The Nurse Practitioner just called me at home. Her name is Janet. This is the second time she has called me at home.

She asked me what further tests have been ordered.

I told her I had the CT and bone scan today. She was pleased.

Praise God! Janet said she is a Christian. I told her I am a Christian too.

She said I need to look to God, and ask Him to heal me.

I have my appointment with Janet on 4-13.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for your love and comforting.

Hi, Pamela *hug*

It was very good to talk to you today in chat. I've missed you. Wish I could see you there more often.

Been thinking about you today. Glad to hear you have found peace. Also glad to hear you finally have health insurance.

Don't give up, sis. God is with you. He brought you this far. He will see you through to the end.

Love you very much. God bless and protect you.

*hug5* <------------- picture that as a real one *Wave*

Today I received the results of my bone scan and biopsy.

Good news---the cancer has not spread to my bones or other internal organs! I sincerely thank God for this fact.

Bad news---The tumor is five centimeters, the largest possible. Also, I am in a Stage IIIA; one step above end Stage IV. The tumor is a high grade 3 histologic--the worst grade possible. Also, the cancer has spread to my lymph nodes under my right arm.

The doctor said there is severe swelling, so that they cannot do the double mastectomy yet. I will be having chemotherapy first.

Good news: chemotherapy MAY shrink the tumor size.

I have my first oncology appointment on April 21 at 2:00 pm.

I will pursue treatment, and not miss a single appointment, no matter how I'm feeling. I am committed to try for remission.

My Senior Pastor, his wife Robin, a Christian friend and neighbor and I all celebrated Communion before I went in for the results. It was a holy, glorious time.

I praise God for His love and mercy!

HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY, EVERYONE!

"Because He lives, I can face tomorrow . . ."

Love from your sister in Christ----

PAMELA

Hello, everyone, and so thankful for all your prayers!

Yesterday was a fantastic day in our Lord!

My neighbor and friend---Yolanda---came over and made breakfast for me. The scrambled eggs were delicious.

I received about 15 phonecalls yesterday, also.

The former Assistant Manager, Evalee--- came over, saying the current Manager had told her the news about my having cancer. The former AM is a Christian, and we had a wonderful talk and time of fellowship.

Then, Robin---my Senior Pastor's wife---visited. She brought me many kind and generous gifts, as well as bringing a big rawhide bone for my dog, Jack Jasper. That big goofy mutt loves Robin so much! He is a traitor! LOL.

Robin brought me three pillows, brightly colored pillowcases, Christian music CDs, Christian books, a beautiful flower arrangement, a pair of pink gardening gloves, a gardening trowel, and flower pots.

Robin and I had a beautiful time of fellowship in our Lord. My friend Yolanda came over also, and she and Robin and I all enjoyed one another's comforting presence.

A brand-new friend here at the apartment complex came over. She is a breast cancer survivor, which is what I intend to become. (What I wanna be when I finally grow up). Her name is Mary. She is precious. Mary got me signed up for the American Cancer Society's program in which they provide a patient with a monthly gasoline card for appointment trips. Mary also signed me up for "Meals on Wheels."

Last night, a friend and her two beautiful, intelligent young daughters, Sarah and Savannah---accompanied me to my church for our Good Friday service. It was purely Heavenly! I actually sang along with the songs!

Afterward, they came over and I taught them to play "Skip-Bo" which everyone enjoyed.

Praise God! I am having the time of my life!

Love from your sister in Christ-----------

Hello Pamela *hug*

Praise the Lord. Hallelujah!!!

Pamela, when you were sharing the love and joy of Christ with those young boys last year you were also planting good seed and the harvest is now coming in.

God has you Pamela -- He is sending provision in every way.

Bask in His love.

God bless you, Pamela.
Love,
Mack

Yesterday, the Regional Medical Center called to cancel and reschedule my Pap test appointment. O joy!

I called a friend from church to ask if she would do grocery shopping for me.

Not only did she shop two stores to get the best prices for me---she also did housework for 3 hours! Praise God---it was desperately needed.

She cleaned everything except the ceiling!

Then, as she was leaving, another friend came to my door. I had a revolving front door yesterday---like Grand Central Station.

My other friend and I had a good time just talking. Her name is "Mary" and she is a breast cancer survivor. She had her mastectomy just months ago, and is an enormous comfort to me. Mary also helps me get signed up for various beneficial programs.

A couple of hours after Mary left, my friend and neighbor "Yolanda" came over. She'd made tacos and asked if she and her daughter could come over and have dinner with me. Of course, I said yes!

We had a wonderful time of fun and fellowship.

These are the best days of my life!

Hi, Pamela! How wonderful to have the blessing of friends! I'm glad people care about you and are looking after you.

I wish we lived closer so I could visit. Maybe Brian and I will travel out that way sometime and can stop by. :)

God bless you, Pamela! May He protect you and give you peace.

*hug*
