My friend has breast cancer

There, I said it!  I've not wanted to say it out loud.  Kind of like, when you say something out loud, it is real, intiendo?
I haven't wanted to tell the story on here because this isn't my story.  Susie has cancer...it is her story.  But, it affects me too and I know she is fine with my sharing the testimony and I want some of you e-friends to pray and rejoice over her healing...in advance!
Remember how she was accompanying us on the Korea trip?  Well, the day before we were to fly to Seoul, she had a follow up sonogram for a suspicious spot.  This was nothing to worry about because she has a follow up exam every year for dense spots. At 11:15 that morning, I get a phone call from her and I knew her world was crumbling.  I dashed to the hospital where to office was.  Basically, the radiologist was so sure it was cancer that she wanted to biopsy the mass within a few hours.  So at 2:30, Susie had a biopsy.  I paced back and forth in the exam room begging God for it to not be malignant.  By 4pm Susie knew.  I could see it in her face and demeanor; she had breast cancer.  We both knew the Korea trip was out of the question.  Then the doctor's aftercare instructions stated that she couldn't push or pull anything over 5 pounds with the right arm.  Uhh, international trips require lugging a bit more than 5 pounds! 
The next morning, Mom, Abby, and I flew to Korea and Susie stayed home to be with her hubby and 2 children. 
The funny thing is, she feels perfectly fine and healthy.  She doesn't feel like she has cancer.  On Wednesday morning, the day before Thanksgiving, she will have a double mastectomy.  You wouldn't believe her attitude.  She has joked about attending her 30th highschool reunion next summer with new girls, been thankful, joyful, and upbeat.  Oh sure, there are struggles with fear and not sleeping well.  But, we are all praying for healing and that after surgery, she will be free and clear....never to have cancer again!  You know, there are some theologians who say that the healing miracles have ceased, that God doesn't work that way anymore.  BULL CRUD!  Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.  Isaiah 53:5
