As fun as it might be, I don't ever wish you are there!
But if we had to go, thankfully we got good news! The scans show the cancer to be stable. No growth or new spots! That's great news! David has also gained more weight. He thinks too much, but it's so much better than where he was last September, that everyone at MDA says he's doing great!
The trip was good, good weather, not awful traffic, less patients at MDA (due to new system they are implementing), shorter wait times because - less patients, and some beautiful Indian Paintbrushes and Bluebonnets to enjoy along the way.
Did I ever say that there is a grand piano in the lobby of the Mayes Clinic, the building where most of David's appointments are? Well there is. I think they pay someone, or maybe it's volunteers, to play. Sometime nobody is there playing. I always enjoy when there is. Usually they play popular songs most would recognize. Today as we were leaving, someone was playing old hymns. And several were gathered around singing! Never have I heard any singing! I do love me some old hymns and hearing them sung in the lobby was a great way to end our visit and a wonderful reminder of my God and his provisions. I'm ready to move on and away from MDA, but if we must continue, I am thankful God is with us!
Please continue to pray! No growth is great news! David is feeling good and can do all the things he wants and needs to do. But. I want it to go away! Cancer stinks. It is physically, emotionally, and financially draining! It steals time, security, and peace of mind. I do not like it, Sam I am.
So pray that the cancer goes away! All the while giving thanks for no growth!
I leave you with the chorus they were singing as we left MDA today,
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living, just because He lives!
He is risen indeed!
Thank you for loving us!
