"Come to Me with your defenses down, ready to be blessed and filled with My Presence. Relax, and feel the relief of being totally open and authentic with Me. You can have no other relationship like this one. Take time to savor it's richness, basking in My golden Light."
We have definitely had our defenses down through this diagnosis and the chemo and have been so blessed by God and filled with His Presence. Today was like Christmas morning to me! I woke up and thanked God for the past several weeks for being by my side when I didn't think I could stand to walk into that chemo room to be poked and given drugs intravenously that would make me sick and weak for the next week. I thanked Him for my huge support group at work, church, and with friends and family. I thanked him for blessing me with a wonderful husband and a wonderful best friend and my sweet sweet boys. I had so many friends and coworkers visit during chemo and help pass the time. The nurses called them my entourage. Never in my life did I ever dream I would get cancer, need chemo, lose my hair and at times not want to get out of bed all day. My sister Vickie gave me the scripture, "God will not bring you to it if he won't get you through it." It is so true.
It was so awesome to watch those last few drops go in today and know it is the last of the nasty chemo. I will have to get Herceptin for the next year but it has no side effects. It will be every 3 weeks and I will keep the port until it is done. But tonight we are doing the happy dance and celebrating that this phase is over. We are going to Florida in a week then I will get scans on November 14 and see Dr. Schmidt November 21 to get the surgery plan. I definitely feel like the lump is very small.
Thank you for all of your prayers. It has definitely gotten us through this. We are basking in His golden light!
