Wow! What to say about 2017?
It started out like pretty much any other year.
In April, everything went sideways when I found the lump.
In May, we celebrated our thirty-first anniversary in the chemo room as I received my first round of chemo.
In September, I finished chemo. I would follow up with another chemo drug every three months for months.
In October, I had a bilateral mastectomy with implants.
Radiation would start the next year.
Much of my year was dominated by my breast cancer and its treatment. I think that I'll write about that one day. You'll find much written about it already in my blog starting in May of 2017 if you're interested.
Many decisions had to be made early on. Although many things lost their importance to me. I chose to trust God. Jesus healed everyone who came to him. I chose to believe good of God and that He is my healer, live or die.
God was gracious to remind me early that it rains on the just and the unjust. Therefore, I didn't go through the questioning, the whys. I knew God would take me through it.
I don't really want to write anything more about it right now. Someday....
If you're in your breast cancer fight, and you want to "talk" or you want prayer, use my contact form at the side. In fact, if anyone wants prayer, please contact me. I believe one of the reasons that I recovered and made it through so well was the love and prayer that was extended to and for me.

It is pointless to ever ask why to God who works out everything, I repeat everything for our good. So very glad you were touched by the Healer. 🙂Linda T

ReplyDeleteDear Melody,

Dear Laura, thankyou for your “randomness”! My sister in law is currently on a similar journey. I love the fact that you are unashamedly a Christian blogger sharing your story to the world. I pray that she might, or someone like her, scroll across your site and be won to Christ! May you continue to be used by God. Blessings in Christ, regards Robyn
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a bit today - even if just a little glimpse. What a praise to see how completely you were healed and now it is 2025. I pray that is an encouragement to someone today. Everyone's journey is different but God is such a personal and loving Heavenly Father who meets each one exactly where they are! I thank Him for His healing in my life as well!
