Beautiful walk this morning. I thought for a week or so that Spring had missed Wenatchee but the wind is gone today and the temp. is nice and warm enough for me finally.
My scan was not as good as we were hoping. There are 7 tumors total and no swelling. (They kinda' skip over the good stuff) The one tumor they have been watching behind my left ear continues to be 'mad' as they call it. It was 10mm in January and measures 15mm now. They want me to have a CT scan to make sure nothing has shown up in my organs by now and then do another Gamma Knife. The CT scans of course, put 100 times the amount of radiation in your body and we are concerned about having another crazy doze of that. They don't want to do a Gamma Knife on me until I have one.
Calvin has done alot of reach for us and has me doing everything possible to be successful without the radiation and chemo. We are trying to decide if we should wait another month, have another Brain scan with Rockhill and see if the tumor has continued to grow with some of the new protocols we are now adding to my program. If it has, then we will go to Garrison for the CT scan and move to the Gamma Knife. What a difficult thing this is. I feel your prayers. Most days I feel postive and hopeful and then there is days of totally losing it. I am doing my best.
I love the Lord and blessings he continues to send to our family and also to you and yours.
I know everyone has trials and I sincerely mean this...I am not the worst. I think of all of you and want you to know I love you.
"Scatter Sunshine" - Hymn #230
In a world where sorrow ever will be known
Where are found the needy and the sad and lone,
How much joy and comfort you can all bestow,
If you scatter sunshine everywhere you go.
Slightest actions often meet the sorest needs
For the world wants daily little kindy deeds.
Oh, what care and sorrow you may help remove,
With your songs and courage, sympathy and love.
When the days are gloomy, sing some happy song;
Meet the world's repining with a courage strong.
Go with faith undaunted thru the ills of life;
Scatter smiles and sunshine o're itstoil and strife.
Scatter sunshine all along your way.
Cheer and bless and brighten every passing day!
Janae
