Thank you Donna, you always post me good things.

The vet called yesterday and they told me they kept looking for cancer in LT's removed anal sac the last 12 days.

They did finally identify cancer present.
The mass was so small it took a long time to find it.
The 2mm mass is about as small as mass can be and still find it. 2mm is like an eight of an inch in size, about the size of a pin head.
It is doubtful it has spread and it is possible he is already cured from the removal but we have to have a scan done on stomach nodes in 4 months. Even then we may not see it if it has spread. At eight months, a scan should be definitive.

Here comes another test for me.
It is not getting me down, I really think he will be fine.
My own killer cancer disease has not shaken my faith so this won't either.

Some really good things are afoot with me in relation to me beginning to know God.
I even cut my hair to fit in with the teachings.
I think this is the first time I never got ticked off about having to cut my hair, I was an old hippie type at one time way way back.
There were a couple of people at the church that seemed to be amazed I could just go cut my hair short. To me, it was just a sign of commitment.
Apparently many potential members seem to kick up a storm when they find out the Pentecosts have dress codes for men and women.
For me, this was an easy call to cut my hair.

When I read the dress codes the other day, it took me less than 2 seconds to think that if I could not do this tiny little thing, then I would never be able to go any further with my education and belief here.
I didn't realize that apparently many men just can't do it and want to make an exception for themselves.

I figured if I made an exception for myself, then a slow roll of exception would lie ahead for me regarding The Word. That doesn't work and I would never get to where I willingly wish to be.
My short hair is evident in the photo on the previous page.

Ha!
I haven't gone this far in my life to be worried about how I look with short hair.
Pride you know, and I could do with less pride.

As many know here from reading this thread, I have seen glimpses of dead people here and there most of my life.
I have always been a bit tapped into the supernatural, though fleeting.
As I age, this gift has gradually been subsiding. I posted about this gift months ago in this thread.

However, the night before last, I had another fleeting experience that was a bit overwhelming in a good way. But it did last a couple of seconds which for me and what I have seen in the past was a long time.
This one was related to God. If I posted about it, someone would probably call the men in the white coats to come and take me away.

I have a CT scan tomorrow 11:30 local time.
Then on Tuesday afternoon I get the results.

I am expecting a big test of my faith coming, meaning discouraging news.
We will see.

Proverbs 17-22
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Good luck with the test LBJ, my prayers are with you.

Prayers Sent Tom

I'm fixin to put the phone down and call it a night. You will be in my prayers, hoping you get good news on Tuesday. Best wishes heading your way.

Thanks, my mortal self is stressing right now.

Everything turned around for my spirit (soul) when I asked Jesus to let me be His willing servant to complete His plan for me.
If such is granted, I cannot think of a better gift I could receive.

If anyone remembers, at the beginning of this thread a year and half ago, when I got the bad medical news, I was worried that during those first panicky feelings I had, I was worried any decisions I made might interfere with God's plan for me. I did not wish to get in the way if I was making a wrong decision here and there.
Until one faces such, I'm not sure how to explain it if you haven't experienced it.
I really struggled with that.

I don't have that problem anymore, fortunately.

In real time, this thread has taken many twists and turns. Ya'll get to witness the sausage being made oft times. Not always pretty but the end results are good.

Prayers said just now for you for tomorrow's test.

prayers for you lbj.
thank you for sharing your strength and faith.

Thank you all, prayers do work.

The CT scan is in about 2.5 hours.
Come what may, my faith will stand strong regardless the results tomorrow.

Good luck! Hoping for the best.

Positive thoughts.

I get the scan results today around 3PM.

Praying for you and asking for good news.

Positive thoughts from me too.

My wife and I continue to offer up prayers for you and your family and the medical staff. Your strength in God has been a blessing to see.

Prayers for good results
Prayers of wisdom for the doctors
Prayers for comfort to your family
