Hello again!
Surgery took place at 2pm on Tuesday, August 3rd. The three and a half hour procedure was successful, and the lymph nodes that were removed for testing have initial signs of being negative. It will take 10 days to 2 weeks for more conclusive histology. My 5 day stay in the hospital was as pleasant as these things can be, but it is good to be home again.
I still have drains attached, which I hope will be removed today. The Doctor has suggested that Chemo therapy will be warranted in my case, but I am feeling very hesitant about this advice. I feel that much more 'home-work' on my part is necessary. I know I can count on you for prayer in this regard.
Not often does one person experience being an organ donor as well as a mastectomy patient within the space of 8 months. I must say that I feel somewhat battered and bruised, weary and weepy! But God is good, and I am continually reminded of the many blessings I am surrounded with, despite this current situation.
I strive to respond well to this situation, as I know my children are watching. They are being given the opportunity to learn so many things just due to Mommy's medical situation alone! I must make the most of this.
So, this new Season for me will no doubt have its ups and downs. But I press on, in the knowledge of His Sovereign Love.
I thank my Lord for all of you......

Dear Lenora, so thankful for your surgery and hope your post op is speedy. I heard Peter speak at Psalm 119 Conference and read his articles. So thankful he stands for TRUTH! We began homeschooling 2 years ago w/ Christian Liberty Academy. I noticed in one book that they give to your missions-awesome! God bless you both!
