You may notice that there is a “Pink” dishcloth. That is because life has taken a bit of a turn, on my side of the mountain. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. The test results are showing good things. I am in the middle of the treatment phase, but I will share my progress in my group on Facebook. In the meantime, I hope you will catch my “Pink” vision and crochet a pink Christmas ornament two, as a tribute to Breast Cancer fighters, victims and survivors.
I want to give God all honor and praise for the extreme peace he has given me, during this time. I am still sleeping well and my fear is nonexistent. I truly don’t deserve this gift. It is an extreme blessing, and I can’t thank him enough for this provision in my life. God is so good! Proverbs 3: 5 & 6 KJV

Thank you so much for the pattern. Prayers for successful treatments and for a complete healing. I had breast surgery 2 years ago next month, I had all the signs of something bad, but praise God it turned out to be nothing at all. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers
Your story is an encouragement to me! Thank you so much for sharing it with me, and thank you so much or your prayers. I really appreciate it.
So sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I will be making this pink ornament cloth for a friend who also was newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Her surgery and treatment will start on November 22. Also, I totally agree – our God is great and good and deserves our highest trust and praise. I will remember to pray for you when I pray for my friend!
Thank you so much for the prayers. I am sorry to hear about your friend. I will pray for her. I had my surgery yesterday. It went really well. When they get the pathology reports back, that will determine my course of treatment. The biggest hurdle is done (the mastectomy) I am praying the rest of the process will be just as easy. I hope your friend will have an easy time of it too.
God Bless you Andrea!
