Wow a month has almost gone by since my last post. There is lots to catch up on! I have since finished round three and four of my chemo regiment and let me say they were not without hiccups along the way. Round three was really tough for me, the nausea was horrible. I felt like I was pregnant all over again with that need to eat all the time yet nothing would satisfy that feeling of needing to almost throw up....yet no baby in the end, bummer...! I also had to go to the ER due to my hands, feet, face, and eyes swelling up. They gave me a CT to rule out a very rare and serious complication with the port and blood clots. The scans came back clear and my oncologist said that it was likely an allergic reaction so he put me on steroids and benedryl and that did the trick. For round four I got on top of the nausea and started taking the nausea meds before I felt sick and yes! No nausea. I though again was rushed to the ER one n...

I just wanted to post just a little note on how things are going right now and how you can be praying for us. Today I went in for my 3rd chemo session. I am half way done with the chemo part, woo hoo! I will be going in for an ultra sound next Tuesday to see if the lump has shrunk at all. So please be praying that it will be a positive outcome, would love to go in and have them find no lump! As chemo is getting closer to being done, don't get me wrong I still have another two months to go, but now is the time for us to look into surgeons for my surgeries. As I have researched the different options for plastic surgery to reconstruct I have come across one that produces the best results with the least amount of side effects. It is called the diep flap surgery and it tends to be the most complicated one to do, so therefore not many doctors do it. And with being on a small island my options are very limited and they don't offer that surgery here....
As I was thinking about the title for this blog I was reading through Psalm 91 which is a chapter that my sister gave me back when the lump was just a lump, and the beginning of vs 14 starts, "Because he loves me." Ok so this verse isn't talking about God but rather me, but the statement really does go both ways and man has He been showing me His love. Who would have thought that I would have cancer, me? But God is showing me that even with cancer, even in this season that not one person in their right mind would wish for, He does love me and He does want to shelter me from it and yes He even wants to see me healed of it. I am deserving of His love, and I am special and singled out by Him. I don't know why I struggle with the Father's love for me but I believe He is using this season of my life to reaffirm that love. So hence "Because He loves me!" Most of you know that back in May I was diagnosed with stage 2 or 3 (depending on what doctor y...
