Re: Newly diagnosed-just beginning my journey

[Guest guest]

Hi Char,

I'm about two hours from you in the St. Joe/Benton Harbor area. I

would love to be Michigan buddies. I have a new breast cancer survivor

friend who went to U of M for her treatment. Chicago is actually

closer.

Hi ,

Did you have reconstruction? Did they take lymph nodes? I imagine

not because you didn't have chemo. Wow, you only missed one week of

work. That is so awesome. Unfortunately, they want me to have

chemo. since I have a lot of cancer in the right breast and I am so

young (so they say) I would love your help and support. Thanks,

Sandi

Hi nne,

You could almost say we're from Illinois, even though we live in MI.

We live 90 minutes from the big city of Chicago. This is where we

like to go once or twice a year for fun times. Of course, now I am

going there for not so much fun. It will all work out in the end,

I'm sure, as I have faith that God is going to teach me something

through all of this. THanks for your welcome (and prayers)to me!

Sandi

> Hi Sandi and welcome. When I first started reading your post I

thought maybe you were from Ill. when you said you went to the U of

Chgo. We live in northern Ill about 120 mi west of Chgo. I will keep

you in my prayers for a good pathology report.

Hi,

I'm from the St. Joe/Benton Harbor area of MI. I also thought I

needed anti-anxiety meds. when I first heard the news, but I have

given my worries over to Jesus and He is providing me with great

comfort (and friends/family) through all of this. It is amazing to

me what His comfort can provide. God Bless You! (I'm not sure of

your name because I only see Stygian000).

Love,

Sandi
