More Test, More Doctors

This is my notebook and three ring binder. It's filled with notes, questions, phone numbers, names, reports, Cd's, and whatever else that I have to remember. Thanks Cindy for this suggestion.

Wouldn't it be cool to be able to give people with their diagnosis a, "how to kit"? How to keep track of everything.

Well, after my visit to the oncologist. I called my doctor's office and told them how crazy my visit was. The oncologist never even discussed what kind of cancer that I have. I told them that I wanted to see another oncologist

Meanwhile, calling insurance and doctors offices to see how to get a second opinion.

Later in the afternoon, I got a call from the office manager from the oncology group. Told her the truth about my visit. It was far from what I expected. She was so sorry and scheduled me with another oncologist for next Wednesday.

Got a call last night from primary doctor, she is concerned about my MRI and blood work results. So, is this the time that I freak out? The word "concerned", just has too many worries associated with it. Well, she wants to see me asap.

I had my results from the MRI, from my secret person on the inside, am I missing something?

This morning went for more blood work. Picked up my MRI report and lab results. as always it seems like I'm in a whirlwind.

Visit with the primary doctor wasn't too alarming. Blood work showed a few things that were high. New to me was that I am prediabetic.

The solution; low carb, low sugar, whole foods. For the cancer, take vitamin C, eat more broccoli, stay away from dairy. OK, can I still have my glass of wine, or two? Just kidding.

The cancer that I have is not a fast growing kind, that's encouraging.

My visit to the new oncologist will be different, thanks to Kellie, I am armed with lots of questions. I will know the treatment plan and can share with all of you after my visit.

Thank you to everyone who is praying. God is filling me daily and I appreciate that. Also, for all the kind and thoughtful text messages. You are really lifting me up and I appreciate you all very much.

This morning I slept in with my puppies. God is faithful. He gave me this scripture, as part of the scripture for the day on the Bible app.

... the Good Shepherd puts the sheep before himself, sacrifices himself if necessary....

I thought about, "he puts the sheep before himself"...

Jesus is the Good Shepherd.  He puts me before himself, that's how much he cares and is thinking about me. He's selfless, he really does care.

Today, woke up with this song was on my heart.
