My Post-Masectomy Path Report: "As good as it can be!"

Path report is back!!!! It's not "humanly" perfect, but I know it is perfect in God's sight so I will take it and be grateful :) Dr. Strickland said its "as good as it can be!" There were a FEW microscopic cancer cells around the sight of the biopsy, but they had changed from Invasive Ductal Carcinoma that is Inflammed to Ductal Carcinoma In Situ which means they were confined to the ducts only AND considered stage 0!!!!! Yep, you read that right, stage ZERO!!!!!!! That's just unheard of with IBC......God's such a show out and I love Him for that ;) Also, out of 11 lymph nodes that were taken and looked at, only 1 showed signs of treatment residue which indicates the chemo killed all the cancer cells that were there and none of them survived treatment and were able to spread!! Overall, all of this means, as of October 30th, the day of my surgery, my body is completely NED, NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE FOUND!!!! This path report indicates I had a full response to treatment and am CANCER FREE as far as any doctor or test can tell!!! We will continue with our treatment plan of radiation to follow healing of the double mastectomy as soon as possible because that step lessens the chances of reoccurrence as much as possible! Thank you all for the prayers and support that have carried our little family through this dark valley. I have never felt the love of God and His people so strongly before, and I hope and pray that each of you can experience this incredibly love at some point throughout your life. It is truly an awe inspiring beauty that can come from none other than our most gracious Lord!! I know I've said it before, but it still holds true through this storm...Let God write your story, it will be beautiful. #Godiswritingmystory

October 14, 2015: Results are IN!

Please forgive the delay in posting. "Craziness" would be a good adjective for my life the last few weeks! I'm gonna try to do better though :) Hang in there with me ok?!?

"But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given unto you." 
Matthew 6:33

My God asked me to trust Him, and although it hasn't always been easy, He has kept His promises!! There was NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE FOUND!!!!!!!! I wish I could hear and see all the happy dances right now wink emoticon What a journey we have all been on!!! Please, stop reading right now and say a prayer and give God ALL the praise for His unwavering love, devotion, and mercy that He has given my family through this journey!!!!!!! < prayers wink emoticon > Now, let me explain just a bit. The PET scan can only pick up cells that are a certain size, so even though it picked nothing up, there could be some smaller cells still lurking that it can't pick up. So, keep those prayers going that there aren't any sneaky, microscopic cells lurking and that we will be able to get that confirmation through pathology of the breast. Also, if you don't mind, pray for knowledge and peace to make and accept our upcoming decisions. Friends, I cannot even begin to tell you all how much your love and support as God's angels here on earth has helped carry us through this journey! We love and thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!! ‪#‎Godiswritingmystory‬ ‪#‎GodkeepsHispromises‬
