I believe it was Martin Luther King Jr who said: "If you can't fly, run, if you can't run, walk, if you can't walk, crawl, but keep moving forward."
I believe I am entering the greatest challenge of my life --- and I have need to keep moving forward.
The biopsy showed a malignant tumor called oligodendroglioma. I am awaiting the appointment for the oncologist to hear more about it. However, my b-i-l is a doctor and read in texts from 2006 that this is a tumor that cannot be completely eradicated, although it is a slow growing one. I hope there is updated treatment. The surgeon did say he got the core of the tumor and that diverse cells needed to be treated. Not much else, and I guess that's for the oncologist to deal with.
After all that I have been through, I kept hoping, thinking, "maybe it's a benign tumor, or something I can fight." Not that I don't intend fighting, but this is a big battle. I have need of faith and mine is small right now, so I hope that those with greater faith can carry me a little on your shoulders. I continue to pray the Prayer of Jabez:
Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that your Hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil.
This is not a war that I am likely to win, but it seems, I can win many battles and can survive even beyond 10 years. I, again, ask you to pray for me and my family.
PS I have found that not sweating the small stuff is really true. H has been so kind and giving. And, whatcha know --- we ML for the first time last night in more than a year.
Take care y'all.
