Everybody, I just want to give my friends and family this quick update. This is a health update, the breast cancer update, you know, for all the stuff that I've been going through. I just want to tell you all that I still do not have any news.

There is good news, though, in the way that I have had a few tests, and the few tests I have had have said that there's still no confirmation that it's back. So that means, you know, I still have to do one more test, one more pathology report that has to be done, and that has to be done next week with a specialist, because it's a long story. But just know that it's happening next week.

And I had to wait till next week because I only wanted to see her. She's an amazing surgeon, and so it's something that I needed to wait for her. And so I'm going to have that done next week, and I will know.

But I'm going to tell you something, that as my friends and my family, as I'm going into this and I'm on this journey, I want to say that I am going to be not posting so much about cancer. So no matter what the outcome is of this test, I have decided not to post as much about the breast cancer and focus very much on the happy things and the amazing things and the beautiful things, whether or not that means I have to have treatment.

So I'm just going to move forward with wherever Jesus tells me to go, and I'm just thankful. And I'm just going to keep doing all the things that are beautiful that he has for me to do and focus on my life, because I'm thankful I have my friends and my family and so many great things, and Christmas is coming and it's going to be a great Christmas. So I am just going to focus on him.

And I'm thankful. I'm thankful to be here. I'm thankful for my health so far, other than this procedure and these tests going forward. I am doing really good. And so, like I said, I won't know till next week. And then, you know, no matter what happens, I keep my eyes on Jesus and he is with me.
