Equivocal

Tomorrow is a big day, I fly to Sydney (and home again) to meet with the Radiation oncologist.
I have faith; confidence she and the Sarcoma team will give me an unequivocal plan to have radiation or not.

My Brain MRI was normal - unremarkable ; less so than an MRI I had over 3 yrs ago . I got a 2 line mention - no evidence of metastasis, last time I had an MRI - they wrote 2-3 paragraphs (still normal but a few odd things) . Praise God !


{A good reason to celebrate , another small step , with a good friend who came to visit this weekend. She is going through a rough time too with a very unwell mother.}

The lump in near my throat trachea , jugular vein and inferior to left thyroid is still there and needs further investigations - the MRI report was equivocal - so open to more than one interpretation; ambiguous.

This song is beautiful. Soul for Sunday.



Artist: Laura Story

Album: Blessings

We pray for blessings, we pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while You hear each spoken need
Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near?
What if trials of this life
Are Your mercies in disguise?

We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
And all the while You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near?
And what if trials of this life
Are Your mercies in disguise?

When friends betray us, when darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It's not our home

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near?

What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst
This world can't satisfy?

And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise?

This is the back story to Blessings.

Another dear friend sent a few lines from this song , she heard it in the wee small hours. My BFF & Google helped find the whole song.

Enjoy.
How have you been blessed recently ?

Beautiful friends URL and real life - thank you Claire. I am hoping for the right answers.
Great news on the MRI, Trish. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and sending good vibes when you're Sydney side. Hope the thyroid mystery is soon solved and brings some good news. As for blessings, every day when I wake up, I feel blessed because I get to enjoy another day. It may sound corny but it's so true. Having Cancer taught me to take nothing for granted. Bon voyage! xx

All the best for your trip, you will be in my thoughts. Glad you having a champers, my favourite type right there! I've been blessed with a patient husband and generous parents. You have my blessings for tomorrow x
