I HAD PEACE THE ENTIRE TIME . . .

Spent all morning at the doctor's regarding some symptoms that occurred yesterday.  After an examination, she ordered an ultrasound, but I was to wait for the results.  Okay.  I'm not worried.  Was told to have a seat in the small waiting room outside the radiology rooms, and the doctor would call me on the phone in there with the results.  Still okay.

Thirty minutes later, the receptionist came in and said the doctor wanted me to go back upstairs to her office to speak with me.  Hmmmm . . . she wants a face to face rather than informing of the results by phone?  They must have found something.

I was directed to an examination room, the doctor came in, said she wanted to err on the side of caution, and referred me to a specialist for further evaluation TOMORROW.  Something a bit abnormal was found, not necessarily cancer, but it might well be that.  So, the "C" word rears its ugly head. 

I am still fine.  God is aware of this situation in my life, and in fact, He has allowed it.  As a Christian, do I trust Him to carry me through this, which still might turn out to be just a benign thickening of cells?  Of course.   I can trust my God with my health.

Tomorrow I must go to the specialist, who will probably order some kind of biopsy.  I have peace in this situation.  The Lord does not allow anything to happen in my life that He has not approved.  Thank you, Lord, for your mercy, strength, and promises. 

04/20/11 Had the biopsy today and will await the results, which should come tomorrow.  I still have perfect peace over this.  I am loved by family, both near and far.  I have my Creator.  I am blessed! 

And, I will report the findings.

**UPDATE 04/21/11**  My doctor called today with the biopsy results:  NO CANCER!  Amen, and Happy Easter, everyone!!
