Thanksgiving Day I found a lymph node in my armpit area that I felt had not been there before. I was concerned considering my recent breast lump and the mammogram I had been throughon the same side. As soon as I got back to work, I discussed it with a doctor I work with and she felt I should see a breast surgeon. Wes and I contacted a friend of ours who is a breast radiologist and band parent. He was so kind to set me up to ultrasound it immediately at his hospital and said he felt it was just a benign lymph node but still wanted me to schedule a follow up wiht a breast surgeon in 6-8 wks, which I did. I still felt nervous about the whole thing through the holidays and last week he called out of the blue to check on me. When i told him my appt was next month, he asked me to come in last week and he could ultrasound it again. It was a rough few days for Wes and me. Although he had been reassuring, we were concerned since he felt I should come in sooner. On Friday we went and he did another ultrasound. Praise God, the lymph node still looked like a benign healthy node and had slightly decreased in size. I felt like a ton of bricks had lifted from me. We are so thankful. I am still seeing the breast surgeon next month but feel so much better. God has truly provided for us once again and we are so very grateful. I wanted to document this so one day my children will be reminded of the ways in which God cares for our family. For me, it has been a rough few months as it was hard not to think the worst but we judt kept trusting in God and the people He has placed in our path to help us.
