"In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation" (Psalm 5:3). With GREAT joy, I am so glad to share with you that I just received my best test results in the last 2 1/2 years!!!
Recently, I've been battling worse-than-usal aches and pains. My doctor ordered a set of tests--bloodwork, x-rays, the usual. When I didn't hear back from her last Friday, I'm sorry to say that I became slightly concerned. The adage that "no news is good news" doesn't always apply if you have stage IV cancer, so I was kinda worried. Just keepin' it real. Anywho, I called my oncologist's office Monday afternoon to find out what's the dealie!
She told me the following: We have GREAT news! The x-rays showed that the chemo has been working!! In fact, the large cancerous lesions that were on the linings of your lungs are almost invisible. The right lung is clear and the lesion on the left lung is nearly undetectable. That's miraculous!
If you know even a little about my health crisis last summer, my cardiologist and pulmonologist did not give me much chance to live. To come back this far in just over a year is nothing short of a miracle! I want to thank EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU for pouring your hearts out to God on behalf of me and my family! God hears and answers prayers! I marked my prayer list by writing the date of 10-13-2008 by it.
Love always,
Janet
