And Then They Told Me I Have Cancer

So, we are living here in Germany again.  Last fall I started having trouble with my asthma.  Asthma hasn't really been a big problem for me except the years I lived in New Jersey.  I hate going to doctors and hospitals and clinics so I made every effort to fix it myself.  As a nurse I have a lot of tools at my disposal and tried them all to no avail.  I went in and the PA I saw wasn't really sure, but at my urging we got a chest Xray.  That showed some interstitial problems that were not clearly defined.  So then we got a CT scan to clarify what the deal is and it showed my lungs were fine, but there was a density on my left breast.  So then we got to have a diagnostic mammogram, and and ultrasound and the the radiologist was so great and got out of a meeting he was supposed to attend so biopsy it right then.  So yesterday he called with the pathology results.  As much as deep in my heart I thought it would be cancer, I really thought he would tell me it wasn't.  I can't describe hearing those words.  Unfortunately, it is a malignancy.  It's invasive.  I'm putting in a consult to a surgeon.  My heart stopped.  My world changed.  But God is still in the center of it.  God is good and greatly to be praised!
