Kim's Prayer

"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed." --2 Corinthians 4:8-9

The results are in from the CAT scan

I just got off the phone with Dr. Scroggin and here is what's going on! The scan shows 4 or 5 lymph nodes under my pectoral (underarm/shoulder) muscle on the chest wall that are suspect. After Dr. Scroggin consulted with the breast surgeon in Fayetteville, I'm going to go to Fayetteville for another MRI and to discuss a possible surgery option. It may require removing part of that muscle. Chemotherapy is in my future, but they're looking to other specialists to consult the best possible scenerio of drugs.

My appointment in Fayetteville is next Thursday and Friday. We're just now trying to make arrangements for the trip.

I want you to know how much faith and confidence I have in my doctors. They're awesome, and if you see Dr. Carol Scroggin, Dr. David Phillips or Dr. Mark Newman out and about, please tell them thanks for taking such good care of me.

I also want you to know I want to hear from you. Write here or call me. You'll never know how much your kind words and thoughts mean to me and my family.

I've laughed and cried and then laughed and cried some more. Most of you know me, so it's a pretty typical day around our household! ;)

I love you all, and will post more later. Kim

Hi Kim,
We are here for you! Don't hesitate to let us know any specific things you'd like prayer for or anything else we can do to help. We are here for you! But as much as we are here for you, remember, God is with you even more so. He says in His Word, "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you" (Heb. 13:5). He will be there with you every minute of every day. Holding your hand in His. Look to Him and know that He is there with you always.

Lots of love and hugs,
Jill
