10.19.22

The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.

Psalm 28:7

We didn’t get the “good” news we wanted to with our follow ups. They did not get clear margins, which means I will need to go back for another surgery next Tuesday. There was a microscopic cancerous mass in one of my lymph nodes. It’s too small for it them to say it’s positive for cancer but it wasn’t negative for cancer either. It’s equivalent to a pen point. (In order for them to say yes there’s cancer there the mass would need to be 2mm mine is .75mm.) And last but not least there was evidence of lymphovascular invasion. Which means I will more than likely have to have chemo and radiation.

We know God has a plan. Sometimes we just have a hard time seeing the forest from the trees. We are definitely bummed, it wasn’t what we wanted to hear. Please pray for wisdom for my doctors and for us as we’ll be making a whole new round of decisions moving forward. On the plus side I was informed that I would not need to take another covid test for my 2nd surgery… they’ve dropped that now! WAHOO!

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

Psalm 34:17

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10
