Surgery in three weeks

The decision has been made. The date is set.  Surgery is in three weeks -- Wednesday, March 13th.  I can't say that I wasn't emotional when I went to the doctor today.  I shed a few tears.  On one hand, I am relieved; on the other hand, I am scared about surgery.

I think I have made the best decision for my health.  Having a mastectomy will lessen the chances of cancer coming back to my breast and thus lessen the chances of cancer metastasizing to other parts of my body.  There is no guarantee.  

I didn't sleep well last night.  I woke up in the night anxious and fearful. I pray that God will give me peace.

 You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you,
 whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Isaiah 26:3
