Hey all.....I need major prayers for my momma (and me) for today. My mom had a mammogram and subsequent biopsy recently. They did not find cancer, thank God. However, they did find a cyst, which they recommended be removed. While it was not cancer, they could not promise it wouldn't become cancer, and why take the chance?
The surgery is outpatient and "minor," but in my eyes, there is no such thing as minor surgery. Anytime you go under, there is a risk. Just last week, one of our state senator's wife died from complications from knee surgery. Knee surgery! Plus, I know to a surgeon, the breast area and the heart area are miles apart, but to me, it is much too close for comfort.
She knows women who have had the exact same procedure done, and the surgeon is actually the same guy that worked on my sister's fiance. But still, I cannot help but worry.
I could have taken off work, but I decided not to, reason being I thought it would be better to be at work keeping myself busy, that way the time passes quickly, rather than sitting there, waiting and waiting, being tortured by the ticking clock. But, I think that may have inadvertantly added to my worry and guilt about not being there.
I just need prayers......for myself, and for my momma, that her surgery goes well, that the Lord keeps her safe.
