Upgraded to Stage 3!!

Friday March 30, 2012

I had a followup appointment with the surgeon who implanted my port last week. Jeannee came again and took me. The doctor said that everything looks great, except the cancer. He still asked me more questions about my lifestyle trying to understand how I could have gotten lung cancer. It just doesn’t make sense. I guess it doesn’t really matter how I got it. I have it and now my job is to be positive and do everything in my power to take care of myself and trust in the Lord so that I can get rid of this invasion of my body.

Lincoln was home in time to take me to the follow up appointment with the oncologist this afternoon. We counted it as our Friday date night. Hahah The doctor took my blood and ran the regular tests. She says I look great and not to worry too much. She told us the awesome news that the PET Scan came back negative for any other signs of cancer. Wohoo! I was so happy. She also mentioned that after looking at my chart and my reports that she’s decided that I am more of a Stage 3 Lung Cancer patient! Wohoo again! What a great day! 

Some may think that the doctor just changed her mind about my state of cancer; I know that God is in the details and I recognize His hand in this incredible journey. I am so grateful for Him who knoweth all things and sustains me each and every day!
