I had a difficult time coming up with the title for this entry. I thought...Good News, Bad News...The News...Here's What You've Been Waiting For. But none of those titles seemed to express what I'm thinking or feeling. So I thought a little longer and realized that today's news is happy and it's what we don't know that could be not as good news. So keeping that in mind I've decided to remain optimistic and not think too much about the "what if's" as my sister would say.
The lump in Rene's breast is an infected lymph node. No cancer, praise God!
Can I leave it at that and just let us be thankful for a while?!
I can tell you are wondering what else I might have to say. Well, Rene would want me to tell you that she had some serious concerns about her sono tech when she seemed unable to locate her (meaning Rene's) breast. Rene had to let her know that, that was her armpit, and the lump was in her breast. It went something like this, "No! No! I didn't feel any lumps there." The tech replied, "No! No! I did." So, what that means is a biopsy has been ordered. The doc says the lumps in her armpit are "suspicious."
(Recap: Lump in breast not suspicious. Lumps in arm pit are.)
Please remember not to dwell on the what if's. If you'll stroll down memory lane with me, you'll recall that the "bone cancer," was Gout, the tummy lumps were infected lymph nodes and a hernia, and now the "breast cancer" is also just an infected lymph node. I'd say my dear sister is full of miracles. Don't let these lumps be a possibility for bad news, let them be hope for another miracle.
Just so you know, everyone down south is in good spirits. I'd say they've learned to roll with the punches with incredible grace. Talk about taking lemons and making lemonade. Leave it up to them to make it the sweetest.
Prayers for comfort and a good nights sleep. Prayers for more miracles. Prayers that we will all learn to make lemonade out of our lemons.
Thank you all for being a blessing to my sister, your prayers lift her up and motivate her (and me) to focus on the glory of life.
Love,
Pamela

So often I don't feel I have the right words, but as always my thought and prayers are with Irene. Christine
Well, there are lymph nodes in the arm pits as well. Let's see, no cancer in the tummy nodes, no cancer in the breast node - let's go 3 for 3 and pray that the infection spread to the pits and is curable with some heavy duty antibiotics! Thanks for reminding us of the history of miracles with Irene. It sure does help to be able to put things in perspective. What a wonderful sister Irene has! Thanks Pamela!
my prayers are with you, happy that it's good news for now.
Good news it is - Let's remain positive and in good spirits for you and yours always. My thoughts and prayers will continue for healing. Take care,
Katie
