Wow - it's been awhile since I last checked in with everybody! All is going well and thanks to the Lord I am healing up nicely. Almost have a full range of motion on my left side and can do just about anything on the right side :) What I am amazed at is how much energy I have and how good I feel - I believe the joy of the Lord is my strength!!! I am so thankful to God for healing my body of such a terrible disease and bringing me back to great health. I even have had my thyroid medication cut in half because my thyroid didn't need that much. I am believing that not only has Jesus healed me of cancer but is also healing my thyroid as well. Isn't that just like our God to heal it all! I feel absolutely wonderful. I kind of forgot what it felt like to feel good so I am just bounc'n off the walls. I want to thank my mom for her great wisdom and strength in the Lord the other day. Mom, God has used you in my life so many times with your words of encouragement and wisdom. I love you!! Mark should find out by the end of this week or next if he has a job. The company that bought his company is making a lot of changes so we are praying for the Lord to provide as He always does! Please keep Mark and his job situation in your prayers - thank you! I did visit with my Oncologist last week and now only have to be checked in 3 months - then 6 months and then every year :) I started my Tomaxifin which is a drug that keeps estrogen from sticking to my cells. The cancer I had was estrogen related so this will prevent any estrogen from interacting with cells in the breast area. I have to take this for 5 years. Please pray that my body receives this daily pill well and with no side effects. I continue to Praise God for the miraculous healing He has done in my body and thank Him for all of you! Love you all so much and pray God's power work in your lives!!
His Grace and Mercy is Awesome!

Praise Our Lord!
Hello My Dear Family & Friends!
I hope you all are enjoying this day! I am just prais'n God for His Goodness, Faithfulness, Mercy and Love today. I am just busting at the seams excited to shout God's praises in what He has done in my life! I can't tell you how much my life has changed because of this cancer. God has renewed my life and for that I am completely thankful to my God! I am experiencing a joy that I have never felt - an excitement for life that I just can't explain. WOW - to wake up each morning with a new day ahead of me and I GET to share God with all I come in contact with! It truly is a great privelage to serve God. It blows me away that God loves us as He does. He is so merciful and compassionate on His children. I met a lady on the phone last night and her name is Vicki. Vicki is also battling breast cancer ( stage 3c). We both had the same amount of chemo treatments - 16 total and she is finishing her last FEC treatment tomorrow. I share her with you because I would love for you all to pray for her. The FEC treatments are so very horrifying that the thought of having to endure just one more is truly more than a person can handle. I know you think "oh just one more and then your done" but it is truly a living hell to experience and she really needs your prayers to get through "just one more". As I spoke with vicki last night I heard a woman who deeply loves her Jesus and has got her eyes on her Savior to get her through this. She's is an amazing woman and ministered to my heart! She too will have a victory to praise God for. Thank you for your prayers for her! I love how God brings people together. I am beginning to see how Jesus is using my trial to bring hope and encouragement to other people and not just people going through cancer but any trial. I have also realized that with great trails comes GREAT PRAISE!!! God does use horrible things in our lives to bring out the good in us and to give all the glory to Jesus. He is our helper in all our battles and promises us great victory as His children. You just can't go wrong with serving Jesus. If you are reading this and haven't surrendered your life to God please do so. I promise you as I have experienced the last 8 months that God is real and alive and active in our lives today. He will fill you with a joy that is undescribable. Yes, I know that trials will still come but in the midst of them you truly will feel His joy and peace. Please give him a chance to love you - He's just a prayer away and so waiting to hear from His child!
Love you tons,
Dana

Please pray!
Hi Everybody!
2 weeks following my masectomy and doing pretty good! Starting to get around (slowly) and enjoying everyday!!!! I really need some prayer regarding the swelling under my pit where the surgeon took out my lymph nodes. There is still quite a bit of fluid retention and it keeps me from moving my arm around like I should and quite painful! Please pray with me that the Lord would heal that all up and there would be no swelling in my arm (lymphadema) . This morning I was starting to get down about it and the Lord reminded me to share this with all my prayer warriors. I trust in God to get me through ALL of this and with your prayers there will be yet another victory! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! Yesterday Mark went back to work after having off of work for about 2 weeks. He was amazing how he cared for me and the boys. I am so totally blessed with my man! Mark did find out that he will still have a job with the new pharmaceutical company through the end of March. After that, not sure. He has been sending out many resumes for Medical Device jobs and has heard back from some recruiters. He would love to get into that field! Continue to pray for the Great Provider to meet all our needs and provide Mark an incredible job. As children of God HIs favor is on us all - HOW TOTALLY EXCITING!!!!! I love you all tons and am so very thankful for our friendships and family. God gives us so many blessings eachday in our family and friends. Thank you all for blessing me and my family!
Talk soon!
