Monday-Went in for mammogram and PAP. Told my PAP appointment had been cancelled. Was able to fit me in later with another doctor, so went and did mammogram first with Candy. Dr.Deol found a lump, able to pull up mammogram and see it in Dr office. Told I needed to have an ultrasound.
Tues-Kaiser called to make the appontment. Told there was an available time on Wed. Had plans with Suzy so told them I could do it on Friday. Once off the phone thought twice about scheduling it and called back to make it on Wed. Not too concerned at this point.
Wed-Went in for another mammogram again I was able to get Candy. Radiologist came in and said he saw something suspicious. Went and did the ultrasound. Radiologist came in after and said hat he wanted me to have a biopsy and that they had an appointment later that day. Went home to grab lunch and headed right back. Thought about not calling anyone so as not to worry anone, but that left me by myself to do this. Ended up texting a few people to let them know what was going on. Had the biopsy done. Was getting a bit anxious at this point. Got a little anxious during the proceedue. Was told the results would be in Friday maybe Monday. Texted and called a few more people with the update and to ask for prayer. Asking specifically that the results would come quickly and would be benign.
Thurs-Spent the day with Suzy. Took a two hour walk. Helped to keep my mind off everything.
Fri-had lots of anxiety this morning so went for a long bike ride. Felt better for a while. Got the call from Dr Rebelus that the results weren't in and wouldn't get them til Monday. Lost it after that. Had been gearing up to know one way or another. Felt very weary. The not knowing or waitig was very hard for me. Decided to call Wendy Mellow at Kaiser and make an appoitment for Monday. She quickly called me back and said that she talked to Dr Rebeus and was told that the results would be ready Sat morning and that he was coming in and would see me. I know this was an answer to my cries and the prayers of others.
Sat-Got up ad went to Cadence. Sindy had spent the night to be with me and go to see the doctor with me. Being at Cadene was good medicine and I shared with my small group who prayed for me. Went to the appointment at 1:00. Told it was cancer, grade 2-3 tumor. Lumpectomy, Radiation. Chemo? Hormones? Surgeon will call you next week. Actually felt releaved. Just to know what it was helped me. Texted everyone to let them know and was encouraged the rest of the day with phone calls, texts, e-mails, and visits. God took care of me. He felt near to me. The Journey begns.
Psalm 61:2
From the ends of the earth I call to you. I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
