Dear family,
The biopsy was done late yesterday afternoon. The results are supposed to be faxed to my doctor sometime today. He then is supposed to call me. 98% of the time the results acquired and relayed come within 24 hours of the biopsy. The other 2% of the time, the tests have to be reviewed by a medical team in Harvard and the results are delayed.
It’s Friday morning and Rex has left – with my blessing – on an overnight snowmobile ride with some of the young men and leaders of our church. Although we were both nervous about my being alone when the results were phoned in from my primary physician, I feel strongly that I needed this day alone to commune with my Heavenly Father and His Son, my Savior. It’s as if it’s a journey – this part of my life - to build my faith. Part of this journey is to be taken, understandably, without another’s help for no one else can quite share like They can the thoughts and feelings you are having.
That being said, I appreciate all of your emails. All of you responded empathetically and that gave me strength! The prayers you offered were also answered for I was not afraid throughout the whole biopsy process. The nurse/ attendant and doctor/radiologist were amazed that I took everything so calmly. It helped to know that the doctor had once been where I am now.
Janet, my sister, your email struck me as very perceptive. It does make sense to think that you take four girls and something, somewhere along the way in the way of female problems is bound to happen. I am grateful that it is me to go through this kind of thing first because, honestly, I don’t know what I’d be doing or feeling if it were one of you! I don’t think I could bear it. It occurs to me how fitting it is that the firstborn go through this first. I hope and know now that if any of you go through something like this as well, I will be able to help you through it.
When the results come in, I will email all of you. I’m sure it’ll be another long email at that time and it won’t be the last!
Talk to ya later ~
Love you all ~
Your Sunny sister
