    It's been a while but I wanted to let y'all know that after 5 months of living with breast cancer I will be having surgery on Wednesday, Sept. 4th...I'm having a double mastectomy. A few weeks ago I had a CT scan and an MRI of my brain which showed my BC has not spread to any of these areas. It has grown some in my breast so it's time for these "girls" to go. I still have had no pain (thank God) and only notice I have less energy and get tired more often so I am even able to nap sometimes now which I never could do before.

    My faith is still carrying me through this and I know whatever God has planned for me will be His best for me. All prayers for successful surgery are appreciated. They say it takes 4-6 weeks to heal from the surgery so y'all just might find me having time to come and post and visit for awhile during my recovery time. I hope everyone is doing good these days. I'm at peace with my decision and doing fine otherwise.

    It is great to hear from you and have an update, @Babs Hunt . I am sorry that you have to have the operation, but glad that the cancer is not spreading.
    We will keep on saying prayers for your recovery !

    It sounds like God is leading you into eating a healthier anti-cancer diet, and I am glad to hear that. Since cancer cells only feed on sugar, many people who have gone on ketogenic or another low-carb diet have found that it really helps with starving the cancer cells to death.
    My son had a fiancé who died from cancer, and I was horrified that her doctor told her that eating ice cream was just as good as having plain whole milk yogurt.
    Since she was pretty much sugar addicted, she didn’t want to give up her ice cream and sweets, even if it would have helped her.

    My wife was posting the same thing I was writing.
    For whatever reason, (in addition) Romans 8:38-39 came to mind and maybe you can find some extra strength and peace by the reading of those verses.

    I've been thinking about you all this week Babs... Scary as it must be I believe you're doing the right thing, and knowing it hasn't spread anywhere else, get those bad girls outta your life, and the evil cancer along with it.. I'm sure you've done as much research as you can about it all, and the after effects, and how to cope, and with your very strong faith, and close family strength , you're going to be fine and able to spend more years with your children, husband and grandchildren..

    We all here wish you the very best, and we will be thinking very much of you on Wednesday..stay strong !!

    I also want y'all to know if my heavenly Father decides to take me Home to Heaven during my surgery I have informed my youngest daughter to let y'all know that I will be waiting up there for all of you. :)

    I did that same exact thing each time I have had to have the heart operations, so I can guess how you must be feeling, Babs . I remember waking up after the first heart procedure , and wondering if Robin was real, or if I was only thinking that I was alive. I was seriously happy when she told me that she was real and I was in the recovery room.
    I think that at our age, it is scary to face this kind of an operation, but when our chances of surviving depend on it, then we have to just trust God, and believe he will take care of us.
    Sending you a HUG to take along to the hospital, and please know that we are all there with you in spirit, even though not in the flesh.
