First visit with Thoracic Surgeon
Dear Friends
Truly it has been a while since I've visited with you. I've been very distracted with interior decorating in my home. I have this most precious friend who had this wonderful idea of "encouraging me" at this difficult time in my life.
She not only encouraged me with decorating my home ( we have more work to do), but she wore me & Roosevelt out. However, things look wonderful and we had lots of fun. I almost forgot about cancer.
Now for todays visit with Dr. Mason, the Thoracic Surgeon at Cleveland Clinic. He has scheduled me to have another biopsy on June 14th. (Wed.). This test will be done under general anesthesia. He will check the lypmhnodes and see how much involvment there is in the lymphnodes, and MAKE SURE that we are dealing with cancer in the lymphnodes ( the nodule on the right lung IS cancer), then the doctors can be SURE of the diagnosis, the stage of cancer, and how to treat the cancer. SO DEAR ONES, BE ENCOURAGED, we are almost at the end of the VERY IMPORTANT TESTING that is so important for the doctors to know how to treat the patient. They must know the extent of things, and this requires many various test.
THEY ARE NOT BY ANY CHANCE DRAGGING THEIR FEET. However, they are moving ahead with caution.
So let's pray that the biopsy ( called Mediastinoscopy) will go well, that the anesthesia will go well, and that my recovery will go well. Pray for my families calmness in all of this.
Now let us not grow weary or lose heart, but remember that "OUR GOD REIGNS", He is Sovereign over all". Let us lift up his Holy Name in our Prayers and give Thanksgiving to Him for His wonderful care to me ( and others in our Christian family).
Thanks for all the prayers, the wonderful cards & even tokens of gifts. You know my Times are in God's Hands (Ps.31:15), but my schedule is in the doctors hands at Cleveland Clinic.
May the Lord Bless & keep each and everyone of you.
In His Love

Yes, we will indeed pray and offer thanks for you and for God's perfect plan. His ways are always good, yet not without need for dependence. You are God's child and He cares for you as a dear child. I will have you, Roosevelt and the entire family in my heart, on my mind and in my prayers tomorrow. Hugs, Lou Ann
