Praise The Lord!


Praise the Lord that I have come through my bilateral mastectomy with the miracle of having had no pain from the operation.  I was given a morphine pump to use but not even a panado tablet was required. I am still waiting, 2 weeks later, for the pain to arrive!
We had an appointment with the surgeon for my post op check up and to remove the bandages and staples.  What a sight I look!!!!  Would empty Sandy Bay in minutes!!!!!!

An amazing outcome is that the lab tests showed the non cancerous side had formed pre-malignant ductile carcinomas which would have developed into cancer within months or 1 to 2 years!!!!! So, we would have been back to square one again.
Even though I had been cleared of cancer, the lab tests showed that the tumor which was originally 60mm x 50mm had reduced with chemo to the size of a peanut, and was still cancerous and would have grown again. This very small tumor could only be found in a laboratory test as, the oncologist, radiologist or CT scan was not able to detect it.
We are very thankful to the Lord that He has guided us each step of the way. Jesus is the good Shepherd to His sheep.
The journey continues with radiation which has been reduced from 42 to 25 sessions and 15 sessions at 3 weekly intervals of intravenous Herceptin. This is to ensure that any hidden cancer cells in the body will be eradicated.
Thank you for all your prayers and love for us.
