Re: Dan's test (God)

[Guest guest]

Hi Dix, Just want you to know keeping you, and your family in my

prayers. Take care, and big hugs Tawny

> Well, the test wasn't quite what we had hoped for, but we are

still optimistic.

> They had told us it would be no longer than 1 hour. After 2 hours

went by, I was a little concerned. After 2½ hours, I started

worrying. About 40 minutes later, Dan came out and told me that they

found a small tumor, or polyp, and also some suspicious tissue. They

removed both, and sent them to be biopsied. We will hear the biopsy

results in about 5 days, which could mean Friday, or it could be next

Monday.

> We're encourage by the fact that if it is malignant, that it

was caught very early. And there's a chance that it isn't. Plus, if

it is, colon cancer is a very treatable type of cancer. The only bad

thing would mean that it's the 2nd time Dan's gotten cancer.

> But something very unusual happened on the way home. We

stopped at an Oriental restaurant for lunch. My fortune cookie

say " You will have pleasant news. " Dan and I just gave each other a

meaningful look. Then Dan opened his. It said " Problems dealt with

early rarely turn out to be problems at all. "

> We couldn't believe it!

> God sending messages of hope through fortune cookies is not

something we're used to - but who knows? It did help us both be more

optimistic.

> Yet I know we'll both be waiting anxiously for the results.

Again, prayers would be most welcome.

> I had called my mother, who said " Oh, it's no big deal.

You're always making more out of things than necessary. " I don't

know why I bother.

> I promised the kids I'd call them, so have to get started on

that. I wanted to let you know what happened, and thank you all for

your thoughtfulness and prayers. They are so very much appreciated.

> Love n hugs,

> Dix
