After going to a doctor here in Wilson, NC,and having a "supposedly benign tumor" removed, the pathology report showed I had an aggressive form ofbreast cancer. Then I went to a breast cancer specialist at Duke Univ. Hospital.
He ran a number of tests and from the CT scan I learned I also have two tumors in my liver. The biopsy came back Wednesday which said that they were cancerous also, but the primary source was from the breast. A medical oncologist is now directing my case who is waiting for the remaining tests to come back to let him know exactly what I have. One test showed what they had suspected, that I have a HER 2 marker. I have begun to research this, but to be honest it is a little hard to take it all in so I don't really have enough information to give you to speak about this intelligently.
I have finished 2 of the 3 years for my Masters of Divinity. I never was sure why the Lord wanted me to go to seminary, except that He told me to go. Many people ask me what I am going to be when I grow up. Last year I felt like the Lord gave me an answer to that question; I'm going to be ready. I didn't know what I was going to be ready for, but I was content to know that whatever it was I would be ready. So now I am wondering if this is what He was getting me ready for. I don't have medical knowledge, but I do have a deeper knowledge of God and His perfect ways.
So now I am waiting for the next step and trusting God that He is in control. Thank you so much for praying and for requesting prayer for others to pray for me. It means so much to me! I am learning what it means to have the peace that passes understanding.
Love,
Karen
