we've entered the “so-difficult-it-is-borderline-hilarious” time...

So... when I last left you, we were anticipating the biopsy results. Well, unfortunately, it wasn't good news. The lymph node next to mom's thyroid was positive for cancer. The Oncologist wants to wait a month and run the scans again to give her a little more time to get the radiation out of her system before beginning chemo (as this could be toxic to her system).

A new thing is that her red blood count is exceptionally low and we don't know why. Hopefully today's trip back to the oncologist will provide some answers.

We go to the radiologist tomorrow to get the results of the brain MRI which will PRAYERFULLY state that the tumor is GONE!

As far as my situation, I woke up this morning with minimal hearing in my left ear. Scared me to death! I headed straight to the ENT and he informed me that it is not permanent and that it is caused by low pressure inside my Eustachian tube in the inner ear. Not great timing seeing as I am singing for all 938756 services we have this weekend for Easter! Please pray that this works itself out IMMEDIATELY (because there is NOTHING that can be done for it.) The headaches are still pounding and I have an appt with the most amazing neurosurgeon on the planet (John Dusseau) on April 7th to see if I'm a surgical candidate... we shall see...

Thanks for continuing on this journey with me...
