Thanks for your emails. I've had an emotional week and lots of school activities where I've had to get myself squared away and just go. Thankfully, this week has NO class days, and we are home to do school and get ready for my surgery whenever that gets scheduled. I find I'm doing a lot of nesting.
So, last week I got the results back from the genetic testing. The BRCA1 and BRCA2 were both NEGATIVE! We are all very thankful. That just means that the girls are in the probability of the general population for getting breast cancer. No genetic tendency and below 8.6 percent for family history.
The two biopsies came back the same, infiltrating lobular carcinoma. So, that means more than just the spot I found.
Today, we meet with the surgeon for his recommendation. I really have no idea what that will be yet.
Last Thursday, I met with the plastic surgeon, who laid out all those possibilities. I feel quite overwhelmed. Have no idea how to make a decision on which way to go yet. I pray I will just know when it's time, that the Spirit with give me peace.
I wish I felt more brave. I really don't want to do this . . . see now I'm crying again. But, that's okay. It's just how it works.
Love you, my family and friends, and knowing you're there praying for and thinking of me is HUGE.
Lord you know all from the beginning to the end.Thank you that you only give us what we need to know when we need to know it. Like a father who carrys the heavy suitcase because we are to little and unable let us appreciate the love involved there and not clamor to be more than we are at this time. Thank you that you are growing us up to be the women and men you see us to be through Christ. Give Mila and the family that continuing peace.

ReplyDeleteMila: You are stronger than you know. The fact that you are willing to share your journey through this blog and share your true and raw emotions is proof that God has given you a strength beyond measure. My friend, Heidi, is a breast cancer survivor and has been cancer free for almost 2 years now. God truly used her in our lives during the process as I know He will do the same through you. Remember, His strength shines through your weekness and other women are watching you, your girls are learning from you and God is using you. Fight like a girl, Mila - God's sweet and unique daughter!!
