Praise God! Today I got the results of my diagnostic mammogram and I am OK. The initial mammogram showed an area that required further evaluation. Now while I know that call backs are common...I was still scared. When I say my mind was racing...well it really was. I was trying to be strong and faithful.... but honestly I didn't do such a great job. However, I did remain prayerful. My husband reminded me that Jesus understands being scared and that was comforting to me. I realized over these last stressful days how truly lucky and blessed I am to have such an awesome family and group of friends who prayed with me, checked in on me and were just truly supportive. I truly thank them. If it wasn't for them..I probably would have been committed
Anyway, even though I feel blessed and happy with the news...I couldn't help but think about all those women for whom the results were very different. I want to pray for all of those women who are struggling with this disease and pray that we one day find a cure.
I also want to take a moment to remind all the ladies out there about the importance of self-examination and mammograms...please do this for yourself!
