Roger had his needle biopsy last Tuesday morning. The procedure went good and the biopsy guy even showed roger the sample he pulled. They told us 3-5 days they should know a little more. The pulmonary doctor called on Thursday and said that the results were inconclusive again. Inconclusive.... we are really starting to get super tired of that word. However, the big praise that was really behind this "inconclusive finding" is the sample they pulled is not showing to be malignant. So we chose that day to be grateful with "inconclusive."
We met with the doctor on Friday to see what the next step is. He is still concerned although the fact that the sample was not malignant is good. Roger goes in tomorrow morning for another catscan. The purpose of this one is to see if there are any changes in the spot and inflammation that is causing all this drrrrrraaaammmmmaaaa. After the doctor looks at it he will decide if Roger needs to have open lung surgery to find out what's going on.
I ask for prayer for wisdom. The never ending inconclusive findings are getting old. I'm sure Roger is getting tired of getting poked, prodded, scanned and the never ending waiting game between each medical procedure and test results. Pray that we have a peace of what we should do next. Pray that the doctor is making the right decisions as well.
A huge burden did lift off my shoulders when the chance of cancer seems to have gotten smaller. I am thankful for the family and new friends that have watched our kids so I can go to procedures and appts. I am thankful for our new church and bible study girls that have wrapped our family up in prayers and encouragement. I am thankful for my friend that paid a babysitter to come bring me coffee and sit with me during his appt. I am thankful for our pastor who spent a good 2 hours of his morning at the hospital with us before the procedure. So many little "big" things that people have done that have confirmed the God is all over this. He goes before us... he stands behind.
