You have been down a path, that some may; however many will never, know the shock of a diagnosis such as yours.
Your strength of character and determination to get the best care, and in the mist of battling a serious illness, keeping your witts and Warrior mentality intact, is beyond inspiring, but encouraging to any woman faced with the challenges of a devastating diagnosis.
I am not as tough and resilient as you. I know in every frightening health situation I have gone through, multiple, multiple joint replacements, surviving legionnaires disease. I never experienced anything like what you have been through.
I always say, how can I change worry into something productive.
Worry… What if ? Then what?
We get busy.
As you say, Dr’s you trust, even hours away. It’s about what ever it takes, and that the statement “choose life” means, keep on living and believing for deliverance from the disease, and continued improvement in our health.
I am fortunate to have a tremendous Faith in God, and many people praying for me.

I am beyond blessed however that you have shared your journey with me… It’s personal, and intimate, and it’s your unique story.

I love this support group, with remarkable women such as yourself. We have the courage to tell our stories and what we have been through, and then we can pray and stand strong, and in the gap for each other.

I will keep you updated.
I know right now, I have some concerns. We aren’t human if we don’t. There are some things I am not impervious to, like a frightening diagnosis.
I feel deep down that I am going to be okay. I also keep reminding myself that right now, I just have to show up. My breast surgeon once told me, while I was waiting for my biopsy results.
“ I am your Doctor… I will do the worrying” from that day, those words took me down from high anxiety, to the reality that it’s true. I am in her capable hands.
Blessings and prayers to you 💖
