We had our plastic surgery consult today… I was really hoping that there would be this aha moment and we would just know what we needed to do. We left there and some tears were shed… It’s not just a simple remove the lump, fill the void, and life goes on… There are some negative side effects to both of of the options that have us stopping and considering what our next steps will be. Prayers for clear decision making would be greatly appreciated.
We really liked how honest our plastic surgeon was. He wanted to make sure we knew what we were getting into with whatever route we chose. After getting that reality check I started thinking is this our only option… Up until now I’ve stayed away from google… I was sent a link after we found out I had cancer that talked about an OTC drug that had cured cancer in one person. (I struggle with things that seem too good to be true.) In searching more about that I came across a different one (actually it was a combination of two OTC items) that had promising results in breast cancer. It was a study done on the NIH website and has really peaked my interest. I sent a message to my oncologist and I’ll be meeting with him again on Thursday so maybe I’ll know more about it by then??
I’ve had so many people offer to help along the way and I’m so thankful for all the support 🤍. Grandma Jill came and hung out with the kids today while we had our appt. We didn’t tell them so they woke up to a nice surprise. After my appt we went to Caribou Coffee for a little “perk” me up. Not sure if it was my shirt or the fact that I couldn’t keep the tears from flowing (seems like once I start I can’t stop) but there was a free drink attached to my drink order which of course started the waterworks all over again… 🙈 Just when I think I’m composed… I’m not!
I have been praying and checking for an update….(((Hugs)))) Never be ashamed of the tears, God holds them in His bottle. Psalm 56:8. Continuing to pray for peace on this journey. He will guide. ❤️❤️❤️
PS Love your t-shirt!
Thank you Kelly! ❤️
So sorry to hear that things are more complicated than you hoped. I was praying it would be the surgery, recovery, and gone. The prayers will of course continue. Please let us know if there is ANYTHING we can do. Love the photos, what a beautiful family!
Thanks Kim! ❤️
I keep praying for you Cassie. May the Lord give you peace along the way as you learn more and may your way be guided by His presence. “Be strong and of good courage, be not frightened neither be dismayed for the Lord your God is with yo wherever you go.” Josh. 1:9
Thank you Josie! ❤️
We will keep praying that God will give wisdom to the doctors on what to do. It would be awesome if they said you could give the OTC stuff a try But in everything Gods walking with you through it all and has a plan! It’s just hard when we can’t see the whole picture yet.
Thanks Nat! ❤️ Yes, it’s sometimes hard to see the forrest from the trees. But God is in control and we can rest in that!
Cassie, this post nearly brought me to tears too. I pray for wisdom for your doctors, answers to your questions, and the sweet presence and comfort of Jesus in your life now more than ever. Take care of yourself. Praying you will be shown the right direction in which to go.
Thanks Jen! ❤️
