GOOD NEWS IS WORTH WAITING FOR!  Arrived at the Doctor’s office at 2:00 p.m. today and he was called out for an emergency.  We had the choice of rescheduling our doctor’s appointment or waiting.  We didn’t care how long the wait, we were waiting.  We were called in about 3:30 or so.

BOTH GROWTHS ARE BENIGN!  The first one (which could be felt) was a calcification of of scar tissue and the leftovers from the first tumor I had removed three years ago.  The second, deeper growth is not cancer but I can’t remember what it is exactly.  I was given the option to have the surgery now or when I return in June.  That decision is still pending.  As of right now I am scheduled for surgery March 10th  for the removal of two lumpectomies (also referred to as a partial mastectomy).   I must call tomorrow with my final decision.  That decision is pending.  I am going to sleep on it.

I thank all of you who have been praying for me.  It was a great relief to hear such good news.  I thank God for giving me strength and joy and peace these last days.  Had the diagnosis been different it would not have made a difference in how much I love Him for He is my continual strength, my continual peace, and my continual joy.

Once I make a decision on my departure date I will post it here on the Travel Log and will be contacting all who are on my route to make date arrangements for staying at your home or for the visits we have planned.
