Surgeon Visit
I saw my surgeon, Dr. Roxanne Davenport today. We concluded that a lumpectomy and radiation is the treatment of choice. I will have the lumpectomy on Feb. 10. The radiation treatment I have chosen to do, if all borders come back clean from the lumpectomy, is mammosite radiation.

As you will read this treatment takes 5 days with dosages 2 times a day. I chose this over the 30+ treatments over 6 weeks period. Because I am stage 0 and the cancer is confined to the milk duct and not spread this direct radiation will be very effective.

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!
Continue to pray that all borders will be clean and that we can work this plan!

NEW YEAR, NEW CHALLENGES
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! I pray everyone had a great 2009 and are looking forward to serving our Lord Jesus in 2010.
It has been a long time since I have sat down and thought about blogging again. I have a friend who has a beautiful blog, and I love visiting it for the calmness it brings. I haven't figured out how she laid it out..maybe one day she will show me, huh, Carolyn!!
I decided I needed to blog again because of another bump in my road of life. On Dec. 22 I was diagnosed with DCIS breast cancer. It is in the very early stages and I have had a number of tests and will see a surgeon on Jan. 29. I really don't know alot about this cancer but have done research, asked friends and family who have gone through it. I have literature from the American Cancer Society to read from a friend who volunteers with Reach to Recovery. A lot of reading and digesting to do. I, also, contacted a former high school classmate who now works in radiation, and she sent me a wonderful email with lots of things to ask the surgeon when I go.
I know God has brought me to this point in my life, I don't know why, but I trust Him for whatever lies ahead. As the scripture at the top of my blog says, He is my Rock! He has brought me through lots of medical trials and He remains steadfast, true, forgiving and loving. I pray I can exalt Him through all this.
I need to thank a lot of people for prayers, cards, phone calls, emails that have already been given to and for me.
I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me! Phil 4:13

SUMMER IS OVER
Summer has come and gone and we haven't been out of the state of Virginia! It seems strange as we were on the road so much coming to Virginia while we lived in Ohio. We are planning a trip to Hilton Head in October and I am so ready.
Other than life with Lucy things have been pretty much the same. I have gotten really involved in facebook and a couple of their applications, like Farmtown, and Farmville. I have met up with old high school friends as we talk and farm together. We did a girls night out where 11 of us got together for dinner. We had lots of laughs! We hope to do it again sometime.
Donnie has remained busy doing yard work and golfing. Hope he gets to continue to golf into the fall. He really enjoys it and is out of the house for about 6 hrs!! The only draw back to that is, I have Lucy duty!! She is a sweet dog, but man she can try my patience when she gets things she isn't suppose to have and we begin the chase through the house. Oh joy!! Seems like she always manages to land in the crate for a while when he is gone!!
Aaron and Allison continue to do well and stay busy with work. Aaron is still waiting for the opening of the SuperCenter in Clearbrook, which might happen next year. Allison remains busy in her job as a real estate closer. Quinn and his business is doing well also. It is so nice to call them up and meet for lunch or do dinner.
Mom and Dad continue to do well "for old people" as she says. It is a blessing to be close to them. My sister, has been in several times this year and we always have a good time shopping and eating and laughing! I am so blest to have a wonderful relationship with her and all our family.
As fall begins, so begins my Bible Study Fellowship(BSF). This year it is the study of John. I am looking forward to it and the time spent in His word and with other women searching what He has to say to us all.
I still enjoy blog reading from my friends in Ohio, although like me they are fewer and far between. I think facebook has done that to all of us. It is so much quicker and only need a sentence to say what is on your mind. It is a wonderful tool for sharing pictures and watching all the children grow up. I wish ALL my friends in Ohio would hook up to it! ..hint Laura, Cris, Neva, Billie. They would find how much fun it is and how much you can find out in just a day!!
With that I close this posting and wish everyone a Happy Fall!
