Testing Done

I have spend three days at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and have been cleared for surgery.  On October 1 the surgery will be done to remove the tumor from my tongue.  If it is shallow then they will remove it, sew me up, and send me home.  If it is deeper then they will also remove my lymph nodes from my neck and then schedule me for radiation.  Radiation in the mouth is truly a life changing event and I earnestly pray that I will not have to have that.

What a treat!!

This is a picture of the cake Sweetie ordered for my birthday.  Since I quilt the cake maker (a friend from church) used fondant to create a "quilt" draped over the cake.  I don't know if you can tell but there are designs on  many of the pieces much like a quilting design would be.  It is really unique!

A New Journey

I haven't been very active on my blog for a while.  This past year I have encountered some health problems and have been dealing with them -- one at a time.  Sept 6 I learned that I have a malignancy on my tongue, diagnosed by surgery that occurred on Aug 23.  Sept 18 I begin my journey of treatment/healing at M D Anderson Cancer Treatment Hospital.  I don't know exactly what will happen but I may not get back on my blog for a while.  Then again, I may be more active because I'm restricted in my movements.  Only time will tell.

If you pray, I ask that you keep me in your prayers.

Take care and leave a message if you wish.  I enjoy reading what people write.
