Will you please pray for me?

Question

During a self breast exam, very dark blood was expressed from my left breast. Of course, I'm trying not to freak out, but it's hard, considering the main (and I believe ONLY) reason for it would be a tumor or cyst of some sort. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning.

I need all the spiritual help I can get right now. Will you please pray for me? I've dealt with cancer in my family, and I know it's going to be a long haul, no matter what it turns out to be. Even if it's benign, I'll always wonder in the back of my mind if it's coming back to steal my life away.
I'm 33 years old, visually impaired, have two young children, and married to a man who's life is going to be cut short due to COPD. I'm not asking for it to be something it's not. I know God doesn't give any challenge that cannot be overcome. I'm asking for the strength and endurance to see it through to the end, whatever end that may be. I need wisdom along the way to provide for and protect my children.

Peace

Thank you all so much. My hands are shaking and I can barely see through the tears. I can't even read all of your responses right now. I know the Lord is at work...

And I'll keep you updated if you request it in your answers. An online prayer list, if you will...

Peace

COPD is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It's basically mucus and damaged lung tissue that builds up and builds up and eventually lessens airflow to the point of suffocation (not enough oxygen to carry out bodily functions). His mom died of it when she was at 16% normal air flow. He was diagnosed in August and is already down to 68%.

Well, I just got back from the doctor's. He found a "bit of swelling" and is "very concerned". I had blood drawn for some tests, and I'm going for a mammogram tomorrow and will follow up with a breast specialist.

If you want to keep updated, star this question and I'll keep extending it until I get some answers. Thank you all for your continued love and support.

Blessings

I'm beginning to hate this already. I had the mammogram (not as uncomfortable as I thought it would be) but the tech said the radiologist found nothing abnormal. However, a lump was found in my RIGHT breast...not the one that is bleeding. They did an ultrasound on that area and found NOTHING...like the lump wasn't even there!! I know I'm not imagining this...my husband even felt it! It's about the size of a pea. What the heck is going on??? This is NOT normal!! A lump in one and blood from the other...oi.

Hopefully, I'll get some answers when I follow up with the women's clinic. Maybe they can do a biopsy or something. *sigh*

Well, I guess I've extended this as far as I'm allowed to go. I'll report any progress in the "comments" section.

I've got an appointment on Monday at a women's clinic and will go from there. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all...

Dear Father in Heaven, I lift up this one to you now & ask you to surround her with Your peace and comfort. You have created her for Your glory & purpose and I pray You bless her with assurance of Your love. Fill her with confidence of Your prescence and the strength to face any difficulties ahead. Give wisdom to her doctors & nurses, technitions, & all who will be taking care of her. Please remove all fear in her heart - we know fear comes from Satan. You are our strength, our safe refuge, our protecter, and our Lord. It's You and You alone Who can move the universe. You are Creator of all we see and the sustainer of life. Wrap her in your arms tonight and give her rest & a new resolve to trust You with her life. Thank You for loving us & being available to us. You are truly a loving Father Who cares for His children.

Answer 2

I'll be praying for you. First of all for your peace in this matter, then for the wisdom of the doctors to determine the best treatment options for you.

I don't know if this will be any consolation or not, but my former sister in law had the same situation (bleeding from her breast) and was convinced it was cancer. Through medical tests, the bleeding from her nipples turned out to be something relating to her hormones instead of being cancerous. So, this may not be cancer at all.

I know when things are stressful, it's hard not to think on bad things and it's easy to get tunnel vision, but take things one day at a time. Cancer treatments are improving all the time, and you are doing everything you can to increase your chances of survival. You did a breast self-exam and you're going to the doctors. Now, it's time to rest until you see the doctor. You've also asked for prayers, and yes, I will be praying for you.

Take care and let God do the worrying tonight, okay?

EDIT: We'll want to know how things turned out for you. Could you send me an e-mail message via my avatar and let me know how the test results come out (just remind me that you had the breast cancer scare)???

I am in China, but I am a Christian.
I will pray for you. May God be with you always.

There is a book I would invite you to read. It is from almost 500 years ago and is the best work on the subject of adversities in our lives. I am also a Christian and the book gave me strength when I was suffering from lots of things when I was younger. The book is in English. Hope it helps.
It is called: The Dark Night of the Soul By St John of the Cross. It can be found online to read here:
