Finding Out Friday
My title says it all. We should be able to find out what my pathology report says on Friday.
I did find out that they were unable to coordinate my appointments with my Oncologist and Dr. Knox in a timely manner. So, looks like two trips to Dallas next week. It shouldn't happen often, and Dallas was, afterall, our choice. So, no complaints! (If you are detecting just a tad of "self-discipline" in that last sentence, you are right!)

A sweet lady encouraged me at church last night, and prayed over me during prayer time. She has a sister, I believe, who is 10 year survivor of breast cancer. One of her commments concerned our girls being able to see and remember how we relied on and drew strength from the Lord. That is my hope.
It is a little paradoxical...they are so young they don't understand what is going on. Annaleigh knows Mommy has a bad boo-boo on her breast, and that we are asking Jesus to help the medicine make it better. Ellabeth understands less than that. Their age somewhat protects them from the fearful feelings in all this, though I don't believe entirely.
However, the very age that protects them, also prevents them from understanding and perceiving all the blessings in this time. It might especially prevent them from remembering. They see and feel the hugs, and hear the prayers. (When the Elders prayed for us, Ellabeth leaned over and kissed one of the men's hands on Mark's shoulder. She won a heart that night!) But, will they remember? We are seeing the love, heart, and hands of Jesus in this time, and I don't want them to miss it. But, I can't help that they are 2 and 3.
I will have to do my best to remember for them. And...if something goes terribly wrong here, it is up to you all to tell them, o.k.?
