Thank you and asking for prayers

[Liz J.]

Hi to my HER2 family,

First off I want to thank you for wishing me a Happy Birthday. This was what they call the "Big 50". And believe me no one let me forget that. I am very thankful for getting this far and for all the love and good wishes sent my way. And Chrisy that was my name in the chat room (good guess). I can't believe Becky remembered that. There was some confusion with my chat room name so I used that to get on. It was a nickname my dad had for me when I was a little girl (many moons ago). Anyhow, I have been biting at the bit to not say anything as I know this has not been the best of times for us, but I am just asking that you keep me in your prayers in the next few weeks. I found a lump in the left breast (the one thats left) about 3 weeks ago. I saw my surgeon and he also felt it. He sent me for a mammo/sono which came out ok. So I thought this was all good. I saw him Wednesday night and he scheduled me for a biopsy on 6/20. He is not an alarmist but said with the history it is necessary. My husband and I made plans to get away for this coming week for my birthday and his (which is 6/15) and we have not gone away for more than an overnighter in many years. Just one thing after another preventing a getaway. I am putting this on the back burner for now. I don't mean to bring anyone down. I am optomistic and if it doesn't turn out the way I am praying it will then I will deal with it. I know I have your support. If you don't see me on for the next week it is because I am disappearing for a bit. Please keep me in your prayers.

Thank you and God Bless,

Liz J.
