hey all
thanks so much for all the support and prayers thus far! it's been good and i truly believe making this process easier.
anyhoo...
took an MRI test yesterday and got the results today. the report said that the lump in my right leg inner thigh area is most likely another sarcoma (ie. cancerous tumor). 
have an appt with stanford on the 22nd to have a look at the MRI and more properly diagnose the lump. waiting on that office to get back to my request to get in sooner.
one thing to my advantage is that the previous chest/abdomen/pelvic bone/bone scan tests came up clear so that would mean that vital organs and bones are ok and that perhaps this lump is isolated (just like the one in the left leg was). 
looking into a monterrey county hospital financial assistance program just to see what they can offer and plus, it don't hurt to apply.
cried a little bit throughout the day but just trusting that God is in control and that He's working out the best for everyone.
i've been meditating on john 11:
1Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. 3So the sisters sent word to Jesus, "Lord, the one you love is sick." 4When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it."
it may be counter-intuitive but i have been feeling God's love more than normal throughout this whole process. it is also my hope that in my seemingly cruddy situation, Jesus may be glorified.
thanks for journeying with me thus far!
with love
dennis (sorry for not incorporating as much humor as the previous emails. not as chipper at the moment). 
please pray for my family, julia, friends, and friends of friends that life would be invoked through my cancer. |
