Wow, it's been an interesting few weeks, to say the least. Office visit to the specialist on a Monday, biopsy two days later. The following Monday receive the pathology report, then four days later at the Women's Center for MRI. Consultation with the Plastic Surgeon this past week. Next week, a follow-up with the Breast Specialist.
As many of you know, I have some experience with doctor visits, specialists, and disappointing test results. I walked alongside Alan for years while he bravely faced each challenge. Although he never had a cancer diagnosis, the loss of good health is less about the particular disease, and more about the uncertainty of the best possible health in the future. We want to know "What is the treatment?", "How long is the recovery?", "What are the expected results?", etc.
These are the questions for which we need answers. As we talk with Dr F next week, we need wisdom. These are questions with multiple choice answers, with no "wrong" answer. Answer A might initially give you a simpler procedure, but involve complicated procedures in the future. Answer B might be more difficult initially, but less complicated long term, with risks. Answer C....well, you get the idea.
We so appreciate your continued prayers on our behalf. Many are obviously praying for peace, this we know because we have peace. We need wisdom for decisions to be made in the next week.
"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." James 1:5-6
