FUN WITH AN M.R.I.!

So yesterday I got an M.R.I. at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philly. It was in an M.R.I. machine that looked like this. The only difference was I was laying face down and face forward, and my girls were in "holes" so the tech could take photos of them, and what's inside of them! Doesn't that sound like fun? The best way I can describe it is you know when you play miniature golf and you have to get the ball in the little hole? Well it was like my boobs were having a hole in two!

The radiologist will read the M.R.I. results today and pass them on to my surgeon....I am praying for the best of course, complete healing...a miracle....no cancer found!!!! Or if God wills me to still have cancer, then no cancer in my left breast....even though I'm scared sometimes deep down I know that God is in complete control of my life and he will take care of me 150%

After the M.R.I. I had to wait what seemed like a gazillion hours to give blood to use for the operation and get a baseline EKG test to see how my heart rate goes normally. All that waiting for only 5 minutes! UGGH!!! BUT I met some really cool women in the waiting room and we shared many stories about life, cancer, etc. That's probably for me one of the best parts of having cancer - meeting so many kind and interesting people on the front lines.

While in the M.R.I. machine listening through my ear plugs to the very loud beeps, whirrs, and other noises I thought of how amazing God is that he created people that cared enough to invent such a machine as the M.R.I. along with the millions of other useful inventions and drugs.....I feel so blessed to have cancer at this point in time because there is so much more available for treatment......

God Bless you all for your notes, e-mails, calls, prayers, good wishes, cheers, and LOVE!
