“I heard the words, no woman wants to hear;
breast cancer”
Cancer, in less than a week,
has impacted my life. It has brought to my attention to enjoy what’s important
and who is priority right now. Each day I now smile about what is going well.
I have put together a team: my family, prayer warriors,
researchers, doctors and friends. My family and I have found the best course of
action by interviewing/consulting doctors. Over the weekend, within 24 hours of
finding out the news, I had a surgeon lined up, referred by two different
sources; and was accepted as a patient at Mayo Clinic. We are taking the
necessary steps to treat this. I am a strong and determined woman. Cancer will have to deal with me and my God.
I consider myself blessed and fortunate that the tumor was found early and the
prognosis is promising. As a Christian, I do not have a spirit of fear, and I
firmly believe some good will come out of this.
My focus is:
#1 My God, “So
be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to
endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your
faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold.
(I Peter 1:6-7).
(I Peter 1:6-7).
#2 My Family & Friends / Team of Doctors – I am thankful
for my husband and daughter. I am blessed to have the support system I have.
#3 My Work and Civic Duties – I will always be planning the next event.
I share my faith and love with all of you who have been
supportive throughout my life journey and decisions. I thank you for the texts,
the messages, the research, the referrals, the meals, the books, the CD’s, but
most of all, I thank you for who YOU are!
God bless.
Donna Guzzo
You WILL beat this because of your strength as a woman and because you are strong in your Faith. You are in my thoughts, prayers, and in my heart. Sabes lo mucho que te quiero.

DeleteDonna, I have put out a prayer request to the 130 women on my church prayer chain - we're with you in this! Love, Ginny
ReplyDeleteHeavenly Father, we lift this daughter of grace to you knowing how much you love her! We pray that you will give Donna continuing strength as she fights this battle and that the loving family and friends who surround her to encourage and support her throughout this whole experience will all be confident that you are with her in this. We pray that you will guide her physicians to give her the best medical care possible and that you will keep her free of pain and discomfort as she undergoes further testing and procedures. Lord, we pray for a miracle! We pray that Donna's tumor will be miraculously healed and that your Holy Will for her life will be one of example to non-believers that all good things come to those who believe in you and in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! Send your Holy Spirit we pray into her body to fill her with your light and grace and to banish any and all illness. And as Jesus taught us, we pray: "Our Father who art in heaven."
"Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me." John 14:1
Amen. Thank you Ginny. Xxoo
