The Road That Led Me Here

As most of you know, I was diagnosed with Tripple Negative Breast Cancer in 2009. I had surgery in Oct of that year and recovered with great results followed by great results at all of my 6 month check ups. That was until the last one. Some of my blood work came back abnormal and I had what seemed to be something more than scar tissue show up. After many many test and endless waiting it has been determined that it has returned. I met with my Oncologist today to go over the results of my PET scan and Bone Scan. It appears it has spread to 4 axillary nodes and the mammary node. There is also a suspicious spot on my right hip at the top of my pelvic bone. Now before you start to feel sorry for me, please dont:) I still feel great, and although this is not good news my faith has not wavered and has only grown stronger! I believe God has a plan for me, and through his divine providence I will eventually realize what that plan is.

My Dr. was very upfront with us and told us that if I follow the available treatment plan, the Cancer would almost always return. Given the aggressive form of Cancer I have. In all honesty I dont have much faith in conventional Cancer treatment, especially with the diagnoses I was given. I believe God has a better way. And I believe I am on the right road to finding healing. A few months back I "stumbled" upon something that I believe was meant to be. It was an eye opening documentry of an amazing Dr. in Texas who has perfected a treatment for Cancer. I have done extensive research and soul searching and believe this is the place for me. They have sucessfully cured many people with Cancer and women in my situation. I cant explain the peace and knowing that this is right, but it just is. I am completely convicted that this is the road I should take. My family and close friends are on board and support me 200 percent.

The treatment is costly and not all insurance covers it. But it pales in comparison to conventional treatment, being about one fifth of the cost of conventional treatment . It is a FDA approved clinical trial as of this year. Brian and I will be heading to Texas for a consultation with 20 plus Drs. Monday April the 25th to go over all of my previous records and test results. Once I agree to treatment I will head back to Texas where I will stay for 2 to 3 weeks to began my treatment. Once again it is very costly and most all of the funding with be coming out of pocket which we dont have, but I believe God will provide.

This is a journey I never thought I would have to take. But in the midst of what many would consider a tragedy, I feel completely at peace. Through this I feel like I have been given new eyes. I view life very different now. I plan on continuing to give God all the glory through this process. Without my faith in Him and his guidence I would be a lost sheep. Thank you all for the relentless prayers and thoughts. You will never know what your support means to me. I feel so blessed to be surounded by such amazing family and friends. I love you all!
