Welcome Family and Friends to "What's the latest with Sara! " blog !

Since I have been diagnosed with breast cancer, I have been told numerous times that I am on a journey. I have known for almost that long that I am not alone on the journey. I learned quite awhile back that what happens to one also impacts all of those in that person's life in varying degrees.
The purpose of this blog is to allow you to check in whenever you have the time to see what the latest is. I know that I need you-your love, prayers, testimonies, and support. I am richly blessed with loving, caring, amazing family and friends. I am so grateful for you. Thank you for your part on this journey.

Prayer Answered

This past week has been more of a struggle than the previous ones.  On Friday the soreness or pain from the damaged skin increased.  Interestingly I prayed that I might know how to take care of my skin and myself better (I have prayed for this often throughout the last months of treatment, as I realized I have a responsibility in all of this too.), later as I thought back over the day, I realized that is just what happened.  While waiting a few minutes for my treatment Friday morning, one of the therapists that I don't see every day walked by.  She asked how I was doing and my skin, I showed her.  She said that it looked pretty angry and asked about pain and if they had given me more on Tuesday.  She said that she'd talk to the nurse and they would talk with me after my treatment.  The other therapists asked me to wait when I got dressed and the nurse would come and get me.  We went to one of the examining rooms.  Dr McCallister wasn't in, but Dr.  Harris was. (I hadn't heard of him before.)  She talked with me and then he came in, looked at my skin and then asked me about and shared with me things I can do to help manage the pain and care for the skin.  It was really helpful.  I'm sure I would have learned more sooner, but I hadn't had much of a problem with it before.  I'm so grateful for prayer and the great love that my Heavenly Father shows to me always.
