Dear Family and Friends,
This past two weeks or so have been a whirlwind journey. I never thought I would have to face anything as ugly as Breast Cancer in my life. Yes, it's been confirmed. I am fine and dealing with it as best I can with the wonderful support of my husband, Hans.
Here is what we know for sure:
· It is Stage One (so that is great news).
· It is less than 1 cm (also very good news).
· 3 negative receptors. This means I can't use the hormone treatment.
· Surgery is a must. It is there and it must be taken out.
· Chemo is a must. In order to isolate the spread of this thing, we have to kill the travel of it.
Personal Note:
· It is in God's hands so I don't have to worry or carry the burden. I just need to listen and take care of it.
· I will need a support group for me and one for my husband. This affects him too.
· A friend gave me tons of scriptures for healing. I will take that to heart. Thanks Tommie.
I will be taking a leave of absence from school. It will be easier that way. I am doing well in school and plan on completing my studies. It still doesn't seem real. But I know it is there. It's like I hear the words and they just aren't settling in my heart. We haven't made the decision yet for which course to take.

We have Trakfones now and it gets a bit costly to use up the minutes. So, forgive us if we want tokeep it brief on the phones. I don't hear well on the phones sometimes anyway. So face to face is better. In time we will probably hook up the Magic/Jupiter Jack to keep down the costs. That is $20 a year after the initial set up. Not sure how it works but I hear it is great.

Pray daily, I don't really know what else to say about it except to pray daily. We will keep you all posted.
Much love,
Vicki & my loving husband Hans Hass
