As I was coming off of a grave yard shift one morning my heart was doing some weird things. I made an appointment with my Doc. He sent me in for the routine tests for cardiac problems.. an x-ray, echo and all that other jazz..
A week later while at work, his assistant called. " You have Mitral Valve Prolapse and he is not concerned about at this time. Vitamin D is extremely low and the x-ray showed a spot on your left lung. It could be just a shadow but we need to make sure". I fell apart for a second but I was at work so I tried and keep my composure...
CT scan from there..6 hours later doctor wants to see me. "It's a scary spot". Then on to a needle biopsy a week later... 3 more long weeks of waiting for results...
Monday Feb.13th I find out it is Primary Lung Cancer (Non-Small Cell Adenocarcinoma) Very rare at my age but it is common(if that makes sense) in smokers, non-smokers and mostly women under 40.
If it was not for the irregularity in my heart that morning I have had no idea that I had Cancer. The Tachycardia was a blessing. I had no symptoms other than some fatigue over the last year.
Christ is my King and if it were not for my faith in Him and my relationship with Him I would probably just give up because honestly that is the kind of person I was before He came into my life. I know He is using this Cancer for good. I don't know exactly what His plans are for me but I trust Him fully and I have already seen some amazing things happening in the last few weeks. People are praying for me. People that don't normally pray. That is a miracle in itself as far as far as I am concerned. Some of you may not believe this but He has answered several of my prayers with my diagnosis. Prayers that I have been praying for months and I am so excited to see what else He is going to do through OUR Journey with Cancer....(Christ, Me, My family and friends)
(Romans 8:28 ESV) And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Babe you are so true on all of these points!!! I love you so much and am looking forward to our march through these streets to victory!!!!!
