TGIF

Thank goodness today is Friday. Last night was our company party and I am exhausted. It was very nice to see so many supportive and kind faces. The surgery consult went well.
So far from what they can tell is I have a Grade 2 out of 3 which means moderate growth. It looks like it is in the early stages of a 1-2 out of 0-4. I have a few test to do next week. I am doing a petscan where they inject me with a glucose substance then scan my body from head to toe. They also are doing a breast MRI and other pre op test. As long as all stays the same and no suprises then I am scheduled for a lumpectomy on May 5th. The day before my two year anniversary. I told Bobby we could celebrate the weekend before i want this cancer out of my body ASAP. I will then start radiation about 3 weeks post op for 6 weeks five days a week. The pathology will determine if and how much chemo. I know many people say great it is early and all will be well and I know that but there is something that just does not allow that to be completely settling for me. The reality is I have cancer what is okay about that??Get this thing out of me and lets go on. I have to much to do, see, say and be! I will tell you I do know there is a purpose for this experience. I know God has some plan in store for me. I do not know what yet but that is the one certain I know. Thank you to the many people who have called and emailed. It means the world to me.
Love to all! Cara Cares

I agree with you, God does have a plan and only give us what we can handle. I believe that it is so we can and will be able to appreciate his reward yet to come no matter how big or small it is. You are a wonderful person and you have an army of supporters who love you dearly. You can lean on me when ever you feel tired, I would be honored.
Love,
