Chapter One

I have discovered it's difficult to talk about receiving a diagnosis of cancer over and over. I'm blessed to have so many people who care about me and I know they want to know how I am and about the progress of my healing so I decided a blog might be a good way to share information efficiently.

It all started with a sore spot followed by a mammogram and ultrasound on 9/28. Stereostactic biopsy on 10/2 and summons to doc's office on 10/4. With the help of someone I hold in high regard, (Thank you so much Bill M.) I figured out the wisest move is to go straight to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. I will see the surgeon there at 8:00 a.m this Friday 10/12. My surgeon is John Kiluk and from his credentials on the Moffitt website, he looks like the guy to see. I don't really know what to expect Friday but I'm certain it will involve a plan to get treatment started.

At this point I'm okay. I still have daily headaches but they are manageable and I haven't had a serious migraine since early July.  I'm tired, but that too is manageable. I'm very grateful for God's tender mercies.

I know I will be okay. I have a great deal of faith in God who is so much bigger than cancer. I appreciate your prayers and positive thoughts more than I can express here.



When I know more, I will update you with another entry here.  Of course I will see you at school and I am always uplifted by your words of encouragement.   Terri
