On Tuesday Nathan and I are finally meeting with our neurosurgeon, Dr. Duke Samson. I admit, I haven’t done a good job researching my condition or learning more about all the treatment options available. I’ve done some research when I was first diagnosed, but I have so enjoyed this lull and not having to think about my illness, that I am finding it very tough to get back into it.
I think a big part of it is fear. Every time I think about researching it, I get a big ol’ knot in my stomach. There is one thing I know for sure—I do not want radiation treatment. The other alternatives are surgical procedures, which, strangely enough, I seem to be ok with.
My parents will be in town in three weeks. It’s a great relief to know they will be here so soon. We have some big plans for major repairs and upkeep in the house since my father is a wonderfully gifted handyman and my mom is an excellent seamstress. I have been missing them quite a bit as of late.
Nathan and I will appreciate your prayers for wisdom and discernment as we meet with our doctor and begin making some very important treatment decisions. I will give a full report on our appointment as soon as possible. Thanks for praying!
