Scan Picture

This shows the two tumors in the bottom of the left lung (right side of picture).

Scan results

Well, I guess the best way to describe the scan results is with a picture.  I will try to get a picture or up so you have a visual on what I am describing.
The scan results were good in the sense that my old tumor sites did not appear active. It looks as if the known tumors have been treated effectively. Unfortunately, the scan also revealed two new tumors in the bottom of my left lung. This was not the news anyone was hoping for, but it is the new none the less.
To be honest, I was really just going for a break in treatment, a chance to go about a "normal" routine without treatments and tests.  Oh well, we will hope for a break when we have finished with these new tumors.  They don't stand a chance against all the faith and prayers offered in my behalf!
I was talking to Angela and she wanted to know how I really felt about finding new tumors.  I told her I was disappointed - unmet expectations - but that I had prepared myself for this possibility and that I still has hope for the future. Some trials are longer than others and apparently we have more lessons to learn. I will not let cancer control my outlook on life. I have so much to be grateful for and thankful for. I have more reasons to rejoice than to sorrow.  I feel as if we are being cradled in the arms of the Lord as we travel down this path. I cannot help but smile and be happy when I think of ask that Heavenly Father had done for me.
Thank you all so much for your faith, prayers, service, and kindness.  We are surrounded by angels!
