More Tests but No Party

Today was my son, Donovan's 8th birthday party but I was called in for more tests.  Here comes the beginning of the stinkiness of cancer, I thought.  Missing out on wonderful parts of my kids' lives... But Paul was quick to offer to take over as party supervisor and off I went.  Thanks to all the lovely friends who picked up, took care of kids, drove me and gave me so many hugs.  We feel so loved!

I had a bone scan done and abdominal ultrasound today to make sure the cancer is contained.  Praying it is and that breast cancer alone is our new normal!

Rose took a picture of me before the bone scan.  I look oddly cheerful and should have struck a more sombre pose.....God has blessed me with an odd sense of humor.....


Thanks for your prayers.  Please continue to remember Paul and my kids in all this!!!

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future..."  Jeremiah 29: 11

    Oh Brigette, I just found out about this, but what a difficult path you and your family have been called to walk on. So sorry to hear it. I'd love to give you a hug right now, but an electronic one will have to do. I will pray that you may continue to feel the Lord carrying you through this all. Thanks for setting up the blog. I shall continue to check in so I know how to pray. Debbie Johnson
