I have a prayer request. I am having cancer surgery on Sept 16. Less than two weeks away. I'm having a mastectomy, with reconstruction. It all gets done (or at least started) on the table. Please pray for my fear, which is usually at the manageable level. And that I make it through surgery. I'll be in the hospital for one day. I opted to stay with my surgical oncologist that operated on me two years ago (cancer then too) for many reasons, one being he's THE breast cancer surgeon in Middle GA. Trouble is, after I was diagnosed, I've moved and he's now a bit more than an hour away. Still, I need to stay with him. I just couldn't trust anyone else. Also there's an excellent, skilled plastic surgeon down there that I will have. I don't know how I'll get back and forth afterwards, for the further work on reconstruction, but I will just have to find a way. Thank you for your prayers, my FRiends Shimmer
Praying for you.
Prayers lifted....
Please add my 15 year old granddaughter Hallee to the prayer list.
My 15 year old granddaughter Hallee was given a vaccine in school, until then she was a perfectly healthy, active Teen. Into gymnastic ribbons, snowboarding, skiing, horse back riding. A few weeks later she has RA, Fibromyalgia and several other autoimmunes. Suspect the vaccine is Gardasil. She is NOT sexually active, her mom keeps her to busy with sports for that and takes her every where.
Prayers up for your Shimmer.
Prayers up for you, FRiend, regarding your upcoming chemo.
(Sorry to be to the thread so late, but I have been away.)
You’re not too late! I still have a drain from surgery, yes, one left, even after six weeks. It’s not even starting to slow down yet and I will start chemo the Tues after it comes out, which might be a while yet!
My new oncologist is so thoughtful. He is putting me on Tues so that it won’t have to be skipped on Thanksgiving or Christmas. And if I have a blood cell count to be done (which will happen regularly this time) it will be on a Wednesday. Nice dr.
Sounds very hopeful. Good that you have a great doc that you have faith in. Hugs to you.
It was actually quite difficult to leave my previous oncologist. I loved those nurses. If you could ever look forward to chemo for any reason, I did love those nurses. Superlative, every single one.
They reassured me when my sweetheart broke it off in the middle of chemo, they cheered when he came back, they cried with me when I got breast cancer a second time.
by the way, sweetheart left again a year after chemo. But I’m better off.
May our Blessed Lord watch over you.
