For a specific intention and good outcome in my immediate family. More info may be forthcoming, depending on how things shake out, but I’m quite shook up...
The biopsy procedure went well. No complications immediately -- my wife is doing very well. The specialist remarked that, if he were a betting man, he would put money that it was benign. But we're not out of the woods until the lab's done its work.
Samples were taken from the main mass, and from some abnormal surrounding lymph nodes.
Thank you so much for your prayers and concern. It was so touching to see people responding to this thread yesterday, knowing they had this in their minds or on their calendars.
I am afraid the pathologist should not take up gambling anytime soon. Stage 2 IDC, with nearby lymph node involvement. Continued prayers appreciated. We are at peace and resting in His Will.
A week before Christmas, God gave us the gift of a car crash. It didn't feel quite like that at the time, but I've come to see what He has done for us through the crash.
I'll offer my Office for you and your wife, Nihil, tomorrow.
Nihil, having finally had the chance to meet you face-to-face, I have to say: you are an incredible man, and I feel fortunate to have you (however remotely) in my life. Your prudence, grace, and good humor are nothing short of astounding.
