The evening prior when my husband and I were talking I asked him if he could email a bicycling friend who happens to be a medical oncologist at Mayo to see if he would be willing to speak to me about my news. Don emailed Dr. Tim Moynihan and he was more than willing to talk, he provided his work and cell #.
Well, if you know me at all I wasn't going to wait until Monday to talk to him so I called him Saturday to see if he would be willing to take me on as a patient or if he could recommend someone to me. He offered some good advice and offered names of other great oncologists at Mayo. We chatted for a while and he asked if I minded that he review my records which I was more than willing to say YES to. On Sunday I received an email from Dr. Moynihan stating that he had put in some orders for test early that next week.
He had ordered a PET scan, blood work, an MRI of the breast and an appointment to see him also.
On Saturday, I asked Don if he would take me to the little chapel at our church. In the chapel area of the church they have what they call Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. This means that someone from the church is always present and praying 24/7 to the Blessed Sacrament, so this area is always open and available.
At this point in my life I needed to be in His presence and basically give it all up to Him. What was happening to me was way beyond my control and I was more or less drawn there. It was a very emotional moment for me and I felt He would be with me throughout my journey. I had a calmness come over me and knew that I just had to listen for His Words and He would guide me. Praise the Lord!!
