We are all praying for an excellent result for you.

FF, the O Antiphons are just about my favourite part of the liturgy. I LOVE them. They make me love praying the Liturgy of Hours even more than I already do. And 'O Come, O Come Emmanuel' is my favourite Advent hymn!

Thank you. I had been reading the liturgy of the hours in apps, but it is so much better to listen and read along. Just a bit of a search, and I got it.

O Come O Come Emmanuel (or Veni Veni Emmanuel) is also my favourite. It is so clear and so full of longing.

I have Universalis, Laudate, and four others which are just the Rosary, three of them have audio. I like the stories of the saints in Laudate, but it sometimes works slow in the morning, so I got Universalis, which has variety in the Liturgy of the hours. I also have iMissal, which I have had for ages. I prefer using a Rosary app, because my mind will not allow me to pray from memory for that long at a time. Good to remember things that should get done, but I need to have a postit beside me to take notes of those things which come to mind while I am praying.

I get my port today, got four hours of sleep last night. Hopefully I will be tired and dopey enough to sleep well tonight.

Best wishes MC.

He poked around on the left shoulder but couldn't get into the vein. So he did it on the right. So I have numb spots on both shoulders. I was told to report to surgery immediately after patient education. They put me on a gurney, took some blood, inserted an IV to hydrate me, and I got my kindle out and listened to music. Napped a bit. I think they wanted me to behave myself. I take a look at 3mm invasive, and 10% chance of reoccurrence and say no. Then I look at HER2+ and say no choice. If it were to come back it would do so with a vengeance.

Amen

FF, your wishes brought such joy to me. Thank you so much. I wish you and all a wonderful Christmas. Today I am off to the doctor for my results. I feel so prayed for...thank you all 😍

No abscess or fluid found! It is most likely inflamed scar tissue, according to my doc. My other fibroadenomas (at least, those in my left breast) are all pretty stable, a couple only larger by a few mm. Cold packs and meds for me!

Thank you all so much for your prayers; they mean the world to me.

Feeling Feline,

Thank you so much for your heartfelt video.

St. Zelie Martin is also a patron of those who suffer from breast cancer, if one wishes to ask a more modern saint for intercession. Her daughters' devotion sweetens the tragedy of an early death of a mother.
