Thanks Finita. I have come to accept the situation as I know that it is for the best. The problem is that I am having problems with my kidneys as well and my feet and legs are very puffy and sore. I am hoping and praying that it can be sorted before I have the masectomy as I will possibly have to have a stent put in, although that will be keyhole surgery. I know that God is in control and he will work it out but at the moment waiting to be tested for Lynch Syndrome(another cancer gene), and seeing a Urologist as well as the masectomy all at the same time is a bit overwhelming. I am just taking one day at a time and trusting in God to see me through. I have some very good Friends and their support has been unvaluable. I also attend a great Family Church and they are praying for me. Sadly, as I disassociated from my Family of J.W.'s, I have no support from them but my Daughter and Grand-Children are there for me. It is 14 years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I am so glad to have survived. I was 45 at the time and couldn't wait to get to 50. Now I am almost 60 and I so grateful to be here. Party time coming up!!! I have so many movies that I haven't watched and like you I am going to make a point of watching them.
