Jeroling, I see you're an RN and wasn't sure if you work at the facility so get results faster than most of us. I am a believer and prayed as soon as I saw this today (3 days after you posted your request).
Hope to hear an update soon.
I'm an 'honest news' type girl so, yeah, it does sound like you might be looking at some mets now or down the line but gosh things have changed in just a few years! My onc told me when I had my liver met 2 years ago that just 5 or so years earlier and he would have offered me chemo only even tho it was smaller than a dime. Instead I had it removed with NO follow up chemo. Yep, I'm now a Stage IVa but I was NED for just under 3 years and NED again for 21 months. 5 years in this and I've only been 'sick or uncomfortable' a short amount of time in those 5 years!
Psalm 103 says (in everyday language)
1 O my soul, bless God. From head to toe, I'll bless his holy name! 2 O my soul, bless God, don't forget a single blessing! 3 He forgives your sins - every one. He heals your diseases - every one. 4 He redeems you from hell - saves your life! He crowns you with love and mercy - a paradise crown. 5 He wraps you in goodness - beauty eternal. He renews your youth - you're always young in his presence. 6 God makes everything come out right; he puts victims back on their feet. 7 He showed Moses how he went about his work, opened up his plans to all Israel. 8 God is sheer mercy and grace; not easily angered, he's rich in love. 9 He doesn't endlessly nag and scold, nor hold grudges forever. 10 He doesn't treat us as our sins deserve, nor pay us back in full for our wrongs. 11 As high as heaven is over the earth, so strong is his love to those who fear him. 12 And as far as sunrise is from sunset, he has separated us from our sins. 13 As parents feel for their children, God feels for those who fear him. 14 He knows us inside and out, keeps in mind that we're made of mud. 15 Men and women don't live very long; like wildflowers they spring up and blossom, 16 But a storm snuffs them out just as quickly, leaving nothing to show they were here. 17 God's love, though, is ever and always, eternally present to all who fear him, Making everything right for them and their children 18 as they follow his Covenant ways and remember to do whatever he said. 19 God has set his throne in heaven; he rules over us all. He's the King! 20 So bless God, you angels, ready and able to fly at his bidding, quick to hear and do what he says. 21 Bless God, all you armies of angels, alert to respond to whatever he wills. 22 Bless God, all creatures, wherever you are - everything and everyone made by God. And you, O my soul, bless God!
