First images, they called me back for more mammogram images on the left side, where the cancer had been removed.

Then I got even more worried as the radiologist looked at those images, and said, we need an ultrasound, we will try to fit you in between other patients.

So I sat there for about an hour getting increasingly worried and pessimistic the cancer had returned.

I had to talk to myself very sternly to keep from crying. I felt sick to my stomach from worry and I wished I had a soda or something to calm my tummy. I asked my Mom in heaven to wait with me for the results and help me be strong and accept whatever the results were. I think she did come stay near me, in spirit.

But thank goodness, I got very lucky and my wonderful friend Betts prayed for me, and I am cancer free!

Betts is such a wonderful person, she takes care of all the people around her when they get cancer or need help, and never asks anything from anyone.

We are so lucky to have her here on DU! 💙💙💙💙💙
