Bible Verse

We received a dinner, school snacks and a card. The verse inside was wonderful: He does not fear bad news, nor live in dread of what may happen. For he is settled in his mind that the Lord our God will take care of him. Psalm 112:7

Biopsy is Booked

My biopsy is booked for Tuesday March 3. I have another CT scan booked for Thursday March 5. This will focus on the upper chest.

Cancer

For several weeks I had been having stomach pains. I saw the doctor, got some acid reducer medication, and had tests booked. The ultrasound showed something abnormal and a CT scan was booked. (Well, sort of booked. It was requested, but I never did get a date.) While I was waiting I had bad stomach pains and went into emergency at the Welland hospital.  They did a CT scan and it showed cancer. On Tuesday Feb 25th we met with a doctor at the Walker Family Cancer Centre.  He said that it was lymphoma. It's a treatable type of cancer. There are many forms of lymphoma, so they wouldn't know which one until a biopsy was done. He estimated that it would take a couple of weeks to get that biopsy. I was feeling encouraged. I knew that this was in God's hands and that He'd be with me.  I still feel that way. Well, this past week we called a lot of people. We emailed a lot of people. Now we have a group of people praying for me. Thank you.
