Such terrible difficult news, but yet so thankful that they were found early before things got worse. That is truly a miracle! It is every woman's worst nightmare come true, and your attitude about it is just amazing. I enjoyed your thoughts on how you've spent your life with the "girls", and what a difficult journey this is, but your perspective is a good one. Praying for you dear friend, that the Lord will be with you through this!

Powerful, strong and on...Hi Jann, you are a wonder. Powerful, strong and one smart woman. Early detection and treatment makes cancer less a terror than it was several decades ago but it's still the most frightening diagnosis a woman can hear because we all have visions from the past. You are looking to the present and the future and that is so wise.<br /><br />There is grief and loss with saying farewell to the puppies -- perhaps as much as there might be as if they were the four-legged pups. To cry, to be a little nervous, afraid, even scared is so normal and so allowed. I admire your strength so very much but I also admire that you are moving forward with a smart decision. You don't have to cover up with a sad movie for us. Ever.<br /><br />Sending love, loads of prayers and now that I'm home a little something... till then, cyber hugs!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053986543705183158.post-62278845813272645702017-08-26T19:43:32.114-07:002017-08-26T19:43:32.114-07:00Dear Jann, you are so strong and an inspiration. ...Dear Jann, you are so strong and an inspiration.

I know you are doing the smart thing, Melanoma is extraordinarily prevalent in my husband's family, and at the slightest even "maybe" of something looking peculiar, off it goes, and the same is true for my children as well. I am so happy to hear you being proactive. I am sending giant hugs your way, and you are in my prayers sweet lady, YOU. ARE.

My mother was treated for an aggressive form of breast cancer SEVEN years ago and she is cancer free and loving retirement. She had to give up bowling at the time of her cancer, but just last year, at 79, she took it up again. Do you know, last week she bowled a 161!! I am amazed by her. You will be in my prayers (along with my sweet brother-in-law who was just diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma). One think I know--God is good, all the time.

My mother skipped her mammogram only once in her life at 82 and the following year found she had breast cancer. They only removed one breast tho she had wanted both but dr said no. She had radiation and lost hair and now is taking some pill everyday for 4 years. She is 1 1/2 years cancer free now. <br />I will keep you in my prayers.Rose Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180873324576064516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053986543705183158.post-65158452596534457082017-08-24T16:41:13.206-07:002017-08-24T16:41:13.206-07:00Jann, I just read your post and I am a great belie...Jann, I just read your post and I am a great believer that God leads us to where we need to be at any given time...and I believe he led me to your blog. I just found out that I, too, have a suspicious mammogram, have had the second one and also the ultrasound..Monday, the 28th, I go for the biopsy and should know by Tues. what the diagnosis is. I have not cryed yet and in fact, am quite calm about the whole thing. Maybe in shock, but of course I know I cannot do anything until I hear the results. I am so happy I read your post as no matter the outcome, I hope I will remain as positive as you are and that I am right now! Prayers and blessings to you...and most of all a giant hug to show you how much we women care about one another...KarolynKarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977053952791155638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053986543705183158.post-10957331788030675122017-08-23T05:54:05.640-07:002017-08-23T05:54:05.640-07:00Your positivity is inspiring Jann!

My friend, I am so very sorry you are having to go through this. This makes me so very sad for you. I know this had to be frightening though. Jann, I have had 2-3 aspirations and 2 biopsies in the past. I can't even keep up with it. For many years I would have to go every 6 months. Praise the Lord the last few years I've only had to go once a year. My mom had breast cancer as well in her 60's. Last year my Dr. recommended that I have the 3D instead of the 2D mammogram as it's more accurate. I done the same thing this year as well. All I can say is that with each mammogram, each extra testing, each biopsy or aspiration that I just simply say, Lord, thank you once again for allowing this cup to pass from me. I am praying for you right now and asking our Lord to use this mess and turn it into a testimony. Wish I could hug you right now.

I had a mastectomy and chemo and while (excuse my language) it sucked, you will get through this. Your family, friends, and your readers will offer you needed support. Most mportant of all, you will find strength within that you never knew you had. Yes, I promise you will come through the experience a changed woman with an even stronger appreciation of what is and what is not important in life.<br />Sending you encouragement and a warm hug.Janice Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805889411385180872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053986543705183158.post-329964140830805582017-08-22T17:41:12.836-07:002017-08-22T17:41:12.836-07:00Jann, I'm sorry you are having to deal with th...Jann, I'm sorry you are having to deal with this.

But I had it in my mind that I was doing a mastectomy and a double one if I could afford it because I did not know if my insurance would pay for one. I know several women who elected to have double mastectomies and they are very happy that they did. ALWAYS sending prayers your way,my friend!!<br />In case you did not remember, I am a cancer survivor but not from breast cancer, it had to do with renal cancer.
