It was certainly a tragic day in Boston, yesterday. And I didn’t have a great day either. After more than a week of tests I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It is very small and everyone is hopeful. I’ll have surgery very soon and a new sort of radiation therapy called mammosite. I have mixed feelings about mentioning this here, but feel that I know some of you very well.
Today will be better

Dear Kristi, I understand about your mixed feelings so well! After my husband died, some in my immediate family did not understand why I talked about it on my blog. For me, it was a mixture of wanting to put my thoughts in writing (which always makes it easier for me to sort them out), feeling that I could trust my friends in blogland and the want of a kind of outlet.
I have not heard of the new radiation therapy yet. Hopefully, it will give the best results after your surgery, with the least undesired side-effects.
Thank you so much, Meike! And thank your mother, too. I think my surgery will be on Thursday, April 25th.
Oh Kristi! Well, we’ll just have to pray a bit harder, won’t we? The God I know can heal anything and I’m believing your complete healing is on its way. Please try not to worry about anything but just do what you must, one step at a time with anticipation that, in time, all will be well. Praying and believing with you! Debra
One day at a time is a very good way to approach life. None of us knows what a day will bring. Thank you for mentioning this here so that we can support you in prayer and love. I am thrilled that you’ll be trying something new. Things have certainly come a long way in cancer treatment even in the five years. It’s an incredible time to be living. Keep looking up! Wish that we could sit down to some chamomile tea and a cookie…maybe three! Love to you…
Dear Kristi,
Meike told me about your diagnose, and I can only tell you: You will have good chance to get completely healed. I have friends and also my sister in law, who had breast cancer, some of them already rather progressed. But all had good surgery and medicine, so they are well again now. It will need some patient, of course, but I think, you will surely manage this!
My thoughts are with you!

Hey Kristi,
I just want to say that I am thinking of you and saying a prayer for you. Also, I like the sound of that mammosite, sounds like something that Superman could use to fight the bad guys…think of it in that way and maybe the positive sound of it will go along to help in some way, just as all the positive energy you will receive from your blogging friends.
I know I am silly, but I am sincere in wishing the best for you.
Love,
Kay
Dear Kay,
Thank you so very much for your good thoughts and wishes. I am lucky to have a lot of family support in this area!
Kristi
