Introduction, Good News & Prayer

Dear breast cancer community,

I received the news of my breast cancer right before Thanksgiving and my 50th birthday (Dec 1st). I had a port placed on 12/19/14...and began neo-adjuvent chemotherapy (TCHP) on 12/23/14...received my first Neulasta injection on 12/24/14. I seemed to be doing fine, managing the side effects with my otc's, lorazepam, etc...until the weekend. Exhausted and anxious from the dexamethasone...I almost gave in to the devil's outrageous lies...that this was a punishment, that I was not worthy of love, that I was not going to survive this. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion waiting for someone to devour. I almost let that happen...But I cried out to GOD and GOD rescued me. A trip to the ER revealed I was dehydrated and having an adverse effect from my meds...ya think? Unfortunately, my onco says it is necessary for me to continue the corticosteroid that causes anxiety, but he will adjust the dosage. I have 16 more rounds of chemo...I'm sure we're bound to get it right! He did, however, agree that I no longer need to take the lorazepam and may use benadryl instead. Yay! I finally calmed down and rested last night. GOD reminded me of His Word...Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. A-ha! Yes! Greater is HE who is in me than he who is in the world, running around, working overtime, giving everyone cancer because his punk-a** has nothing better to do! GOD reminded me: The devil is a liar! The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus came that we may have life...abundant life! I pray this account may help anyone battling with severe anxiety, whatsoever the cause.

Heavenly Father, I pray for healing and reconciliation for all the sick and oppressed by the enemy's lies...grant us your perfect peace, joy, and comfort as we walk by faith, trusting in your all-sufficient, perfect grace and agape!!! Amen...maranatha!!! A very blessed end of year and abundant new year to all! In Christ, ~Sofi (aka, Ilike2smile)
