After the consultation yesterday, I am still in a holding pattern. While the PET scan did not show that the enlarged lymph node was cancerous a definite diagnosis will not be made just yet. Also my liver function studies are all abnormal. I am to return in 1 month for follow up visit and repeat lab then in 2 months they will repeat the CT abdomen to see if the lymph node has enlarged. If it has enlarged at all then they want to do the surgery to remove it and test it for definitive diagnosis.

While the results are promising I am still really nervous about the possibility of such a major surgery.

Please continue to remember me in prayer that God will "shrink" or remove this thing and all will be well.

God is able and I am believing Him to do a complete work.

Thanks for your prayers.
