Ok, guess it is time to write about what has been going on. A couple weeks ago I asked for prayers for me. I could not go into details at that time because I really had no answers myself but I do now. In June 2013 I was told by a dr. that I was in stage 4 lung cancer. Obviously he was wrong but I also knew I was suffering from something but after changing drs and having a horrible year and 1/2 with another dr. telling me in Aug. of this year that I did NOT have cancer, I finally asked for a second opinion. Not one of my many drs had addressed the 75 lbs of weight that I had loss during this time without trying or any of the other issues going on only explaining everything as ANXIETY. Two days after I was seen by the pulmonary department in Burlington I received a call from, yes, THE DOCTOR HIMSELF, telling me I needed to return to have a biopsy. The little spot in my left lung that was there all the time had been growing and was suspicious. Not once in the time before that had that spot been addressed. To weeks later I was admitted to the FAHC for the biopsy. Unfortunately I was one of those rare ones that ended up with a pneumothorax and needed to stay in the hosp. for 3 days and had a chest tube inserted.to re-inflated my lung. I was discharged on Thursday and again received a call from my DR. himself that I indeed had lung cancer. I was scheduled for a PET SCAN for this past Monday and a meeting for the team to tell me the results and their plan. The result is---The cancer is still contained only in that one spot and although it is small and I am only in Stage 1 the decision was made for them to remove the upper lobe of my lung to make sure there is no chance it will travel. This is the second time I have had cancer--in 2006 I had it in my kidney and it was removed by cryosurgery and my kidney is fully operating at 100%. This time it will be a lot more invasive but I have every faith in the hosp., drs., and all the staff at FAHC. I am so happy I insisted on a second opinion and only wish I would have done it sooner. Maybe other measures could have been used but I cant look back. Please continue to pray pray pray for me to come thru this like the last time and I will have many good years left to do Gods work for Him. Also, I am going to be looking for a babysitter for my 2 little angel furbabies. There may be a possibility that Marci can go with me since she is a service dog but I might have to rethink taking her. It will be a lot easier in her and probably more difficult for me to leave her for the week I will be in the hosp. If anyone in the area wants to offer to furbaby sit, please message me. I am open to offers but have to feel secure that they will be coming home the day I return home. Thank you all for the previous prayers and I love you all. This is just another little bump in the road of lfe but I know God is with me ALL the time and I am not finished with His plan for me here yet. Be blessed today and always.
