I was able to come home Wednesday evening. I have been able to rest better than at the hospital.
My breathing has improved since being home and I am waiting for the energy level to come back.
I am so grateful for the Doctors and nurses that took care of me.
I am very humbled by the results of my scans. At the end of May I had two tumors that had not changed from the February scans.
I was scanned before the procedure was to begin.
Dr. Carlisle looked at the scan then came in and asked me if I had been on chemo since I had seen him. I had not.
He left the room then came back. He explained that the large tumor was not there, only some thickening of the lung lining.
The smaller tumor had shrunk. He verified with me that I wanted to ablate the small tumor. Yes!
I laid there wondering what had happened. I wracked my brain to find an explanation, there is none. It is a miracle
In my years of chemo, i have had small shrinkage to tumors but not complete destruction of one.
I know it is because of faith and prayers that this has happened. It may also be the blessing of having a missionary.
I thank each of you for your faith and prayers in my behalf. I will be forever grateful.
I did get to talk to Derek on the phone this week. His branch president told him to call so he would know all is well. He is doing well. He seems patient with the fact that he has not left for Peru, but he is anxious to get there. He did say that there were missionaries that came three weeks ago and they flew out on Wednesday. I hope we will be able to look back on this and know the reasons for his delay. I know it has helped him to be able to hear in my voice that I am doing well.
I continue to pray that he will leave for Peru soon.
May we all be blessed in the things that we do.
