FROM THE MAILBAG

Update from Dawn: If anyone really wants to know...here's what I know about my breast cancer.

Stage: 2B

This Friday, May 2nd, *tomorrow* I will have a PET scan.

Next Tuesday, May 6th, I begin chemotherapy. I will have 4 "treatments" (is that what they're called?), each are 3 weeks apart. So, I figure, if all goes as planned: May 6, May 27, June 17, and July 8. The doctor said this was the plan, but depending on how I do, she may add a 5th and maybe a 6th treatment.

I then start 7 weeks of radiation.

Then, I will take Femara & Armidex for 5 years.

One more thing...They looked at my veins, and I don't need a port, so I'm not having one put in.

Maybe it's too much info. I never knew anyone with breast cancer before. I'm a sidewalk counselor for the Coalition for Life at our local Planned Parenthood. I tell these young women, through the fence, that with an abortion, especially if it is their first pregnancy, and in the first trimester, their chances for breast cancer goes up.

I never had an abortion. Nobody in my family has ever had any kind of cancer (that I know of). This was a total surprise. I thank all for the prayers. I could feel them carrying me through this time. I'm going to make it. The Good Lord Willing!

Of course, I'm offering it up! All of you, and your intentions are in my intentions. Always and forever. God Bless.

Ladder of Divine Ascent excerpt: Step 5- "On painstaking and true repentance"

34. Let no one who laments expect assurance at his departure. For the unknown is not sure. Spare me, through assurance, that I be refreshed before I go hence unassured (of salvation). Where the Spirit of the Lord is, the bond is loosed. Where there is profound humility, the bond is loosed. But let those who are without these two assurances make no mistake: they are bound.
