I thank the Lord for the life He has given me, especially the cancer. I can only take the view that it has strengthened me in my faith and deepened my relationship with Him. I know without a doubt that I am not alone in this journey, and that I am loved more than I can ever imagine. As I write this, I feel Him with me now. Praise God! He gets all the glory!
I had a follow-up appointment this week with Dr Deleeuw, the oral surgeon. The lump turned out to be a benign mucus-filled cyst consistent with mucocele. In other words, I bit my cheek and it became infected. Who knew this could happen!
I am scheduled to have the cat scan on Monday June 23 and the pet scan on Wednesday June 25. Then I see the radiology oncologist, Dr Callister and the oncologist Dr Parapatti on Thursday. Get this! I wrote a few months back that I had met with the surgeon, Dr Heppell and did not like him AT ALL , but that he did come highly recommended. Guess who is on vacation the month of July? Is this God's timing or better yet, his sense of humor! I had a feeling that he was not the best doctor for me but I also wanted to go with my oncologists viewpoint. I don't think that my surgery will wait on him. Interesting! Guess my comment to him that he was a "bad news bear" was rather funny after all! Also, I would guess that he has never been called this to his face by a patient in his life!
I ask your prayers for these scans. My surgery depends of the outcome of what the scans show. I pray that the scans will show the tumors have shrunk considerably and that it will be a routine surgery to remove all traces of the tumors and that the radiation will forever remove cancer from my body. I also pray that there is nothing new and that the tiny shadow on my lung has not gotten larger but is actually nothing. I have been thanking the Lord for healing me. I look forward to hearing the good news!
