Since Sunday, my blessings have been overflowing. I am at peace with my pending surgery and can now discuss it without tearing up. My sleep is still not restful, but when I do wake up, I just pray to the father for this love and that he continues to bless those sisters that are going through the same ordeal and my family and friends.

The Surgery/Reconstructive Surgery will be on the same day, thanks to my surgeon; he was persistent with getting everything scheduled together. I am truly blessed to have him as my doctor. I feel confidant that my care is in the best hands possible and that I will be fine.

Today I went for my pre-admission testing and instructions; it was somewhat unnerving, but everyone was patient and understanding.

Tomorrow will be another good day for I am blessed with family, extended family, great friends and a wonderful husband.

I had my surgery as scheduled and have begun the healing process. I am not sure of the date that chemo will start, my doctor wants me to heal more, I think in about 4 weeks.

I feel fine and just have to be patient until the next phase, I am also adjusting to having breast-cancer even though it was removed. So many steps to recovery, but I am not giving up hope.

I will say my prayers for all of you and pray that you have a speedy recovery and become cancer free.
