"Lead Me to the Rock!"

Saturday, June 8th // 9:30 am Sorry journal, I've been a little lazy, my breast, or should I say -- the "missing breast" -- seems to be healing. I still have my drains in. They are such a nuisance but so glad I am able to have them. I was seeing a little darker blood in my "breast drain" so decided to call the doctor's office and see if that was normal since the weekend was near. I spoke to "Willie" who is the nurse in charge of test results, etc. She assured me that it was just "old" blood and would probably get thick as well and for me to "milk" the tubes! She then told me that my path report had come in. I was scared to hear but she forged on. She said my nodes were positive and the DCIS had become invasive. Chemo would be a necessity. This news upset me, but it was already news that we suspected. My doctor will be meeting with us in a week to give me details of the margins, treatment and prognosis. I have learned that cancer is a roller coaster. Good news one day and bad the next. I know that I have a Mighty Savior who is bigger than me, and is unfailing. My scripture reading for today was Psalm 61 and I particularly loved verse two. "When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the Rock that is higher than I!" Wow what a wonderful promise-to know that I have a Savior who is bigger, higher than me!
