Not What We Were Hoping For . . .

After three and a half hours of testing and looking at images we finally got some answers. First, the lump is not fluid-filled, but solid. (Solid could be a malignant or benign tumor, so it still doesn't tell us a lot.) The second thing we found out was that the radiologists found another area of concern that they wouldn't have even found if I had never gone in. So I have a biopsy scheduled in a couple of weeks for the lump and then they want to moniter the other area. I guess it's in a really difficult place to biopsy or they would just do that too at the same time.

The good news is all of yesterday's stuff was covered by a grant because we don't have insurance. The bad news is the biopsy won't be covered and they estimated it would be two or three thousand dollars. Yikes.

I am so grateful that God is in control. It seems that a lot of things are difficult right now but I know He is our refuge and strength. I read something great yesterday at breakfast that was just a good reminder. It was something about how when we have all sunshine we're living in a desert. So true. Sometimes there's gotta be a little rain.
