Wow, what a year!! 2007 started off pretty typical for us then BANG, January 23 changed everything. To be honest, I'm glad 2007 is done and we're looking forward to a calm and uneventful 2008!! I've had several people ask me "so what's next?"
Well, next Monday, January 7 we meet with Dr. Downey (Kristi's oncologist). We're guessing that he will have the results of all of the biopsies at this appointment. People have asked "aren't you going to call to find out the results?" Why? Why would we do that? Tomorrow is already Wednesday. If we called tomorrow and the results aren't what we're praying for then we'll just sit around and be anxious all weekend. We don't want to do that to ourselves. We've been enjoying the good news we received on December 18. We're praying that the results all come back negative. He took dozens of samples from all over her abdominal area as well as her liver. If they come back positive, then we start down another path of unknowns for who knows how long. This will be a huge appointment for us. As Monday gets closer, our anxiety will grow. Please pray that we can just focus on today and the good news we received 2 weeks ago and not let the anxiety overtake us.
We had one miracle on December 18, please pray for another one and that all of the test results come back negative. We're not sure what the next steps are. I think either way he will want to do 2 more rounds of chemo. My request for tonight's posting is that everyone pray just as hard as we did for the December 18 surgery and that all the tests come back negative and that the CANCER IS GONE...FOREVER!!!
Thanks for praying!!!
