hi; This is Nancy again.

Just to let you know that Jessie is have a great day. She feels well and her surgeon says everything went very well. Of course we wait on the lab work for final say. But everything went according to plan.

She will get home on Friday and will write on her own blog soon after. She again want to thank all of you for your prayers and let you know she is experiencing the peace that only God gives.

This is Nancy. I am writing on behalf of Jessie. Her surgery went well. She went in for surgery at 5pm our time, and came back to her room at 8pm. She was wide awake and talking as they put her into her bed. As soon as the nurse came to take her stats she asked for tea and toast. But she was told to wait at least an hour. But that shows how well she is feeling. So she wants to thank all of you for praying. God has proven Himself strong on her behalf and we are all thankful. She will be writing on this blog as soon as she gets home from the hospital.

Right now I am sitting here waiting for my turn to go to theatre. My surgery is scheduled for 3:30 pm. I have been fasting since midnight so I am really hungry. Will be glad when I can eat again. Nancy will be posting a entry whenever I get out of surgery. Thankfully I have a great peace in the midst of this that only comes from God!!

I have a surgery date! After reviewing the MRI and the Ultrasound it has been decided to do another MRI in 6 months, which means that the mastectomy on the left side will now be done. I go in the hospital tomorrow (Monday) and the surgery will be done on Tuesday. My surgeon is doing it before he goes on his holidays in July. There was a possibility that I would have had to wait until after the middle of July for the surgery, but the Lord has moved up my date and so here we go. I am so grateful for all who are praying for me. The Lord has given me a great peace which only comes from Him. He is walking right along side of me!!

Tomorrow I go in for the ultra sound. To be honest I am a bit tired of the testing and waiting on results. That is the human side of me. Spiritually I love the opportunity to get to know my Lord in a deeper way as I rely on His strength and experience the peace He gives. The prophet Isaiah wrote in chapter 26, verse 3 these words, "You will keep in perfect peace him [or her] whose mind is steadfast, because he [or she] trusts in you." Thank you Lord, that I am able to trust you with my life!!

Today I talked by phone with Paula, my personal nurse at the Breast Check Clinic. She told me that on Thursday the specialists are meeting together re: the MRI scan. From what she saw on the scan which arrived while we were on the phone the first time (talked several times to her today) she said it looked good, except for a benign area. Paula had also talked with my surgeon and he said I might need an ultra sound just to be sure which hopefully I''ll have by the end of the week. I felt much better after my conversation with Paula. She was so encouraging! Today was a good day! Thank you Lord!!

My goal is to update my blog every few days, so hopefully I will be able to do that. There is still no news regarding the MRI scan which I had on the 8th. I'm praying that I might hear soon and that the news would be good. I am ready to get on with the surgery and the treatments which will follow. These have been some of the hardest days as I face uncertainty. Thankfully we have a great God in whom we can trust and who knows all things. Thank you for your comments as they have been such an encouragement to me.
