It's been a week since I made an entry and longer since I've been on the scales. I have to admit that it hasn't been a huge priority this week, but I have kept to my eating plan.
We traveled to Anchorage on Tuesday for the PET scan I had to get to find out what is going on with the nodule in my lung that has increased in size during the last 6 months. It was a long and tiring trip, but got it done. That has had to be my priority lately.
The results came back on Wednesday night showing what I already knew in my gut. The nodule is malignant as well as two lymph nodes nearest it. I am being referred to an oncologist (hopefully next week). The interpretation of the results show this as a primary lesion. That is the good news (if there is any in this situation). It is obviously aggressive since it has doubled in size in six months. The sooner I get the oncology appointment, the better I'll feel about the prospects.
It is what it is and we'll deal with whatever has to be done as it comes along. God is gracious. If it had not been for the chest pains last week that sent me to the ER where the CT showed the growth, I would not have had my follow-up scan for another three months. I am so grateful for His intervention in getting the headstart!
There hasn't been any time to catch up on all of you dear friends progress or struggles until now. I apologize for that and pray you are all doing well.
God Bless.
