I have an appointment with my Doctor on Friday. I always like to try to go in a few days before and do my blood work and labs so that I can maximize my time with her. The cancer center is not very far away from my home so it makes sense to drive over and take care of this. Note: that this is something that I request and schedule specially so that when I meet with Dr. Matei we have all the information.
I have not had my tumor markers tested since trying this Xeloda so I am very anxious. I thought I had them tested a couple of weeks ago on a friday. I waited all weekend for Monday to hurry up and get here and then when I called I waited all day. I finally heard from them on Tuesday and was informed that no tumor markers had been sent out on the lab draw. Apparently, they had not been ordered.
Needless to say, I am waiting on pins and needles to see where I am tomorrow. This whole process has been a lot of waiting. Waiting to feel better. Waiting for tests. Waiting to see if this or that treatment will make a big difference. Waiting for good news. Waiting with much anticipation for the next leg of my journey.
I am reminded of a promise
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
I will let you know about the tumor markers. I am still waiting for the news.

God is present on the head of a pin.
God's waiting room has lots of "patients", where we learn what "patience" really means. God is there in the midst of it all with you...have no fear!
