They must have expedited my biopsy results because my surgeon called me this afternoon already! The calcium clusters are benign, BUT they are showing signs of being at risk for developing cancer in the future. So this can impact my surgery decision since they are on the left side and the tumor is on the right. He said no need to make a decision today! Obviously, I will pray about this and invite you to pray with me for wisdom to make the right choice.
I made two batches of soap today! Both are custom batches, and the first one is an unscented oatmeal, milk and honey (no photos, sorry!). The second one is scented with ginger ale fragrance. It’s more fun to look at:
Unfortunately Kenna isn’t going to be able to come over tomorrow due to the impending freezing rain and snow, but Rebble is planning to come back and cut the soaps she made in the morning, so yay!!
I’m trying to plan out the next few days before my next treatment on Monday while I still feel good and have the energy. I don’t want to overdo it, but make the most of the time! I joined a Facebook group for women who have been diagnosed with the same type of breast cancer (HER2+) that I have and are going through very similar treatment plans. Some say the first treatment was the worst and they got easier from there, others say the third or fourth was the worst, and others say they just got progressively worse. So there’s really nothing predictable about it. I am just taking one day at a time, and God keeps reminding me that He has a plan and I just need to stick with Him and watch it unfold!

Good Morning. That is always the best plan–stick with God. I find that everyone is different in how their treatment goes. So, for me it is wait and see what happens. I am so grateful for God’s wisdom and I will be praying that you discover exactly what He wants for you. Have a good day.
Amy Warden

We’re all so different in our bodies’s responses to cancer. Prayer and attitude are so often the keys to healing. Today I’m praying especially for those you meet because of this trial, for blessings on those you encourage and those who encourage you.
Mari
Much love Amy, I’m praying for you and your family. You have a blessed attitude and prayer life. I have years of experience helping a loved one who battled breast cancer and this brings back memories. All is well now, though. Know that I’m lifting you up. -Mari
Amy Warden

We are still praying for you every day! I guess you can be like Angela Jolie as she had both removed and had two new beautiful ones created in their place. However this is A very hard decision that needs prayer and discerning. God will speak to you and give you your answer. With love and concern you during your decision process. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amy Warden
Yes, Angelina made quite a statement!! Fortunately, my genetic testing came back negative, but there’s still a lot to consider. I appreciate your prayers!
Georganna Montgomery

I was just thinking how amazing all these diagnoses have been and the advanced treatment techniques! Don’t we live in mind boggling times?? No one has to feel isolated in this journey especially connected with prayers and love!!
Amy Warden
It’s amazing the advancements that have been made even in the last few years – ever changing that’s for sure! Grateful to have the ability to get the care I need, and the connections to my family and friends!

Taking it one day at a time will never fail you. I’ll be praying as you make your surgery decision and have more treatments. ❤️
Amy Warden
Yes! Just don’t let me forget that!! Thank you for your continued prayers! I ordered the nasal spray you suggested. Ironically, my nose hasn’t been dry the past couple days, but 5 more treatments so I’m sure I’ll use it!
Claire
Praying you feel way better than expected and each treatment targets the right cells!
Amy Warden
Thank you, Claire!!
