Ups and Downs...
Yesterday started out gorgeous. We went into pigeon forge to get a few supplies, took our annual trip to The Knife Museum and then went back to camp for a few hours. We played in the creek and saw an otter. He was very friendly. I've never seen one up here before.
Later we went into Gatlinburg for our annual dinner at the Hill Billy Mellow Mushroom. While I was there I received a voicemail from my Doctor. She had called while I was up at camp.
They found a couple more places on the MRI that they want to check with ultrasound and biopsy. A spot on the left that may just be a cyst and on the right where the cancer is the nymph node looks enlarged. She said not to worry they can do it as soon as I get back. So Monday at 2pm I'll have 2 more biopsies.
Of course I'm worrying. I cried. I couldn't stop. The happy mood of the evening was ruined. We walked down to the candy kitchen and I got a caramel apple but I couldn't finish it.
I have 2 more appointments scheduled. One with a radiology oncologist and one with Cape Fear Cancer Center for new patient stuff.
This is one of those posts I warned you about. There are days I'm going to be discouraged and angry and terrified and this is one of them. But even in the midst of all that, I know I am never alone. My God has promised to never leave me. He comforts me and strengthens me.
Specific Prayer Requests:
1. Genetic test negative
2. Next ultrasound and biopsy to be benign
3. Surgery scheduled soon
4. Strength & bravery & peace
5. Prayer for my family
