CT Scan Results

The CT scan went well.  They only had to stick me once to get the IV started.

When I saw my oncologist on Friday, she told me that the scan showed that I have another 3 cm mass. This time it's on the left side. She is concerned because the type of cancer I had is a more aggressive one and one that is harder to "cure".  If it is cancerous, that means I will have to have another surgery and she will change the type of Chemo that I am on.  I will have a PET CT scan done sometime this coming week and see my doctor on Nov. 1st for the results.  This test should tell them if it is cancerous or not.  My next chemo treatment is on hold until after they determine if I have to have surgery. This news was disheartening at first, but I am handling it much better today.  Please pray that this mass will be benign..

  In Christ Alone

By  Keith Getty, Stuart Townend

In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song; this Cornerstone, this solid Ground, firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled, when strivings cease! My Comforter, my All in All, here in the love of Christ I stand. In Christ alone! who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless babe! This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones he came to save: Till on that cross as Jesus died, The wrath of God was satisfied - For every sin on Him was laid; Here in the death of Christ I live. There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain: Then bursting forth in glorious Day Up from the grave he rose again! And as He stands in victory Sin's curse has lost its grip on me, For I am His and He is mine - Bought with the precious blood of Christ. No guilt in life, no fear in death, This is the power of Christ in me; From life's first cry to final breath. Jesus commands my destiny. No power of hell, no scheme of man, Can ever pluck me from His hand; Till He returns or calls me home, Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
