I've had a rough morning with upset stomach. Trying to eat a little something now. I am so tired, but truly think it is a depression and am grateful that they have increaded my meds to help with that. Too bad it takes up to two weeks to kick in.

Dr. Honeycutt called yesterday afternoon to discuss the next steps. We decided I would go to Boone Hospital on Thursday and have a biopsy of nodes in my back(right side) through a CT biopsy. Not sure what this will mean but less invasive than surgtery. It is outpatient so should be home in the afternoon. We changed my appointment for consultation until Monday afternoon when the results should be in. I am having pain on upper thigh of left leg so scheduled for an MRI next Thursday. PRAYING it heals itself and I can cancel that due to my claustrophobia.

It is impossible to explain to you how I am doing. One minute, I am nearly hysterical, the next very angry, the next grateful that we did the treatments we have already done. I am afraid. I am so blessed to have so many people who love me. The Meyer family and Tony surprised me on Sunday evening for an early birthday celebration. Barb was here yesterday when I received the call and stayed so I could rest. MaryAnne came in afternoon and just held me and prayed. Debbie and Barb were here on Sunday and we celebrated the Lord's Supper together. God has been so good to me and I pray each of you can feel His continual presence in His life.
