Breast Cancer: The Importance of Self-Exams, Second Opinions, and Prayer: "Lord, whether in my life or in my death, I just want you to use me."
Before my diagnosis came back I scoured the net looking for real life images & references to help me understand what I was dealing with. So I'm sharing this with you, hoping to aid anyone elses who finds themselves in a similar situation.

That is a beautiful quote. I believe that He does use us to teach each other and to learn from one another. How else would we make it through this journey?
I've been reading your entries and just wanted to mention that yous hould challenge your insurance plan on the BRCA testing. That information can really help you make decisions about how aggressive to be with yoru treatment. I had to challenge my insurnace and I did it by finding a clause in the coverage for pregnancy that gentic testing would be covered. I was able to show that they had established a precedence for the testing. Also, my employer's insurance broker also helped me fight it. In the end, I tested negative (I had three maternal aunts and two first cousins with breast cancer) but that was information that helped determine my treatment.
I wish you the best and will continue to offer my support in anyway possible. As my doctor told me, "There is just so much hope today."
Hi there,
First time over here and glad I found you...
