"God Can Do It All!"

One of many days that I have feared the most...has apparently come and gone. Today was the day that I would hear my entire path report, be restaged, find out what kind of cancer and all about my treatment plan, but as my life goes...I had to deal with a little more before all that was "revealed." My mastectomy wound began to swell, turn color and cause me to run a low grade temp around two days ago. Several nights ago, I woke up and my shirt was soaked with fluid. Jumped up and saw that it was coming from my incision. I called up to the doctor and since I was coming in the next day I endured, even though they did give me the option of coming then. My doctor did an ultrasound and found that there was a hematoma, fluid and infection, so he opened the incision, cleaned it out and now I am wrapped up like a mummy and will have to experience more draining. I will go Monday morning for my port to be put in for chemo, but won't start treatment until mid July, so I can heal good first. I must say, I was a little glad. The doctor then sat my husband and I down to tell us all the news. He is such a Godly man, who let's you know up front that he can do some, I can do some...but GOD can do it ALL! He began by saying that my tumor was HER2+ which scared me to death. He went on to say that everything looked good, all my scans, blood, margins...there were 5 lymph nodes out of 14 which were positive and that I would need six months of chemo, radiation and a drug called Herceptin. I have to tell you that all of this scares me to death, but I have come to realize that whatever it takes to try to stay alive here on this earth with your husband, children and sweet darling grandchildren, I will do it and more. God bless this day and all the saints who have prayed for me and my family while waiting this news.
