In a large pit of unknown and despair...

Being able to say, "I made it through" is always a good thing. Life has unexpected challenges sometimes and how we handle them really does help with how things turn out. I have been in the world of unknown for the last six to nine months with my health. It started way back in March when I went in for a mammogram and found out the that spot I found on my right breast during an exam showed nothing, but there was something on the left! I was very surprised and in shock when they said it looks unusual and I should have a biopsy to make sure it wasn't cancer.

I spent sometime doing some research on my own after a friend of my husband recommended a theromagraphy test over the biopsy. I thought what would it hurt, I am up to trying something non painful first. I went then through the tests and was put on lots of great supplements to try to get my body's PH back to where it should be. Then about two days later I found out my recent pap test was abnormal and I needed another one in four months. So four months go by and I went in for a second pap test for the year because of the previous abnormal one.

It turns out that I needed to have a colpscopy test done. I had a biopsy taken from my cervix and soon after found out that I had what is called CIN 3, a lesion that has a 75% chance that it will turn into cancer if left untreated. Wow! I felt like like a freight train went through my body and dumped some real bad news all at the same time...OK, over a period of time. I still had not gone to have the biopsy on my breast, I was trying to get my body be healthy enough with supplements that it would dispose of it by itself. Well, now with the cervix in not a very great stage to be in, I started to get concerned for what could be ahead of me.

I had many thoughts of breast cancer and cervical cancer, all those things that would keep your mind in a large pit of unknown and despair. I really knew I couldn't go there...to that Pit. I needed to rely on the promise that I knew about in the word of God, that I would never be left or forsaken through this hole thing. I prayed and got prayed for by people in my church and by friends and family for a healing to take place in my body. I knew that what ever the outcome of my breast and my cervix, I was going to get through it! God would have my hand through it all!

I scheduled the Leep procedure and then canceled it because I wanted to make sure that is what I was really what I wanted to do..well, better yet what did God want me to do? I spent some time thinking through it and had another thermography test done and it showed no improvement in those areas. I really knew at some point by Gods leading that it was time to get it done! No more waiting and praying it was clear to me that even through a doctor's hand a healing could take place.

It has now been a week since having a biopsy on my breast and six days after having the lesion removed and I am feeling good! I have a good report from the results of the biopsy...NORMAL and I am having a great recovery from the Leep procedure...no bleeding and little pain if any so far. With all of that, like I said in the beginning how we handle our challenges really does have a lot to do with how things turn out. I am so grateful that I have a relationship with Jesus and have given my unexpected issues to Him. I have "MADE IT THROUGH" and seen the other side of what could have been the endless pit of unknown and despair.
