Hi Jennene and Sam, what is the next step for J’s treatment? I am praying for you all. Love, Kristen
Hi Jennene!
Wow…Just ran across this Don’t Waste Jennene’s Cancer page today. Funny thing is that it was a very special cancer free birthday for you yesterday!! Happy Birthday my friend.
Another odd thing is that I was diagnosed with DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma in-Situ ) on Thursday Jan. 7th, 2010. Weird words to hear. Non-Invasive thankfully! I remember following you through your treatments online! Seems like just yesterday!
Well I had surgery last Friday, 1-15 to remove a 2.5 x 3.0cm growth. I got pathology reports back this morning from my Dr. saying that the margins are clear and everything looks good! I will continue with follow up appts. for now.
Just couldn’t get over the irony of seeing your bookmark today… You will continue to be in my prayers both now and in the future. God is an amazing healer!
Blessings to you my friend and sister in CHrist!
Living in the Son,
Sue Stewart
