Lumpectomy Results: Clear

Huge praise from biopsy of sentinel lymph node = clear, no cancer.
(That's the first line of defense lymph nodes that receive drainage waste from the breast area. Mom really liked the name sentinal, or guard, node, making her think of the protection God builds into our bodies and lives. When they removed one node to check for cancer, it made me think of this guard 'laying down its life' to show the results of all the treatment (chemo and prayer and praise, trust, surrender to the Lord, walking/trusting through treatments, etc.) . . . Cancer free! Halleluiah! Praise God in the highest!)
Another praise: the area around where the lump used to be is also clear of cancer.
The titanium marker was removed during this 'lumpectomy' (even though they found no lump to remove), but they still go in to take away the 'margins' and see if the tissue is clear or not. It is!

The doctor said we have everything for which to be thankful and humbly gave credit to God, saying it was the best report one could hope for. Lord, we praise your name for this deliverance. Thank you for all the work that went into the whole process and what you will continue to do, for your glory. We love you and trust you. You are worthy. Thank you for laying down your life for the forgiveness of our sins, and being raised again, to bring the greatest deliverance of all, to provide a Way (yourself) to have eternal life in/through/because of/for/by you. Halleluiah! 

You love us so much. (For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotton/one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.) We believe you Today. Thanks for tangible reminders of your love each day. We look for them with great expectation because your character remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. Halleluiah! (a Hebrew word that means praise to God, the covenant-keeping One!)
