Test Results

Easter 2012

This afternoon Jeremy and I went back to the surgeon's office to learn the results of the biopsy he had done last Thursday.  As I mentioned before we have had a lot of peace over this weekend and we were still feeling it this afternoon.  However, the waiting was not easy. We sat in the little room waiting for the doctor for about 15 minutes.  It felt like an eternity.  Like Christmas morning.  Gone wrong.  But we were ok.


Though the full results will not be back for about a week the first test show that the tumor is a sarcoma cancer. At times in life I've tried to imagine how difficult it would be to hear word like "cancer" or "accident" in regards to my husband or children.  I always envisioned myself bent over in physical pain.  Wanting to throw up.  Running out the door.  Weeping uncontrollably.  Instead there was a peace.  I think we both were prepared for these words.  We don't know why we have to walk this road, but God is and will continue to be honored and glorified and He's still in control.  We're seeing it.  While I desperately wanted to hear "benign" I know the longer we walk this journey more glory God gets.   


I'm processing a lot.  I keep trying to type, but then I delete it.  


Our next step is to set up an appointment with the surgeon who will do the needed surgery.  For now, we're going to keep living.  Keep laughing, keep crying, keep believing.
