I’m Thankful

Well yesterday afternoon I got some good news and some not so good news. 


The GOOD news is that the DCIS is not invasive and it did not spread and it is all Stage 0 a.k.a "pre-cancer"   the not so good news is that there is a little more that didn't get taken out in the Surgery on Monday... so I have to go into surgery again on Friday November 9.  


It is obviously not the news we wanted to hear... but I am glad that I have such an Awesome Doctor.  Dr. Perry has called a few times this week to check on me and is so very positive.  She said because of the stage the cancer is I don't have to have any Chemotherapy or meet with a medical oncologist.  Radiation and the Tomoxafin should be the only thing i need.


When I heard the news I was a little down for a bit, but then I refocused and looked at the positives in my life.  I know that God loves me and He has a purpose for me. I have a wonderful husband who is the man of my dreams become reality.  My family who has been very supportive and ecouraging.  Great Friends who are an immense source of strength. The company I work for and my boss, they have been so understanding and accomodating.


I do have a lot to be thankful for :)

 Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives—words, actions, whatever—be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way.





MARY MARY LYRICS
"Thankful"

Lord i'm thankful for my blessings
everything that you gave
Times when danger was around me
My life lord you saved
Where would I be without your love
Where would I be without your grace
You didn't have to do it but I'm glad you did

Can't pretend that what I got
I got it on my own
Every move that i made
Can't say I never been wrong
When I fell you picked me up again
Thought I brought it on myself
I can always depend on you
Whenever I need help

Lord i'm thankful for my blessings
everything that you gave
Times when danger was around me
My life lord you saved
Where would I be without your love
Where would I be without your grace
You didn't have to do it but I'm glad you did

The next time you go to sleep
And you wake up alright
Remember that he kept you safe
And warm all through the night
Lift your hands and lift them high
And this is what you say
Lord you didn't have to give me
One more day

Lord i'm thankful for my blessings
everything that you gave
Times when danger was around me
My life lord you saved
Where would I be without your love
Where would I be without your grace
You didn't have to do it but I'm glad you did

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
It's plain to see
all that he's done for me
I thank you for everything
I live my life
So I can let the world
know that I am

Lord i'm thankful for my blessings
everything that you gave
Times when danger was around me
My life lord you saved
Where would I be without your love
Where would I be without your grace
You didn't have to do it but I'm glad you did
