Update

We're both okay!  

Thanks for your prayers.  Both my sister and I were given good news.  She's just a little lumpy, and the lump my doctor felt was not really a lump at all.  My official diagnosis:  Dense Breast Tissue.   In other words, my boobs are dumb.

I am glad I went to a breast clinic.  The surgeon I consulted with really put my fears about breast cancer to rest.  Everyone on staff was extremely helpful, and so thorough.  I never felt rushed which was very impressive.  I can't praise them enough.  And to make it all even better, they served me tea in a china cup with a saucer.  Lovely.  It almost made me forget what I was there for.   They will get many referrals from me!

Praising God,

Yesterday I went to my doctor.  I have been having some pain in my breast.  I thought it was because Prince Charming is nursing only once per day.  The doctor felt a lump.  For those of you who don't know, breast cancer took my mother's life.  Today would have been her 61st birthday.

The first person I called was my sister.  After we cried together, she told me she's been having some breast pain too.  She called her physician and was seen yesterday as well.  Strangely, she also has a lump of concern and will be seen by a specialist on Friday.

Today I go to a breast clinic for a breast ultrasound.  Other than that, I don't know what else will happen.  The doctor yesterday told me he thought it felt like a cyst.  I pray he's right...or better yet, that whatever he felt was nothing.  I am more than a little anxious about this right now, worried both for me and my sister.   I covet your prayers for both of us. 

Blessings,

Friends of ours could really use your prayers.  Their two year old son recently had surgery to remove a brain tumor.  They have been told it is malignant.  Today he will have tests to see if it has spread to his spinal fluid.  

Will you join me in praying for "Prince Charlee"?

Thanks.  I pray you have a blessed day!
