One year since feeling the lump for the first time…

Today, one year ago, I felt a lump. Not knowing what to do about it, I pondered about it for a week before seeking help….the first doctor dismissed it as nothing to be too concerned about, sending me home requesting that I come for a follow up in 6 months’ time if it has not cleared up….

Had it not been for a Godly intervention, three warnings that He sent me, with me only listening to the third one when a dear friend Arnel Huysamen “checked in”, I would probably not have been where I was today physically.

It is always easier to think of the “what ifs” and how it could have turned out, but the reality is, it is better to focus on where I am now, what God has done, how He has rejuvenated my whole body after something as harsh as chemotherapy.

He has protected me through this whole process. All my cells in my body are almost as if a reset button was pushed, hair growing back as if it is being paid to do that!

Of course there is still a physical recovery period that is lying ahead, I am not where I was physically before all of this started, but, day by day, I am getting there. Baby steps. Waiting patiently for that first post cancer spinning session….or cross fit….

If you are reading this and have a lump, have it checked out. And by checked out I mean get a docter to do a biopsy to be sure. They cannot give an answer from viewing an image only!

Radiation day 2

Today was day 2 for radiation treatment. I had to do this alone today, as today is a deadline day at the office and my husband, who has been AMAZING through this whole process, has to slave away….in the time that I was away he managed to submit all returns that were due today….how amazing is that???

Anyway, ek is nie goed met selfies alleen nie 🤦‍♀️ maar hier is hy…..

Scripture confirmation

So I got this verse on a car’s number plate today, as I was leaving the hospital after my second radiation treatment.

When I opened the app on my phone to read it, the EXACT SAME SCRIPTURE was open on my bible app. Random? I don’t think so!!!!

Thank you Jesus that I know that your grace is SUFFICIENT for me and that YOU are glorified when I am weak.

Radiation day 1

Hier begin die ryery nou 😱

Radiation treatment, Mondays to Fridays for 32 sessions, which equals 6 weeks.

Ek het so gesukkel om Mepitel Film te kry, wat opgeplak moet word om te help om vel te beskerm….en toe voorsien die Here op so ‘n manier wat ek nie aan kon dink nie….

A patient purchased film that is still unused and she is selling it privately, here at Pinehaven where I am receiving the treatment. The only place that stocks this, is the Pharmacy at Milpark.

Dis ‘n dagreis te perd van ons huis af, so, die Rekenmeester in my het vorendag gekom, die somme gemaak en besluit dis meer ekonomies om die te koop as om te sukkel om te kry en te eis van belasting en die medies 😂🤭

Eerste bestralingsessie gedoen. 31 om te gaan 💪🏻 I can do this!

Nog ‘n random stranger ontmoeting

Soooooo dankbaar om vir Arnel Huysamen in lewende lywe te kon ontmoet. Nog ‘n random stranger met wie ek gesels het op Whatsapp….maar seker een van DIE belangrikste mense in my lewe in die reis….sy was die een wat my aangepor het om mediese hulp te soek na ek die knop gevoel het…..
