After saying many, many prayers, we awaited the results of the lung fluid.
They were NEGATIVE, however in the same sentence that the doctor said these great results, he said that he continues to be very afraid that more cancer cells are causing the fluid in the lungs. He said that just because the fluid results are negative doesn't mean anything. It could be in the lung area. He said that the x-rays showed nodules but that is not uncommon for anyone who has fluid on their lungs. I will have another CT scan in 6-8 weeks to see if anything develops. My white platelet count is dropping rapidly as a result of the 1st chemo. Luckily next week, if I can get chemo then, will be the last of this cycle and then I'll have a week rest.
Now here's our take on this news. The doctor is not God. Only God has control of this situation. At this time, we are resting in the great news that the fluid was negative. Period. End of story.
The doctor was quite concerned about my foot, which continues to be extremely swollen and excessively red. He sent me over for another sonogram, which unfortunately was over 2 1/2 hours after my chemo. I'm going to finish the story about this at another time for several reasons. I'm not feeling well from being out all day. Although we've been home for only 10 minutes, I've already gotten sick. I'm beyond exhausted. My back is in extreme pain from where the chest tube is placed. I am miserable and desperately need sleep.
Story to be continued....I wanted to make sure I got the good news out about the negative results.

Dear Sharon,
Once again God has graced you....the fluid being negative is uplifting news for sure! So time for another prayer of thanks to the ultimate healer....and then another one to ask for continued healing, strength, patience, wisdom, peace, understanding, comforting sleep, less pain, and a clean bill of health. Let God work through you. You are NEVER alone....He is always with you and your prayer warriers have your back...you are never far from our thoughts each and every day.
special love and tons of hugs,

Sharon -
So very, very glad to hear that the lung fluid is negative, and that your heart is just fine. How could a heart like yours, that is so full of love, possibly have anything wrong with it anyway??
Now, while YOUR heart is fine (thank God), I think I speak for all of your blog followers when I say that OUR hearts are beating overtime as we anxiously await word on how you are doing. I know you updated Friday, but that was four days ago, and when you are thought about as much as you are, four days is a long time. Around the halls of Catoctin, as well as outside Catoctin's walls, I keep hearing these same words "have you heard anything, have you heard anything?"
We all know you've been through a rough couple of weeks (and months, for that matter), but just know that you are thought about daily, and that we anxiously await hearing from you, when you feel up to it. In the meantime, you and your family will continue to be thought about and lifted in prayer.
Love,
Kelli
