With my last post, they said nothing was found on abd scan, so I went to radiologist guys....I KNEW something wasn't right. On the 13th I went back to the Radiologist, and they were worried, but couldn't figure out where the pain was coming from. They wanted to order a MRI of my back, but ins said "no". I was Dr Gian on the 18th, and he said I would have one, and rescheduled it for Fri. On Thurs the Radiologists office called and said we would do it then. So, My daughter & I went on up to the office for my MRI. I was in loads of pain, and has to do it in stretches. Results were immediate...not good.My left Plural space was 4/4 full of fluid, the cancer was 50% leaning against my spinal cord, and if we had not found this, I would be paralyzed within a week or so. The cancer is basically all throughout my L side.
On Friday, I had my plural space drained of almost 1000 cc fluid, had radiation tx, and will be continuing-for now. I am having an MRI of my brain on Tues, today. IF the cancer has progressed that far, well, I'm not sure if I am going to keep fighting at that point. God gives us all a stopping point, and I always knew when I would reach mine. I will leave all in God's hands, and completely in His Will.
Not easy, but He has given me extra time. I have had 7+ wonderful yrs with my husband & kids since dx. I pray I have used that time well.
I need to sign off, now. Off to see the good Doc Gian, and then, radiation, then MRI, then.....well, I'll let you know. Pray for me?

ReplyDeleteYou are still in our prayers. I've been overwhelmed as Caretaker for Clinton as his Alzheimer's progresses. I was hospitalized for exhaustion and severe depression. Meds are helping me.
But our suffering is nothing compared to yours and Mike's and your family. Of course none of us will ever suffer like Jesus, so St. Paul calls them 'our light afflictions'.
I don't want to sound like a Pollyanna, but it seems like now would be a perfect moment for God to send you the Miracle your friends have been asking for.
I have little time for surfing the net and haven't checked on your blog. We'll ramp up the intercessory prayers for you, dear heart.
