It is a good news/bad news situation. First the good news: The tumor is completely gone. there was no metabolic activity. The bad news: they found a 5 mm lesion on the right upper lobe of my lung. The radiologist report said " Suspicious of metastasis from primary tumor". My oncologist feels that this is highly unlikely but right now he can't prove it. The lesion is too small to biopsy. The only thing to do is to wait for 2 months and do a high resolution CT scan. If it is cancer, it will have grown larger. If it is not, it will be the same size. I started to go down the road with the oncologist about what we will do if it is a metastasis but then I stopped. I don't want to even think about going through any more treatment.
When I left the oncologist office, I broke down and sobbed. I didn't care about all the people around me trying not to look at me. I thought the worst thing I was facing was more surgery. It never even occurred to me that I was facing a metastasis and then or course there is the BIG D (death) looming in the background.
I talked to my Dad right after this and he reminded me that back in Nov. when things looked really bleak he prayed to God and the Lord told him that I would be healed. He says he believes that this is still true. I am going to believe that as well.
Thanks again to all my friends for your love, prayers and healing thoughts. I couldn't make it through this without you!
Love you all,
Margaret
