Grammi2four, so nice to meet you. It's kind of you to take the time to assure me of your prayers. In July of 2007, a cancerous tumor was found in the left side of hubby's neck. It was removed in September 2007. It was not the primary site. That was at the base of the tongue. He had 42 radiation treatments ending on June 6, 2008. The cancer is in his lymph system. He has regular tests and scans, and the PET scan done in Sept. showed something in the upper left arm. An MRI was done and it shows cancer. They need to do a biopsy to find out if it's part of the squamous cell carcinoma, or a new primary site in the bone. I'm glad to get a date certain for the biopsy, so I can schedule all the other things that have to be done. Bless you for your expressions of concern.

devia, I couldn't possibly stop being silly if I tried, and I don't want to try. We all need humor in our lives. I hope you are having a good night's sleep. See you tomorrow.

Snappygrandma, thank you so much for taking your precious time (that you should probably be resting) and filling me in on what has happened to your DH... He has been through a lot (to say the least) and so have you.

I have lite a candle for him here at home and one on the Candle Online site. If anyone would like to join me there, I named the group Snapp. I tried to put Snappygrandpa but it only takes 4 letters but you'll know it for us.

I will continue to pray that the Lord brings him healing and peace.

Big Hugs

Hi, Grammi2four, and shortdiva, and all my other friends.
thank you for caring and for expressing your concern for us. Grammi, a special "thanks" to you for the extraordinarily kind thing in opening up an online candle lighting site for my hubby. I didn't know such a thing existed, but do see its significance. How thoughtful of you. Thank you very much.

We had a change in plans today. Just as I was washing the car windows preparing to take hubby to the dentist, several fires broke out surrounding our area. The fires are suspicious, and were near the freeways we would need to use. One of our grandsons was nearby on his way to work. He wasn't able to get there, so he came to see if we were okay and to show us pictures he had taken on the way. I had to cancel the dental appointment. Their computers were down, so couldn't reschedule yet.
It was something to watch the helicopters and the huge water scooping planes fly overhead and drop the water.
We are thankful for protection and for caring family members. Grandkids are fabulous!!!

Raeli, you are gifted with a silver tongue! :) (That's a good thing, BTW)

Thank you, luvpurses. You are an inspiration and an encouragement.

SouthernRed, a miracle healing would be wonderful! We pray for that as well. Thank you for remembering us.
We are enjoying a day without a doctor visit for hubby. Yipee! I have to go later and have blood drawn. One of my tests came back saying the potassium is high. The doc thinks it was a lab error, but they want to redo it. His office is close to us, so it's fine.
Tomorrow we have the dental oncologist.
Bless you all, and may you each have a glorious day!

GardenMama, thanks so much for lighting a candle for my hubby. That's a new thing for me, but I know it expresses loving concern, and is therefore greatly appreciated. How interesting that the 9th is your Chi's birthday. I just told hubby, and he grinned at me. Thank you for your assurances of prayer.
I went to the docs office and they drew some more blood to recheck the potassium level. I will look up the word you mentioned. Thank you for the information. Hope you have a lovely evening.

Wishing your hubby all the best, snappygrandma.
