Alberta, (Praise report from 3-08)
I have just returned
from seeing my oncologist and wanted to give you an update as
many knew I would get test results today. How powerful prayer
is and good God is! My doctor came into the room scratching his
hair with a look of confusion on his face.
The CAT scans showed
no spreading of the lymphoma and the bone marrow showed what we
already knew....lymphoma. He said it appeared to be confined to
the small intestine (bowel) area and that is what makes it
"tricky" to know what to do. Here I sit thinking, "tricky, my
foot, it is God working through all these prayers going up for
me!" Anyway, I let him talk on and I could easily tell he did
not know what to think because he kept flipping from my
radiology reports, to Dr. Patel's report, etc. So, they want to
do a pill endoscopy on me, probably next Tuesday morning at 7:00
a.m. at Memorial. Dr. Patel and Dr. Arrowsmith have been
consulting about me and I presume Dr. Patel will be the one to
perform this procedure. It will involve me swallowing a pill
that contains a camera and it will go into the bowel area and
make pictures. Then we will go from there.
We all know who gets
the glory in this situation this morning because I have been
lifted up by so many and He is merciful and good. Thanks to all
who have been praying for me, for the words of encouragement
(even though I have been positive all along), and for the hugs,
pats, and loving care shown to me over the past couple of weeks.
I asked for a time
frame if they watch and wait. Dr. Arrowsmith said that was hard
to determine and he has only one other patient like me and they
are in their 6th year. I think I will beat that record!!
Thanks for getting
the word out for me.
Dianne
