All Doctor's-- All Week

Monday afternoon we met with a plastic surgeon for 2 hours. 
Tuesday the cancer counseloor
Wednesday morning with the Radiologist/Oncologist
Thursday back to Dr. Mary for more questions

I was informed yesterday that the "clinical study-radiation therapy" is not an option for me.  the Dr.'s are not happy with the results they have seen and decided to take it off the table for me!

So - more appointments - more questions - then decision making time.

Whatever surgery is chosen - it will happen the first week of December.

Do you feel like you're getting the information you need in a form that makes sense to you? Are your doctors human beings that you can trust with all this?

Always thinking about you! Hopefully some talking with the surgeons and doctors helped with the decision process a little, how tough those would be!

June: If the doctors are not happy with the clinical study results and are taking away that option, then they are really looking for the very best for you - because you always deserve the very, very best. I continue to pray for you and I know that you will come through this with God's help and good doctors.
Love you,

Hi June,

I'm one of Dawn's Masto friends. I have a good friend (in England) who's just gone through, this year, the whole invasive breast cancer thing. She had them removed, did Chemo, prayed a lot, laughed a lot, cried a lot, shared a lot (thank Goodness!), and she's JUST had her reconstructive surgery. No easy journey this one. And chemo makes you feel really crappy. BUT, this cancer CAN be beaten and of ALLLLLLLL the cancers to have, while small consolation, it IS the better and the 'you're most likely to recover from it' cancer to have...especially with the kind of love, grace and faith you possess.

As I've said to Nikki this past winter, God chose her to have this disease because she has the spirit to champion for it when she's better. And there is no doubt in my mind, you are this too. Nikki is in remission. You will be too.

I pray for you every day, twice or more, and I know that God hears me because I talk with Him a lot and I'm afraid He's got little choice but to listen to me. So while we've never met, you are loved. And you ARE going to beat this.

June,
Holding you in Prayer... Saying prayers that your shawl will be a comfort to you. Wrap yourself in it and feel warmth, healing, love and most importantly, God's presence.

June,

Prayers will be continually uplifted for you and your family from ours- the gates.
"Where your deepest wounds are, that is where your greatest gift(s) begin."
You have touched the lives of so many and even though it seems like you have had your share of grief, God will be right there beside you. God's plan includes
hope and a bright future. I have no doubt about that!
Love, Kay G.

June, you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. There are no words that say all that I want or need to say. I know I have always been taught that God will not give someone more than they can handle...but this is very hard to understand. The love and caring you have given to others can only come back as a true strength, support and goodness to you and your family. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I am giving you a hug and the words will come without sound...I am there with you.
