I Have Breast Cancer

I have breast cancer.


I need to get used to saying that, I think.  

I just learned about it tonight.  

I found a lump a couple weeks ago, saw the doctor a week ago, and had tests done 2 days ago.  And now I know.

I have breast cancer.

My Dr called tonight to give me the news.  I held it together on the phone and then Jamie and I both lost it.  And then we calmly decided we should tell the kids right away.  They're smart.  They would have known something was up.  So we told them.  It went as well as could be expected and now the four of us know together.

We'll tell more people soon.  Family.  And then friends.  And then everyone.  This is still new. 

We're going to get a call tomorrow morning from the nurse who will be setting up an appointment with a surgeon at MD Anderson.  We live in Houston, so we're already near MD Anderson, so that's good.

Because I have breast cancer.

I know its a very scary diagnosis. And there is so many questions you have. I know one thing for sure God is bigger than Cancer. And and lot of people will start praying for you including me. I'm also going to contact John Haggees prayer team in Texas and they'll start praying for you too. And I know Mindy will list you at our Church too. God loves you and your family very much. And cancer will not have the last word God will!!!

Dear Trish,

I am Michelle Vardell's mother and she shared your story with me.
I want you to know as you take this journey of life, we are all praying for you and your precious family. AND, we are here to help you with anything you need. Tell your family to let us know how to help. Praying for you along with many other prayer warriors. God loves when we call out to him and rely on him to help us. And I for one am crying out to him to heal you completely and surround you with His peace and comfort. We will also pray for your doctors that God, the great physician, will give them wisdom and knowledge. We will pray everyday for you and your family. I hope you will be strengthened by Him and you will feel His presence. He loves you and you are His child and you are not alone. Lauren Munn
