Is the Cancer back????

Started working at my new job in January 2012.  About a week or so later I went to Mercy to get my scan results.  That was the longest week.  I was so scared...all I could think was what if the cancer is back.  I of course went back to my Aunt Sharon.  It came back with her and she passed.  I didn't want to go through all that again.  No matter what I did, I couldn't turn my mind off.  All I could do was think; what if it did come back, what if I had to have surgery again, what if I had to go through treatment again...what if, what if.  Playing the what if game does get annoying...

Time for the appointment.  Paul and I decided afterwards we would go eat at our favorite Mexican resturant in Edmond and we were going to hook up with my best friend Pam.  Getting with Pam is always fun.  My name gets called...Paul and I head back and wait for the doctor to come in.  Ugh, time was moving so slow.

The doctor finally came in.

Paul and I were sitting there listening to the doctor as he started to go over the results.  The doctor said my scan is clean...there is no sign of cancer.  Praise the Lord!!!! No cancer!!!  The he said that there must have been a mix up in the lab.  My tumor marker back in December was at 4.7, meaning that the cancer was coming back.  In January when they did it again it was a .7...the doctor said that just doesn't happen.  In my opinion...yes it does.  It's the power of prayer.  It was a miracle.  I know that God healed me.

The doctor wanted to go a head and do a CT Scan and an Ultra Sound just to make sure everything really is gone. 

The CT Scan was interesting.  I'm allergic to the iodine contrast they use and of course I ended up with side effects.  But, it came back clean and that is all that matters.  I'm suppose to do the Ultra Sound in November.
