No News Today

I did not receive a call today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Patel. I'm sure that means that my original pathology (preserved cells from the breast cancer) has not been received; those cells are surely in storage somewhere and may take more than a few days to be delivered.

I think that the pathology report from the biopsy last week is probably ready because everyone concerned said that it should be ready. Here is the way I look at it, if the report is ready and I did not receive a call today it means that no one took a look at that report and said "Oh my this is horrendous, get her in here now!".

The day started in the most peaceful way possible. The alarm went off as usual and as I was waking my first thought was, "Oh the prayers are working and the tumors are shrinking." It was such a peaceful thought and I felt so blessed. I remember feeling my abdomen and yes, the swelling was still there but I felt less pressure and discomfort so maybe there was less swelling. As I awoke more fully I realized that I must have been dreaming. Instead of feeling sad or depressed, I felt peaceful and thanked God for the wonderful dream and I counted the dream as my first blessing of the day.

Is it real ... are the tumors shrinking and am I being healed, or was it a dream? Only time will tell but what I do know is, the peaceful feeling stayed with me all day. I am so grateful for your prayers, they have brought me peace. Ultimately I don't know how our prayers will be answered with regard to my physical health, but I do know that our prayers for peace, patience, and my continued strength are daily being answered.

I caught a cold this weekend; my second cold since January and likely an indication of the condition of my immune system. Today on my lunch hour I went to the health food store and bought Whey Protein Powder; I have placed myself back on 75 grams of protein per day.

Tomorrow is another day - another day for each of us to continue with love our prayers for one another and to count our blessings.
