Not The Best of News

Two weeks ago, my sister, Pam was diagnosed with breast cancer. Obviously our hearts just about stopped when we heard the word. It has been hard to process and understand what it all means but through it all we still believe the Lord is on His throne and He is good. It has been quite a roller coaster for Pam her family (she is the one with the four boys). She found the lump herself (3 weeks ago) and was sure from the beginning the news wouldn't be good.

The doctor says it is a bad form of cancer and that it is agressive but he has every reason to believe she can fight it. They caught it early which is really quite a miracle since she hasn't had regular checkups. From what they can tell, the cancer had not gone to her lymph nodes for which we are VERY thankful.

Monday is her first day of chemotherapy. Even typing the word is still makes it seem unbelievable to me. She will do four months of chemo and then have surgery and possibly radiation afterwards. I will do my best to keep posts updated so you can know how she is. Please pray that she wouldn't pick up any other illnesses as her immune system will be down. Of course, please pray that her cancer would be taken care of and that she would have the energy and strength to do things with the boys. We want to grow closer to Christ through this so add that to your list as well :)
