INTRODUCTION
It was like one of those scenes in the movies when there was a loud, heavy silence, and everything was moving in slow motion. Both of the places that we biopsied came back positive for cancer.
Was this really happening to me or was it some kind of cruel dream I couldn't seem to wake myself up from? The ink pen that was in my hand dropped to the floor. My oldest Son Wayne picked it up and began asking the bearer of this news questions as she explained what this meant and what the next step would be. I felt the hand of my husband Wayne Sr. drop from my shoulder and rest on the small of my back. Was I passing out? I heard him say, Patti, it's going to be alright. Wait, that wasn't my guy because there was the sound of tears in his voice. Was this happening to me?
Seeing Guinevere Fuller's mouth moving, I see Wayne's (Jr's) handwriting; I feel my husband's hand squeezing mine, but I can't hear anything but silence. Lord,
I said, Do you have a word of comfort for me?
I know that seems like a funny reaction to this news, however, at that moment, He was all that I could tap into. I couldn't connect with what was happening. I couldn't move. I desired to talk to my Heavenly Father, the one that I dedicated my life, faith, and trust to. I needed my Savior. Whatever the Lord's answer to me was, it would be sufficient. I have known for some time that He has a plan for me, and He Did! He answered me in the moment's stillness. The Lord whispered in my spirit, The Egyptian that You See Today, You Will See No More Again Forever,
and so began my journey with Breast Cancer.
I need to pause right here and speak to you, the one reading this book, and let you know that there is so much more in this book than just breast cancer and Patricia-Eileen. The lessons learned, the experiences shared, the hope conferred, and the fire spread are for You yes You and cancer has nothing to do with it. (That would be a statement that the Holy Spirit would whisper to me often on this journey and I wanted to share with you).
Along this journey that we call life, there are moments when there is no explanation for the information that we just heard or reasoning for the turn that life has taken us on. But one thing is for certain, it is a defining moment in the remaining of our existence. For me it was hearing the words, The tests came back positive for cancer in two places in your breast.
For you it may be the words, I no longer desire to be married to you, I am filing or have filed for a divorce
, It may be After these years at this company I have to let you go
, It could be You will never walk again
, or Your child has died
It could be anything that you never imagined in all of your years that you would ever hear spoken to you. It is news that shakes you to your core and challenges how you perceive your existence and calls on you to decide whether to fight or fall. This book is for you.
It is the domino effect that happens when hearing this type of news. It now touches everyone with whom you are in contact with or that is in your bubble. In my case, it was my husband and my son who heard the Doctor's report with me. It was my husband who sat with me, making sure that I didn't drift away and get lost within myself. Wayne (Jr), my oldest son, contacted his siblings and my brother to let them know about this new direction that our family bubble was getting ready to take. It was these 7 people who were close to me whom I spoke many words of life too, who also referred to me as the strong one. They were now speaking life to me.
The doctor called it A little hiccup
but it was a tsunami as the waves hit the family and friends. The same is true for you. Whatever the situation that your loved one found themselves in, you are now with them and on the sidelines at the same time. Your life has been touched merely because their life has touched you. You have been called to walk through this with them, yet you do not know what that looks like, what it entails, how to be of support, how to carry on with life, how to hold it together and move forward. This book is for you as well.
It is my prayer that as we walk through this journey together; you find things are not always as they seem... that in the middle of this there is an assignment for your life... through this you are being transformed more into the image of the Son and that because of your victory the body of Christ is edified, and the Lord has been glorified.

GOD WANTS TO MAKE A PERSONAL COVENANT WITH YOU
Genesis chapter 15 verse 18, ... In the same day, the Lord made a covenant with Abram...
You have to read the entirety from verse 1 to feel the weight of that statement. If you want to dig in, make a study of chapters 12-17. This would be the beginning of an understanding that this thing called cancer had less to do with a diagnosis than it had to do with learning to live by the word in all aspects of life. I know it feels like I dropped you in the middle of a thought, so let me back up, catch you up, and then move on.
It was December eighth. Exactly one week after having heard that, I had two forms of cancers in my body. I was sitting in a boardroom with a surgeon, a radiology oncologist, a medical oncologist, my doctor, my husband, my two sons, and on the speaker phone were my daughter and brother. We were discussing the journey that I was about to take. All the things that could go wrong, like loss of my hair, pain, burning, and nausea. They were also talking about the loss of my lymph nodes that would determine the stage of the cancer, etc., and to be honest, it got too big for me. I felt overwhelmed, feeling the tears wailing up as my son Michael (the one who is very few on words, who only talks when necessary) says, Hold on. I need you to explain to me what you mean by 'aggressive' you have said that twice now, that one of these cancers is aggressive. What does that mean?
It was as if it sucked the air out of the room and the silence was deafening as we all waited to hear the answer that none of us had the courage to ask. Well, it means that it is a fast-moving cancer that will more than likely result in death in 3-6 months if we don't deal with it right now.
Boom! They pulled the rug out from under me. What was going on?
I remember saying, Let's schedule the surgery for tomorrow
The specialist replied to me, We want you to enjoy Christmas with your family. Let's schedule it for December 29th.
Now what the enemy whispered to me was, We want you to enjoy this last Christmas with your family because this cancer is going to kill you. This is how you leave here
So there I was again talking to my Daddy God. I couldn't wait to get to our prayer meeting or either my prayer closet to cry out to Him. I needed God NOW! I froze in my chair and to be honest, from a psychologist position (Physician, heal thyself right) I would have said that I dissociated. When in all actuality I was trying to figure out the quickest way to run out of that room down to the hospital chapel to pray.
Here's what happened. The Lord called me to Him and shook me out of that state and said these words to me: First, no one has the authority to put an expiration stamp on your life. I determine life and death. The second thing that he said to me was If you won't accept any other spirit from the devil why are you accepting fear.
Slam on the breaks and let's revisit that. OK! Not now, but a little later in this chapter, we will go deeper.
Then the Lord says to me, Patti, if you will hearken diligently to do the things that I say unto you, if you do not stop preaching, do not stop praying and do not stop praising, I WILL NOT ALLOW THE SIDE-EFFECTS OF THIS TREATMENT TO COME UPON YOU for I am the Lord Your God and I am with you.
Holy Moly! Did you just catch that? The Lord made a covenant with me concerning the journey that I was just about to take, and the Lord wants to make a covenant with you.
No one has the authority to put an expiration stamp on your life. I determine life and death.
So, you just received this devastating news and just when you thought things couldn't get any worse... they do. I get it and completely understand. Let me speak into your life man, woman, teen, and child, that when you are in a right relationship with the Lord, He has something to say about your well-being if you will... listen and hear Him. I need to speak this into your spirit right now. No one has the power or authority to dictate when your life ends. No one! God reserves that power for himself. The enemy is banking on you getting caught up in the soulish or emotional realm so that you receive the word of man over the word of the Lord. He knows that if he can cause you to get so scared that you walk in fear and doubt, the enemy can come to kill, steal, and destroy. The devil knows if he can get you to prophesy or speak of your own failure or death, then he has won the battle.
I know the doctor has knowledge because of what the Lord has given to him. I know your spouse said they are leaving, or they reduced or took away your income. At the end of the day, who do you Trust? The Lord declared in his word that we are to take no thought what we are to eat, wear and live for our heavenly Father already knows what we have need of, so seek Him first.... Seek HIM FIRST and His righteousness and ALL of these things will be added unto you. It doesn't matter what anybody says. It matters what you believe about what God has said concerning you. You must train your ear to press close to the mouth of God, He has something to say to you that no one will understand or come into agreement with because it is for you, and it is concerning whatever you face at this length of your journey.
There are many voices out there, especially in the time in which we live, but I encourage you today whatever has just come
