At last some good news

Today I had my first visit with my oncologist, Dr Saven since my first chemotherapy 10 days ago. He is pleased with my progress. My blood work is good, which means the chemo hasn't hurt my blood cells. AND the tumor is gone! This is just astonishing to me.! 3 weeks ago I had a tumor the size of a grapefruit in my abdomen. The doctor promised me that the first blast of chemo would blow it away. And it did. Of course it sure didn't hurt that my 35 member family and an uncountable number of friends was praying for me.  There is no need to sort out why the tumor is gone, who did it what did it. The answer is the same. We are all in this big beautiful circle of life. It came from love. My doctor loved me enough to learn everything he could, do research and find the best way to treat this cancer.  My family loves me enough to hold me up to God in prayer day and night. God, has more for me to do. There will be many lessons to be learned from this amazing experience. But for now I can bask in the sense of relief I feel, and the sure knowledge that I will be there when little Baby Binn makes his grand entrance in January. This is the greatest source of joy for me. I will be there when my grandson is born. That is the first promise Dr Saven made to me the day he told me I had lymphoma. Im holding him to it.
