I asked him if he recommended removing the lump immediately. He looked into my eyes ruefully and softly said; if we remove the lump you will need at least 2 months to heal and you don’t have 2 months. <br /><br />Next he said; you need to begin chemotherapy immediately – and then he asked me if I could stay and receive chemotherapy right then and there.<br /><br />When you get news like this, it feels as if the entire world is spinning around you, in a blur, and you are left standing still, suddenly feeling isolated and alone.<br /><br />The fight is yours alone and no one else can fight it for you.<br /><br />I wonder what will be tested here; faith, strength, endurance, patience, love, friendships.<br /></span><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2755839536819282959-6965250256214392419?l=szwanetz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bleu Notehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17681045483395044410noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755839536819282959.post-58510838017008117432009-01-06T07:16:00.000-08:002009-01-07T22:07:43.800-08:00<div align="left"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MX6dsAFKcm0/SWN2JaDFSrI/AAAAAAAAAAU/nAPV-IQx-Y0/s1600-h/Angel.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288200291446246066" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 238px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MX6dsAFKcm0/SWN2JaDFSrI/AAAAAAAAAAU/nAPV-IQx-Y0/s320/Angel.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;color:#000000;">Driving down the highway in South Jersey one afternoon I saw a set of clouds out my drivers window that resembled and Angel.
