horrific and the extenders felt like barbwire. It was truly torture! The implants have not found themselves at home, they move and pinch and pull on me and tender to the touch. This is after over a year. It has been a very painful, frustrating year, yet I am also very grateful. I have a bigger God, bigger than Cancer. He healed me completely from the Cancer that day on the operating table. The tissue they removed was 100 percent gone. The doctors were amazed and confused. No chemo or radiation! I've been very blessed. My surgeon said He was sorry he had to remove the very large masses, but it was because of all the praying people we had praying for me God heard their prayers and healed me for His glory. So I must share that nothing is impossible! I went through a lot, and God will get me through a lot more. I believe He has a lot more for me to do. I want to encourage anyone facing the time when a doctor tells you the same, that there is HOPE and there are MIRACLES.
