So much has happened since the Fri. before New Years. It is amazing how one phone call can affect your life. Really it wasn't the phone call as much as the uncertainty that it brought. After another heart cat...which was gratefully clear and clean...just a drop of blood and lots of doctors got excited. So to the cancer specialist I went...was told I had one of two blood disease...more blood test and lots of days of waiting ...but the results are in.
I definitely have chronic myeloid leukemia. While this is not curable it is treatable. This was the better of the two choices of what they were looking for. I go Tues. for a treatment plan and I also am having an ultra sound on my spleen, liver, and gall bladder. They feel that my liver and spleen have definite damage due to not catching this in time...
It is nice to be able to rest in the fact that God numbered my days before I was even born and he will take care of me all of those days as well as the rest of my family. Yes, I do have mixed emotions, ups and downs with what I can do each day but God still proves faithful.
So here at the end of this turmoilous day...I get to look forward to tomorrow....MY BIRTHDAY. So Jan. is an eventful month...I was born...Rachel was born...my Dad died...I find out I have cancer...and still God is faithful....he will not give us anything without providing the help we need to get through it....Come quickly Feb.!
