It's about to begin!

Praise the Lord. Treatments are set to start. I'll pick up the steroids tonight and start taking them in the morning. Next Tuesday or Wednesday I will have chemotherapy.

Waiting was hard. Now I know when chemo begins even though it's almost a week away. Also, I think I will feel better taking the steroids. They will shrink the tumours that are causing me pain.

Cancer Free

 Today I had a phone appointment with my oncologist. She's looked at the CT, and PET scans and said that the PET scan showed no residual cancer. That means cancer free! I am really thankful for all of the support and prayers that have been a part of this whole journey. That's been overwhelming. I'm a little unsure of exactly how I feel. I was expecting a cancer free report, but it was nice to have it officially. I'm going to be glad to get back to normal life. School has started and I'll be nice and busy again until June. Thank you for reading this and for your support.

Biopsy

Today, March 3, I went to get a biopsy.  There was a lot of waiting and prep work. I met a Beacon Christian School Grad who was working at the hospital. After a long time, they took another scan of my insides so they could see what they were working with. Then they drew a target on my back and gave me two needles. One of them was made to grab stuff out of my insides so that they can look at it under a microscope.   It didn't take very long and it didn't really hurt. I'm kinda sore now. But, I'm really thankful that the procedure could happen.

A Slow Drip of Information

Mrs. Lee and I went to Walkers Cancer Clinic today to find out the results of the biopsy. The biopsy shows that I have b-cell lymphoma.  That is a cancer of the blood in the lymph nodes.   I also learned that I won't find out about treatment until I meet with the specialist on Friday morning. I'll have to wait a little longer.  The specialist is Dr. Waida.  This doctor told us that Dr. Waida is fabulous.   She also said that I'd have to have a bone marrow biopsy right away. That will probably take place Friday morning or possibly on Monday. I am grateful that things have gone quickly and smoothly.  I have been eating a lot better food lately and I'm feeling good physically. I am also encouraged. We received several meals, lots of cards, and many people saying that they are praying. We are surrounded by the most wonderful people. Proverbs 3:7-8 says: Do not be wise in your own eyes;     fear the Lord and shun evil.  This ...
