Sunday Family Update

Well this past week was interesting.  I did not go into surgery because it turned out that we needed more information before we proceeded.  The next day we can get all the hospital, doctors, pathology, and surgery prep supplies together is on Friday of this week.  We have been learning a lot this past week by visiting more doctors, taking x rays, and giving blood for testing.  I am so grateful that Mike has been able help.  He is amazing, I always knew that but I such a renewed appreciation and love for him.  

So Friday is the big day, I will be having a single mastectomy with a sentinel node biopsy (where they take just a few lymph nodes to see if they have cancer). From there we will see what the next steps are.   

Thank you so much for all your love and concern, prayers, and fasting.  Your support really gave me power to keep going on those days that I am feeling sorry for myself.  

Love you all!

  3. Jenny, I was so shocked to hear about your cancer. My prayers and heart go out to you. I was inspired by your attitude towards this challenge. I know that in my life some of the greatest growth and blessings have been the result of challenges that have brought me to my knees. I suspect this is the same for you. We will keep you in our prayers. Love you, Ruth Ann Evenson
