Well, Thursday we learned that my liver numbers are slightly up. My doctor said there could be 15 reasons for it, but she was most concerned that the cancer could be back in my liver. So we will be going in on Saturday, Nov. 22 to get a PET scan. That's two weeks earlier than planned. My doctor would want to get us started on chemo therapy as early as possible. She has different plans depending on the results of the scans.
Both Brett and I were concerned. It seems like every time she has a concern that she is right. So we strap in, put our seat belts on and get ready for the next ride.
My port is also not working. Ugg. At this point my doctor said. "This is ridiculous. You need a port that works! I don't want you to have to worry about that any more. You don't need that." So, I'll probably be going in for a surgery to get mine replaced. This is rare that someone needs to do this, but the results of getting it replaced will be good. I want to keep my veins in good condition. A port also helps in distributing the chemo. Pray for good results with a new port please.
I wanted to let you all know that this type of cancer is always considered Breast Cancer. Breast cancer can travel to the lymph nodes, bones, liver, lungs and brain. It is still Breast Cancer and treated as such. It isn't another type of cancer. It has just moved. (Just a little free information.)
Ok, November 22nd is the day of the Apple Cup. We have season tickets and just Brett and I were planning on going. We were both looking forward to it. Brett didn't bat an eyelash and there wasn't even a second thought of missing it. Now, as a true Coug through and through, that's the perfect example of sacrificial love. You may need to be a Coug to understand that one in a loosing season, but just trust me on this one.
So, what does all this mean? Well, here's how I look at it. My circumstances don't dictate or influence God's power, being, or ability to answer prayer. He is on His throne. We are in His hands. We are still praying steadfastly for a miracle. I will trust Him no matter what comes our way. I will choose to look up. I will choose to rejoice, praise Him, love my husband and children and live each and every day to the fullest. I love the verse: This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118:24
Continuing to look up!
