As I sat eating lunch with my husband on Tuesday afternoon, I received a phone call from TN Oncology to postpone our appointment until Friday @ 8, because the pathology reports aren't all back. How frustrating not knowing what area has started these crazy cancer cells to go haywire. Oh well, I had rather them be careful & run every test possible & get the right treatment from the get go than to waste more time with something that isn't going to do a thing. On a lighter note, when Anthony & I were at the eye doctor on Tuesday in Knoxville, I received some great news. I proceeded to tell Dr. Smith that I really could use some good news this week & he said well I can give you perfect news. My eyes are still 20/15 after having Lasik 5 years ago. WooHoo!! Just call me eagle eyes..HAHA.
I've had a rough few days. The pain continues to hopscotch around my body. Its as if I can feel this stuff spreading. A new pain everyday just scares me. My biopsy & port-a-cath op sites are just about healed in a weeks time. Pain meds are becoming a regular part of my day.
I just want to take this moment to thank all my friends who care so much for me. You know who you are. Whether you call, bring food, or just are here for me! I love you guys & I thank God for you.
Please continue to pray for God's healing. Our Jehovah Raffa, God the healer, does it everyday. Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous ones run to it and are safe.

Arthanise,

Oh Yay! I get to be the first to comment! :)
I love you, precious friend. I cannot wait to see what God is going to do. He goes before you every step of the way.
I will not die but live, to proclaim what the LORD has done.
Ps 118:17 - this is what I am praying for you daily. God is good ALL THE TIME!

Arthanise, You have been so much on my mind for the past week. I see the pain in Anthony's eyes and know how difficult this must be for all of you. God holds you all in the palm of his hands. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you. Nell
Your faith in the Lord is truly an inspiration to us all. God is Good and he will take care of his precious lambs, he will heal for there are many more that you can touch and inspire with your faith.
You and your family are in my prayers.
You do not even know the people you touch. One day I was feeling really discouraged with my continued fatigue after my bi-lateral mastectomy. I read an article concerning your experience in a magazine and it made me feel hopeful. Trust In Him, a positive attitude and people who care helps with these type of struggles. And you have all three! Judy Scantland

You are truly an inspiration to all in everything you do from being a wife, mother, daughter, nurse, and friend. Please know that you and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.
With all my love, Lisa O.
I have been thinking about of you and your family so much lately. For the past month, I have had every intention of callling you but I never made enough time. I know now why you were on my mind. God was telling me to give you a call. I believe in you, your strength, your courage, and your faith in God. You will overcome this with your family, friends, and faith!
All my love,
DEANA
I've missed our talks! I am praying for you as well. You are a very strong lady and I know through God you will conquer this. I am walking in the Breast Cancer walk on October 20th at LP Field to help raise money for the fight. I encourage everyone to join and help fight for you.
Love ya,

Arthanise,
You are the strongest and most courageous person I know. What an inspiration you are to so many people! God is working miracles and will use you to minister to so many others. Your faith is so strong and God WILL see you through. Doug and I are praying for complete healing.
We love you so much,

Arthy, Arthy, my dear sister friend.......You don't know how many lives you've touched. God knew what he was doing when he made you a nurse. Your strong faith in our heavenly father will help you along your journey of healing just as you have helped so many others during their healing process. As always, I'm here for you and Anth, Abby, and Austin. I love you all and may god continue to bless each of you every step of the way. Remember.......when you don't see His footprints in the sand it is because he is caring you through. I love you, Gina Wilson
