Now: 

So much has happened during the last six+ months. Things most people would call ‘bad’ and things I call ‘Blessings’ and ‘Miracles’. Through it all, I have been clinging to God and His Promises, and He has proved Himself over and over. 

It’s been a roller-coaster ride. I’m just entering the world of radiation. The blessings are obvious to me: the promise of a chance to win over cancer, the wonderful dedicated people who focus on helping the healing process, the incredible technology involved.  

I’m also blessed by not feeling embarrassed by the process, quite a blessing for a modest older lady who recently lost her breasts. What a blessing to lie exposed on a table with three or four helpers working on me and feel only kindness and caring. 

Then: 

One of the first Blessings from God occurred within a couple days of the confirmation that I have breast cancer. 

I received a call from a nurse who works for a Health care program serving MS patients. I told her about the diagnosis and we chatted for some time. She has been calling regularly to follow my case, but above and beyond that, she offers encouragement, information and makes valuable suggestions.  

Our conversations last much longer than necessary for her to satisfy the requirements of the job. I look forward to her calls and they are truly a Blessing.
