Prayer for Grant Bockwinkel
Dear Dad in heaven, it is not my time to join you until I have done as you, and hugged my grandchildren. Please intercede with our heavenly host that He may “grant” this ambition. By the will of God, we pray. Amen.

Cancer Novena
I have posted this before...this time I post for specific reason...THIS ONE...
Mellissa Johnson:
It started on Wednesday, January 11, 2017 I was shaving my underarms with a dull razor. Usually its 3-4 swipes with the razor and done, no looking necessary. But today with a dull blade I looked over the work. I realized my armpit was swollen; I poked and found a lump that was tender. I called my midwife and was able to get in to see her that day. She also found the lump and it was also visible as a lump on ultrasound. She got an appointment for me to see a radiologist for a mammogram and ultrasound the next morning. I was in, did the imaging and not only was a large lump found in the left armpit another was discovered on the left breast. They did a core biopsy that morning and on Saturday, January 14, 2017 I got the phone call that I did indeed have cancer. The official name for my specific breast cancer (who knew there were so many?!?) is Grade II score 7 invasive ductal carcinoma, HER2+ with metastatic carcinoma arising in the breast. Ya, quite the mouthful. Learning what this all means is the scariest thing in the world. Its pretty aggressive, but then again, so am I! I won't be a Breast Cancer Survivor, I will be a Breast Cancer Warrior and will utterly destroy this enemy.
