    Father please give Nfranklin Your supernatural strength. Help her to recover quickly from this most recent treatment. I pray that her treatment would be very effective in her healing. Please give her Your peace and comfort. Give her rest Father and let her sleep be sweet.



    Lord I ask that You would help Brandi. Ease her anxiety, something with which many of us are acquainted. Give her Your supernatural peace. Help her to take Your yoke upon her as Your burden is light. Bless her Father and comfort her with Your presence. Give her complete healing Lord.



    I ask these things in Your Son's name. Amen.

    Thank you Rocket, your prayer is just lovely.) I am happy to report I was doing a lot of worrying for not! My blood counts have risen significantly, and I am now in the low normal range! Still clinically anemic and neutropenic, but low normal none the less. No iron infusion for me this week; I am just ecstatic - I am praising God for his glory and healing. I am still having some joint pain, weakness, and severe fatigue, so my oncologist has referred me to a rheumatologist to rule out any autoimmune issues - I'm praying not - cancer is enough! Thank you ladies for your prayers - what a mighty God we serve.

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    I come to you tonight full of hope, a renewed sense of courage, and relief. I am awed at the continued healing only you can provide. Please keep healing all of my sisters here as well, Lord. We are all walking with you, and listening for your guidance, and peace. Please surround these amazing friends and prayer warriors with a peace and love that is yours and yours alone. Thank you Lord, for sending us your Son, Jesus Christ to forgive us our sins, and give us the promise of eternal life. With much gratitude and thanksgiving, I pray, Amen.

    Love,

    Brandi

    Footprintsangel, Patoo, Rocket, bcincolorado,and nfranklin,

    I am praying for ya'll daily. I have come to think of you as friends, and I am forever grateful for your prayers and support! I am praying that we can all get a good night's sleep and face tomorrow with an open mind and an open heart, ready to accept tomorrow's challenges with grace and  bravery. God's Peace and Blessings! :)

    Thank you for your prayers Brandi. I am praising God with you for your good test results. I have a bone scan scheduled for Friday. I saw the breast surgeon today for the thickened, painful area near my mastectomy scar and she ordered a bone scan since it is right over one of my ribs. I'm hoping she is just being cautious and not concerned. Please pray for my anxiety level as well. I should have the results next week around Thursday.



    So happy for you and the good report!

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Thank you for all of the blessings that you have bestowed on us today. Thank you for taking care of footprintsangel and keeping her strong and on her feet. Lord, bless us all with your glory, mercy, and forgiveness. Please guide us in your way, and keep us focused on you, especially when we get discouraged and tired. Thank you for the gift of your son, and the promise of no pain, no sickness, and a heaven filled with your glory and eternal life. In Your Name, Amen.

    Dear Friends, 

    When I got home from work this afternoon, it was beautiful outside, so I decided to give my window boxes some much needed attention. While I was pulling away the dead leaves and spent blooms, I studied what was left. A bare stem, a few green leaves, and a tiny, vibrant, beautiful flower. It made me think - we are like the flowers! A little bare, a little brown, maybe even a little wilted - but we are the flowers. Blooming despite the chemo, surgeries, and radiation - we are still beautiful. It reminded me of how God sees us - even when we feel at our worst; dead, wilted, and dry, we are still very much a flower receiving water in his holy garden. :)

    Love,

    Brandi

    Hi imscared2. I'm glad you found this thread as there is a lot of encouragement to be found here. Where are you in your treatment process? Have you had surgery yet? There are many triple negative ladies who can answer your questions, and there are many long time survivors. There is even a triple negative thread. Just type triple negative in the search and I'm sure you will find it. It sounds like your cancer is small which is good, but it can only properly be staged after surgery. Don't be afraid to ask your doctor for something to help with the anxiety you are feeling. Not knowing the treatment plan is the most difficult part. Once you know how you are going to fight it, you will begin to feel better emotionally.



    As to lacking faith because you are scared, that just isn't so. If that were the case we'd all have lost faith. Being scared is completely normal and God understands it along with other emotions that go along with a breast cancer diagnosis, including anger. I struggled greatly and sometimes still do. God is big enough to handle any emotions that you have. He already knows how you feel and loves you dearly. He sent His Son to die for you. Nothing you di or feel will cause God tolove you any less. We are here to help you and to pray with and for you. Take a few deep breaths and read Isaiah 41:10. It's very comforting.



    Father You know imscared2's fear and physical situation. She needs you right now Lord to comfort her and give her strength. Please Lord help her to feel Your near presence. Surround her with capable and gentle caregivers. Give her doctors wisdom and help her to make the best choices for her healing. Please heal her Lord we ask it in Jesus name. Amen.

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Thank you for the gift of these beautiful, strong, brave women - I am in awe of their strength and continued faith. Please be with each and every one of them as they continue to fight in the glory of your name. Please show them the comfort and promise of eternal life through your Son, and to keep strong - no matter what they face. It is through you Lord, that we find our strength and grace. Thank you Lord, for being there and lifting us up when we feel like one more step, one more day is just too much. Wrap imscared2 in your loving arms and calm her fears - guide her through the tough decisions, and the anxious waiting. Reassure her that nothing she can think or do will separate her from you. Bless Rocket, footprintsangel, and bcincolorado as they dutifully pray for us. Guide their hearts Lord, and give them the strength to continue fighting. Please be with  nfranklin as she navigates treatment - strengthen her Lord. Thank you for this beautiful day - remind us Lord, that spring is a time of new growth and renewal. Even if we feel like our bodies are weak and giving out - our souls continue to grow in you. In His Name, Amen.

    Dear imscared2,

    This is a verse that I refer to often; it gives me great faith, comfort, and reassurance!

    "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."  Romans 8:38-39

    Love,

    Brandi

    Thank you Ladies for praying for me. I completed the scan this afternoon. Rita, the technician, was very compassionate. She knew that I was frightened. After the scan she had me wait for at five minutes. My fear threatened to overwhelm me, and then I remembered that you were praying for me. I took comfort in verses that I had memorized, and when Rita emerged from the room I pleaded with her to give me some indication that everything was okay. She spoke very softly, almost whispered, and said, "You're going to be okay. I'll see you next year." I will get the official result on Monday, but Rita had it in her heart to ease my burden today. I truly believe that God gave her that direction and willingness to share it with me. Thank you again for your prayers. The Lord has protected me yet again! Additionally, we have another showing on our house on Monday. Please continue to pray for a quick sale.



    I am continuing to keep all of you in my prayers as well. May you all rest well tonight and your sleep be sweet!

    Dear Footprintsangel,

    Thank you so much for the kind prayer! You must have known that I was having a really rough day!

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Thank you for your many blessings that you have given us. Please remind me of the strength that only you can provide - I am tired, Lord, and my body is painful from all of the surgery that I have had over the last 18 months. Please allow my body to continue to heal, and my blood counts to rise. I just get so tired and frustrated with myself. I guess I just get impatient! Thank you Lord, for the gifts that continually come from you - even when I can't see them. Please look after all of my sistes here, and meet each and every one of their needs. Surround them with your love and grace, and mercy. In your name, Amen.
