Mom just called. My aunt got the call from her doctor. They have confirmed that she has breast cancer.
It is stage 1, very early. She meets with the surgeon tomorrow, to find out what the approach will be, but we're hoping it will be a lumpectomy, not mastectomy. But really, with all she has gone through, she was prepared for mastectomy, and optimistic it would improve how she feels.
I feel like I should be scared for her. It's cancer.
But I'm not. Not at all. I know my aunt knows Jesus. I have no fear for her - not for suffering or death...I don't know...maybe it just hasn't all set in yet.
When mom called earlier I could hear shakiness in her voice. I am sad for HER...that she doesn't feel the same peace I am at the moment. From her perspective, her sister has breast cancer, and she could lose her sister when the wound of her mother's death is just finally starting to heal.
Thanks God...for your peace over this situation...for your healing, which is to come, and for the love that just overflows in this family.
