I have what?
As of now most of you know I have been diagnosised with aggressive breast cancer!!! Well let me assure you that I am more aggressive!! I am 36 years old and the cancer is a triple negative which makes it aggressive. The reaccurence rate is fairly high however, I serve a mighty mighty God who can and will heal!!! I have no family history of breast cancer but I do have a grandmother that died of a cancer and an uncle that died of cancer. I have been very healthy up until this diagnosis!! I have chosen to have a modified radical mastectomy because of the reaccurence rate. I made that decision confidently and with no hesitation!!! I don't care about a breast I will have another one made!!! LOL I am believing in a miracle and I have a God that is a miracle maker!! I have shed tears during this time but for the most part I am peaceful and ready to get started on this journey. It will be tough I am realistic but again the God that created this universe by just speaking is still alive and doing great things! Since he made me he knows each cell in my body and can heal each cell so I am standing in peace and in faith!! If you would continue to pray that would be absolutely FANTASTIC!!!
If you want to comment please do so and I will try to keep this blog updated and let you go through this journey with me if you chose!!
May God bless you abundantly!!

Hi Shannon, I stand with you through this journey of faith. Yes, we do serve a mighty God.Matth.8:16-18 "He cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were ill; in order that what was spoken through Isaiah might be fulfilled saying, He himself took our infirmities and carried away our diseases!" Amen!! Love you!

I am praying Shannon, and you know already that God has His plans for you, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you HOPE and a future". There must be a reason He chose you. We are all on your side, you are a strong woman! Lean on us, though! All of your friends want to help see you through. Love and Hugs, Tammie

Shannon,
Jim and I are so sorry to hear of this cancer but you are so right, God is "Bigger than the Boogie Man" as they say in Vegie Tales. We will be praying for you everyday. I know that you are a child of God and He will be near you and give you courage and strength as you need it. The Bible says, For Lo, I am with you always. What a promise. Please, let us know if we can help in any way. Claudia Riley

My Dearest & beloved sister, You don't know me at all. We are connected by three, 1: God, 2: Amy 3: stage 3, breast cancer. I was 34 when I was dia., with the webbing breast cancer, just last Sept, I had surgery on my left breast, thinking I had mono, due to feeling sick and tired for at least 2 months. I DID NOT!! In October of 2008, they called me in for my results, and told me that I needed to bring someone with me. I couldn't even think, much less call someone! Who to call, Mom, Pastor, Husband, sister, who should I call on short notice? I was in such total shock that I couldn't even think of call who could go????? Finally I pulled it together, and called on the Lord. There was my answer, I thought that I was going to this appt., alone I wasn't alone, as I was driving I had a calming before the storm feeling. God, was with me!! He too is with you. When you're in your 30's breast cancer isn't even a thought, but I found out that on Oct.,10, 2008, a year and 3 days ago that cancer is very real at 34. As the doctor was talking to me with mt few options, I thought, "Why me? I Have What? And it's not treatable. What now?" But there is a what now, I had a partial masc., and treatment, but mainly I had faith that God would let me deal with this in my own way,and time, and that He has. I'm here in TN praying for you today, before my appt., and during. I'm 35 now and have a new lump, but I'm okay. This is not the battle of my life, I have faith in that statement! This is a small bump (if you will) in my life, and God is so good. Breast Cancer does take over or rule our lives, it makes us stronger, more open, understanding, and allows us to see how good God is. It may not seem like it, but he is. I'm on my second year of this battle with my body, not my faith or happiness! I will put you on our cancer prayer list. I'm telling you this because although we say, "God is on my side" and we put that brave face up, "I'm Afraid, but I will never let fear control the plans that God has laid before me. I'm not done and He's still working on me!! Neither are you. I still go to exams, treatments, take daily meds, and so fourth, sometimes I tell my family other times I'm quiet. It's my choice and when it's to tough, I know that God is absolutely carrying me! And that is just fine. I'm proud that when it seems as if I left Him, He is still there. My husband Scott has been a wonderful supporter. I just wanted you to know that I love you and you're in my heart and I'm lifting you up in prayer my sister!!! I have other survivors and ones that are still going through this; praying for you and your family. Breast cancer is a life long fear and blessing, reaching out to others is the blessing. You will see that down the road, you have my email and I'm on FB, so when you need to talk, scream, cry, or pray, anything, I am here for you! LYLAS!! may God bless you. Ovarian cancer 1998, brain tumor, 2006 and Breast cancer 2008 & forever child of God! Amen!
