Proverbs 3:21-24

Proverbs 3:21-24. "My son, do not lose sight of these-keep sound wisdom and discretion, and they will be life for your soul and adornment for your neck. Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble. If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet."

Remember yesterday when I said just when you THINK you have things figured out, you don't.
Well, both appointments with my doctors yesterday produced more that I had thought they would. The Urologist wants to replace the stint which will be outpatient surgery. The doctor who put in in had told me that it would last for 6 months, this doctor tells me that that is much to long that he recommends 3-4 months, which is where I am now. I have had a small amount of blood in my urine for a few weeks now. This is not unusual but it has just started. I think he is correct, so I will need to have this done.

The Cardoiologist did a heart scan on me a month ago and repeated one last week. He was concerned about the fluid around my heart, which in the past month has increased. He went over several scenerios, all of which were not good, and then he called my Oncology doctor and another doctor who specializes in this condition. There is talk of draining the fluid with a needle to the area. Yes, a needle close to the heart!!! Or a biopsey of the area. The specialist was not as concerned about recurrance of cancer in this area, he thinks it could be just the way I am, but when my cat scan is done, they will look closely at what is going on.

I feel that I need the stent replaced, but I am holding back on the idea of the heart. Please pray that we get the correct answers. This could be linked to the chemo even though this is not one of the common or less common side effects. All I know is that I don't always follow the pattern that everyone else does.
