This afternoon brought several items of good news and praise!- First, the surgeon called and spoke to Dave while I was having my PET scan. The pathology is back on both the biopsies done last week, and both are clean as a whistle! No cancer in those two "suspicious" spots! Hurrah! Thank you, Lord!
- Secondly, I am done with the PET scan. It wasn't as bad as I had feared, though one would not want to do it more often than absolutely necessary. The worst part was my neck after falling asleep in a chair waiting for the radioactive sucrose to run its course and then holding my arms above my head with my elbows at my ears for 45 minutes. My poor ruptured disc doesn't like these things. And I forgot to ask what the radioactive element is, and my nuclear chemist hubbie wants to know, so now I have to research that for him, so he can calculate the half-life for me :-) We now wait for the report from the PET, which should be here by Wednesday.
Thank you all for your prayers, and we will keep you posted here as the week develops! God is so good!

Oh, my! Praising God with you for that good news, and continuing to pray for the PET scan results.
Dear Chris,
I am rejoicing with you over this good news. You continue to be in my prayers ~ I wish I lived closer so that I could provide a bit more tangible assistance.
Love, and many prayers,
Anne
