Scripture of the Day:
Proverbs 3:
1-8
My son, forget not my law, but let thine heart keep my
commandments: For length of days, and long life and peace shall they add to
the. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck, write them
on the table of thine heart. So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in
the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all thin heart and lean not
unto thine own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall
direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord and depart from
evil. It shall be health to thy navel marrow to thy bones.
When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer, I found out that one of my friends who was a college had the BRCA gene for breast cancer. She shared this with me when I was diagnosed. I had never heard of it before. Her mother died at the age of 42. If that is not the correct age, her mother was still very young. Because of this, she was tested for the gene and found that she had it. Fortunately, she does not have breast cancer. But she does have an oncologist that she sees on a regular basis. That was rather bazaar to me to have a cancer specialist as your doctor when you don't have cancer. But I understand the reasoning behind it and I'm glad that she is under a doctor's care. If the worst occurs, she is ready and prepared. It won't catch her slacking.
I found this article about the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene. I was pretty much in to my treatment before I realized that there is more than one gene possibility. I decided that this would be a good article to share on my blog. When you click on the link it will take you to the site and a summary of the article. If you look closely, there is a link to the full article and a link to the references used in this article.
If there is a topic you would like me to research for you, please let me know. It could benefit others as well.
If you are making this journey as I am, may God bless you with His healing touch. I know He loves you.
