Well, this is the week of preparation---preparation for Bob's visit to the oncologist. Preparation to hear the news of what all these tests will mean. Will the myeloma in the lymph nodes have been blasted away? Will the cancer have traveled to different nodes? Will there be any new lesions in the bones? What will the hemoglobin numbers tell us, what about the protein that is followed? Will those numbers increase or hopefully decrease even more?
Throw in the fact that the machine that does the PET scan broke down. Now that scan will be done March 7 in the morning mere hours before Bob sees Dr. Bahlis. Will the doc get the results of this scan so he can see the whole picture or will we need to wait until another appt. hmmm, no, please Lord let us have the whole picture next week.
Therefore we wait, now that the tests are mostly completed. Preparing for how we will handle the different scenarios.
Bob is not feeling super well--drugs, dyes, uncertainty and just plain tired of our new normal.
Well, the week is almost over and beginning tomorrow is a week of being chemo free.
Prepare with us through prayer ---that we will be content in all circumstances.
