Breast Biopsy

[Elda90042]

1/15/10---Had Biopsy done- drilled vacuum extracted.  It wasn't as terrible as I thought it would be.  Perhaps because I "wasn't there".  I was disconnected and distant.  I didn't even want to be there.  The ultrasound technician explained everything that was going to happen.  The doctor came in and injected four shots into my  breast, it numbed the tissue.  She proceeded to stick a needle into the breast and while assisted by the scan machine find the "mass" (it was deep) I didnt feel pain, just alittle tugging here and there but no pain.  after a while it got annoying but i kept staring into this picture on the wall of a purple petunia and kept asking Jesus to be with me.  Eventually she had reached the mass and put a "marker" a tiny  piece of metal onto the mass- this was so that any doctor in the future would be able to see where the biopsy was done and or also if It is cancer- so when the surgeon goes in to remove it- he will have no problems finding it.   After that was done, I had another mammogram- then I went home.

 

Now I await the results.

 I have this deep strong feeling that I will have cancer.  And I am not afraid!

1/17/10 ---Have Breast cancer!  But I will not let it defeat me!  With Christ I can and will overcome this BIG TIME!!!  This is just a bend in the road and I have to find my way back onto the straight road to Salvation!

 

 

 Thursday, 1/21/10---Met with Surgeon- mass was not 3cm it was 1.3 which was so refreshing!  Doctor was very thorough and explained everything so easy to understand.   He said he would take the master lymph node (Sentinel node) and send to pathology exam before even beginning to remove mass from breast.  He said if Sentinel node is infected with cancerous cells then entire lymph nodes will have to be removed.  Total surgery time will be 15 minutes to remove mass, but obviously prep and recover time will add to that.  Good thing is....I will be able to go home that afternoon.

 

 Tonite I realized that all the previous sufferings were meant for this.  To prepare me for this cancer I was going to go through.  I was being made strong and I kept asking God, what more am I supposed to be learning?  And What is this all for?  I knew He was doing a work in me -just not knowing for what and at this moment I knew for what.  I am strong enough to get through this and I am soooo gonna get through this.  There ain't no "IF's " "ands"  or "buts" about it!

I knew you were going to get through it too, Elda.  I always knew it.  That's just who you are  - strong in faith for the Lord.  Yes, there was a reason.  There's always a reason.  What an example you are!

Love you, 

Debby

Good for you to look at it as a test from GOd. When I had Bcancer I couldn't understand why God would allow me to get something that I always feared. Now I am almost 4 years cancer free and don't even obsess about cancer anymore. I just put it in Jesus hands. You will be fine. Praise God

Thank you for sharing this journey with us Elda.  We seldom know what God is preparing us for when we go through trials, but there's always a lesson or a purpose to them.  God will continue to see you through this.  HUGGS

When God is in our lives there aren't any "IF, ANDS, OR, BUTS!" Our choice has been made to serve Him...As long as our hearts and eyes is set on him, he will guide us and take care of us....All the while we are growing..God uses the testimony of others to show that He gives us strength and guidance because without him we are truly lost. God is always right there with you, Elda. I love you and appreciate you!

Be still and know that He is God.  He's got everything under control.  You belong to Him and He will get you through this but with Glory and Honor.  I praise God for the Holy Spirit in YOU!

You are on the rock!
