God Always Makes a Way!

I just want to take the time this morning to thank each and every one of you who have left comments, sent me emails, etc. I've been overwhelmed and so very thankful for all your love, concern, prayers, and constructive help and guidance. I've started a notebook with all this information, websites, email addresses, phone numbers, etc. I feel armed and ready for battle here!

I do want you all to know that I have been entered into a program that I had no idea was available. This Women's Health Program is coordinated through the state and federal channels, and targets women who have breast and/or cervical cancer, no insurance, and who meet certain income guidelines. Papers were filed to enter this program, but only after an "offical diagnosis" was received from the pathologist after the biopsy. As soon as the approval stamp is put on this application, my cancer treatments, meds, doctors, etc., will be paid for through this program.

I am just so thankful for things like this. Had I known there was anything like this out there, I wouldn't have waited so long and let it get so bad before getting help. I just thought there was nothing there to help, so just did nothing.

I don't know how to make this known to women who are in the same situation and need help. I wouldn't have known if I had not gone for that first mammogram offered free in my area. It was these kind people who were so concerned and made the phone calls without me even knowing about it. I got home and the phone rang, and this wondefully kind lady explained who she was, asked about my symptoms, how bad it was, etc., and lined up all the testing and appointments for me.

All I can do is direct people to this agency if I hear of anyone in the same situation, just as some of you have passed on information to me.

As soon as I hear from this program that I have been approved and accepted, funding will begin. It should be any day now, and things will begin to move more quickly. At least I have been able to start the medication the doctor wanted me on, and within a week or so, will be starting more thorough diagnostic scans, etc.

If any of you are reading this and hesitating from going to a doctor or from seeking help due to finances, etc., please know that there IS help out there. Don't be too proud to ask and seek it out. GOD WILL MAKE A WAY for you!

Again, thank you a million times over for all your love and outpouring of prayers and support! You just don't know how much it means to me and how much it has strengthened me over the past few weeks! God has made a way for me through what I thought was an impossible situation, and I know He will do the same for each one of you, too! I love you all so much!!!!
