My mom needed to see a breast doctor and I asked the hem/onc docs who was the best. They said Dr Donna Stahl. So my mom got in to see her and still sees her today for checkups. Anyway, it has been years since Dr Stahl has taken new patients. I have a friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer about 5 years ago, who could not get in with Dr Stahl. She ended up with one of her colleagues in the same office. This little story is to say that I believe you have favor; the Lord has opened this door to this particular doctor for you. I hope that is some encouragement for you.<BR/>You are in our minds and hearts.<BR/>Toni KraftAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916694289404385518.post-62772616743176315932008-08-27T13:29:00.000-04:002008-08-27T13:29:00.000-04:00Julie,Chris said it was great to talk with Dave la...Julie,<BR/>Chris said it was great to talk with Dave last night--I was on the phone in spirit (physically putting kids to bed and wishing I was on the phone!) Just wanted to let you know we are all praying for you, and look forward to seeing how God will work. I think of you often and miss running around the corner for coffee.

She added the verses from The Message, the part about kneeing butts (she's cracks me up! - no pun intended), and the part about the doctor, etc. She put the title on it and asked me to write a paragraph at the end to tie it in. When I saw the title I thought "Julie, you're so clever!", but originally only thought of the cup being half full vs. empty. Later I had to revise that part when I realized she was alluding to empty bra cups - wow, she's amazing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916694289404385518.post-52541516312288752132008-08-26T23:51:00.000-04:002008-08-26T23:51:00.000-04:00Julie,It was so great to talk to you tonight.

I'm also only a "wee bit competitive". Anyway, we're praying, praying, praying. I love you so much.<BR/><BR/>RachRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273786517741207016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916694289404385518.post-15367046787753908772008-08-26T21:43:00.000-04:002008-08-26T21:43:00.000-04:00Hi Dave and Julie,It sounds like you a have great ...Hi Dave and Julie,<BR/>It sounds like you a have great support team (more like an army really!) and I'm hopeful that your surgery will go well and you'll recover quickly. Just wanted to let you know (not that your doctor might not have already mentioned this - she sounds like a great doctor) but you mentioned waiting until Tuesday to get your pathology report which is true for a Friday surgery. But I wondered if they are going to do a frozen section during the surgery, which is basically having a pathologist look at tissue while you're still on the operating table, and the pathologist performs a "frozen section diagnosis" which can tell the Doctors a quick diagnosis on just a small amount of tissue given for the FS, not the entire specimen of course. Usually in a mastectomy, they will take sentinel lymph node tissue and do a frozen section because the sentinel nodes tell you more about invasion. I work for a pathology office and like I said, I'm sure your doctor has probably already given you every possible scenario, but I just wanted you to know about that option.<BR/>My thoughts and prayers are with you every day.<BR/>Angela HockettAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306039022749528120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916694289404385518.post-5092029012222775062008-08-26T21:06:00.000-04:002008-08-26T21:06:00.000-04:00Okay, I think Dave started out and Julie finished....Okay, I think Dave started out and Julie finished. You will have to let me know if I am right. Julie, that thing you wrote about the cup overflowing is so beautiful. I was at the nursing home tonight and just couldn't stop thinking about it. You are amazing! I want to be like you when I grow up!
