On Oct 16, 2013, I noticed a lump, and by Oct 21, I was diagnosed with breast
cancer. I already knew it, but hearing it confirmed was still a shock.
For the next week and a half, I had many procedures, evaluations, and
emotional visits with doctors and surgeons. I now know that the tumor is
3 cm, and the good news is that there doesn't seem to be cancer
anywhere else in my body. But mine is at stage 2, and advancing
rapidly, so I will have to start chemotherapy quickly, on Mon, Nov 4.
I will have 20 weeks of treatment followed by surgery. Thank you to my
family who has been by my side every step of the way, and to all of you
who have reached out, offering your prayers, love, and support. I have
never felt more blessed, and the love that surrounds me will give me the
strength to get through this journey and heal.

ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing women, wife, and mother. At times we come across obstacles in life. We don’t understand why they are there but Lorna and I want to let you know that we are here for you all the way. These hurdles tend to bring you closer with all of those who love you and most importantly with your family. You know that I consider Roland my brother so by default you are my sis too! I am sending you all my strength through this journey. Together there is no stopping us in this fight. We love you guys and we are here to help with whatever you need.

Thinking and praying for you as you start your journey. Remember Jesus is with you through this time too! He said he would never leave you nor forsake you. Your faith and love of God will get you through this victoriously. The love of family and friends is God's gift to you because God is love.
