For the breast cancer mass they removed, the margins were more than adequate (she took enough tissue). But for the sentinel node biopsy (dye, track potential path to lymph nodes from mass), the surgeon removed 2 nodes and they found micrometastases.
My next meeting was with the medical oncologist and I suspected he would likely recommend both a HER2 targeted drug + chemotherapy (even before radiation). I reminded myself daily not to get ahead of myself – or ahead of reality. I researched like crazy so I would be prepared for productive discussions. But I had to resist jumping to conclusions.
Meanwhile, my husband and I continued our KETO eating routine, and I took a ton of supplements including iodine and Ivermectin (whether the oncologist wants me to or not). God gently eased me into this new reality which resulted in an extraordinary peace.
Faith and fear both require you to believe something you can’t see. Choosing faith will fill you with power while choosing fear or worry drains that power. Faith does not make things easy, it makes them possible.
Although my husband was a strong pillar for me, I prayed for him to remember that God was holding him up as well. He lost two sisters and a niece to breast cancer in the past 20 years, so no doubt the devil kept throwing that fear dart at him.
“The Lord is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you with his love; he will exult you with loud singing.” Zephaniah 3:17
