Prayer requests

Hey guys! So, we are on the road again:) I know Josh updated you all about the negative BRCA test...to say I was the most excited and thankful person on the face of the earth is a complete understatement. Not only were the results given sooner than expected, but the result was negative. I literally jumped up and down for 5 minutes and thanked God over and over and over and over! He is so good to me.

This does not necessarily change the course of treatment, but knowing I do not have that gene means my ovaries do not have to be removed and my chance of cancer reoccurrence is no higher than another breast cancer survivor...I still get chills even when I write it right now. This good news will be followed by more good news- I just know it. So thankful to be trusting the One who holds my future in His hands.

Ok, so now for the point of this post- I have an MRI today on my abdomen because they saw a teeny tiny spot on my liver (only millimeters) that they suspect to just be a cyst, but because it was there, they wanted to have this MRI today. Please pray that the MRI comes back clean. Also please pray my second round of chemo goes well tomorrow. I have had very little side effects thus far. It is amazing to have poison in your body and feel amazing...My God is taking care of His girl.

I will update more tomorrow and tell some awesome stories, but just wanted to send specific prayer requests today. Love you all and thank you for being trusted prayer warriors.

"I will exalt you, Lord, for you rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me. O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you restored my health. You brought me up from the grave, O Lord. You kept me from falling into the pit of death." Psalm 30:1-3

Aly and Josh....it was great getting to hug and love on you both last night. So very thankful for the negative BRCA test..for so many reasons. I am praying today for a clean MRI and a problem-free 2nd round of chemo. Thank you, as I've said before, for giving us specific prayer requests. I am a detail girl...I love specifics. Ha! You two take care of each other, drive safely and hurry back to West Monroe/Family Church/Claiborne Christian School!
