Liz, it's like every area of life -- you do the best you can, and move
on.
You've got a lot going for you, and I think things will become clearer
to you. In my case, I knew I wanted reconstruction, but I thought I
absolutely did not want implants. However, after talking to a lot of
folks while doing my research, I changed my mind completely. The more I
asked, the more things became clear. And yes, 3 years later, I feel I
made the best choices I could have, under the circumstances. Here's what
I am going to pray for you: that you will receive answers to your
questions that feel right to you; that the fear and anxiety in your
heart will be stilled; that God will bring exactly the right people and
medical care into your life and provide for your financial needs; and
that you will not feel alone as you go through this. Be at peace, Liz.
You will find your answers, and you will get through it. Love, Joicy
