I wanted to post what we know so far. The results of my wife Anna's tests were much better than they could have been. It happens that she has a hypermetabolic mass in her left thyroid gland- which may or may not malignant. This was found by the PET scan. This scan is done by injecting radioactive glucose into the bloodstream. Cells upload the glucose for energy, but abnormal or cancerous cells upload glucose very fast as they are highly "metabolic", hence, they burn through the radioactive glucose very fast and store up the radioactivity in that area. A scan locates the concentrated are.

She is scheduled today at 2:30 Central time to see a specialist. They will likely do some sort of biopsy. We praise God that there were no indications that any cancer cells had spread to lymph nodes.

All past and future prayers are greatly appreciated!!

God Bless,

-Robert

Thank you all so much for your prayers.

William,

There are times in our lives when we know that God has made Himself known and we don't know whether to marvel or weep or both. When all scientific and mathmatical probabilities have been exausted and there is but one explaination- the Lord hath made Himself known. - So with a tear in my eye I must weep and marvel- for "You Are My Hiding Place" has been the song of my heart through the days of these trying times. I have sung that song (psalm) and found comfort in the midst of the storm; and

Yet you, on the other side of the world, of another country and language has been inspired to relay this song to me. Through an obedient and sensitive servant It is God saying to me, "I know where you are and I AM your hiding place- you can trust in Me..."

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?... and again... O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! (Romans 13)... and again... Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. (Psalm 119)

Well beloved we just received the Dr's report. Praise the Lord! It happens that there were two specialists there to examine my wife (one was a very experienced older Dr.). After looking at all the results of the CT, PET scan, blood work and further examination- they both have ruled out cancer all together! The diagnosis is an overactive thyroid gland and it can be treated with medication. The lymph node swelling was unrelated and believed to be caused by psorisis in the area of the nodes. Nothing at all to be overly concerned with.

Praise the Lord!!!

Thanks so much to all for your prayers. God is so good!


God Bless,

-Robert
