Stable has become one of my favourite words! Not the kind you keep your horses in, but the word that my doctors use to tell me that my cancer has not grown or spread!
I heard that word again today when I sat down with the doctor to discuss the results of the CT scans that I had back on August 21st. Waiting almost a month was difficult and I admit to having some episodes of scanxiety during that time. It was heaviest as I sat in the waiting room early this afternoon not knowing if the news would be bad or good. I had no reason to suspect that it would be bad; no symptoms to suggest that the tumours might be active or growing again, but the knowledge is always there that that day could come at any time.
When the doctor told us that everything continues to be stable, the load was lifted in an instant and I felt lighter than air! All the way home (a two hour drive) I felt as though, had my seatbelt not been fastened, I might have lifted right off my seat!
And so I keep on hanging on, living life to the fullest, and praising the Lord!
Praise God! I’ve been wondering how it went; didn’t realize you had to wait a whole month. Love the balloons!
It’s unusual to have to wait so long. I’m assuming that the delay was due to the fact that one of the two doctors is on vacation right now.
Good news to hear, Elaine.
Yes, always a relief!
PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!
AMEN!
Great post 😁
Thank you! 🙂
Absolutely marvellous news. There is no better word than “stable”. X
It’s definitely a favourite!
