I have been having some trouble lately that has sapped my strength away from me. I try not to stress, but this issue simply stole my energy. I found a lump under my left arm. It has been sore off and on under there for the past several months--like a boil was trying to come up, but nothing ever did. When I found the lump my Dad said it was time to go to the dr. I made the appointment the same day. He never says things like that.
Today was that appointment. The dr. said that he thinks there is infection there, a boil, that hasn't come to the surface. To make sure that the cancer has not returned, he wants me to keep the mammogram that I had already scheduled. He said that if the lymph nodes (swollen and that is what I was feeling as a lump) were this involved that if any cancer was present, it would certainly be found on my mammogram. It is scheduled for August 6. We are blessed to have digital mammography here. It is a more thorough test that we used to have.
I am praising God for answered prayers! I am asking those of you who will to join me in praying for good news from the upcoming test.
Be patient with me while I work to get back to my normal, creative self!
