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.  So this means that if I want to go with the diep flap surgery I will have to go to the mainland to get it done.  Right now we are looking into costs of going off island with our insurance and what it all entails.  If you could all please be praying that God would give us wisdom in what to do and if it is to go and and have this surgery on the mainland that God would open up the doors for us to go and that the finances would come in.

Thank you everyone!

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 you

Woooohooo!!  Chemotherapy is done!  Two weeks ago I finally finished off the 6th and final round of chemo.  I was very tentative about even doing it knowing how it made me feel and not sure if I was able to stand it mentally.  But I did it, I finished, and boy does it feel great!  Such a relief.  Thank you all for praying.  My last two rounds were without allergic reaction and went smoothly.  I have been told that chemo is the toughest part of this whole process, we shall see if that is the truth. Wow how the time flies.  It has been six months since I found out I had a cancer and it has been four months of chemo.  I still can't believe half a year has gone by already.  So now that the chemo is done I get a bit of a breather this month and then I have my first surgery scheduled for the 30th of November.  I will be going in for a single masectomy and a lymph node dissection and it will be done here in Hawaii.  I also already have my reconstruction surgery scheduled and that will t
