3 Appointments and Good News

Today was "meet the radiation oncologist", mammogram, and see the primary care physician so all hoops are jumped in order to be sure insurance is covering everything they should.   The good news at the oncologist was that the cancer looks like it's contained in the colon.   The treatment should be 5 1/2 weeks 5 days a week instead of 8 weeks 5 days a week.   Woo hoo.   The mammogram results should be next week.  Tomorrow morning I have minor day surgery to get the port placed in for the chemotherapy.

Thanks for all the prayers and for all the folks who have blessed my family with meals this week. 

Things I'm thankful so far this year:
    1)  Amazing support from friends and family.
    2)  Refrigerator given to us to replace our 'frige that was dying.
    3)  Counter tops that were built by my husband before our big shock of having cancer have been installed this week and I ruthlessly cleaned out and reorganized (even though it took me two days).
     4)  New home for the home school consignment shop so my living room is already half empty.
    5)   Our home has been full of "the peace that passeth all understanding" and my children have not become fearful or overly stressed by all the news of cancer and all the extra appointments that we have had.  Thank you Jesus!
