Hello My Love
Karen, I wanted to let you know the is the first post I have read this morning and I needed you to know I am right here, Love. If you need me tonight you must call me anytime, I sleep with the phones by my side and I think I told you that last we spoke. The tumor markers have gone down quite a bit and gladly so, and we know to take them with a grain of salt even though they do sometimes alert us to changes in the body. I do agree that sometimes the second test does have some changes at times because of the circumstances regarding who performed test, who read test, condition of slice.....
I am not here to give you false hope or to tell you the things I wish I could tell you. This morning brings a very dear friend even closer to heart, even louder in prayer. Today when you can sit and relax for a moment place a call in to your doctor, he needs to clarify a bit better what is going on in your body. If you have to write down the immediate questions you need answered (I love Post-Its!)..LOL. You are going to need some kind of closure before you can digest what is happening here.
Again Sweetheart, I shall be near the phones tonight as I always am. If you need or want to talk I will be waiting. If you need quiet or to relax with the family then my family will have you close to heart thinking serene thoughts & praying. Until you get any news today about your tests, try to focus on the 'what is' and not the 'what if's'. Remember our phone call and the wonderful things we talked about. We are so happy to have you in our lives, I love you so much My Warrior and Every Day You Fight This Fight, You Are A Survivor in my book!!!!
I love you dearly and waiting will be tough today but put the call in, write down your concerns, beckon your friends and family and keep the faith.
I still BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs and prayers coming your way, hope you can still catch!!.....
Waiting For A Miracle>>>Believe51....(Marie G)
