What we know so far.....

This all began when Dave was in Russia and started having some pain in his lower back and lower abdomen. He went to the doctor when he returned home and they did a cat scan and found a tumor. We then went to Birmingham and he had it biopsied. The doctor at this point was not worried at all. He said we should know something in 2-3 days. We then found that they sent it to Johns Hopkins to be looked at further. So yesterday the doctor called and let us know it is cancer. We waited three weeks on this information...three long weeks.

This is what we have learned.......it is called Leiomyosarcoma of the seminal vesicle. It is a low grade cancer. It is a very rare cancer. Daves doctor(urologist) has never seen this before.

We were able to sit in this morning while several doctors discussed his case. This was good for us.

This is our plan right now......We are seeking the right treatment options for Dave. We want to do something now. Waiting is hard. We are looking at the options and hoping to get an appointment at the treatment center soon. I'll let you know more about that as we know.

These are things we know......We know God is sovereign. We know He is good.

I thought about this exert from The Lion ,the Witch, and the Wardrobe this morning.......

'If there's anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they're either braver than me or else just silly.'

'Then he isn't safe?' asked Lucy.

'Safe?' said Mr. Beaver. 'Don't you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.'

Psalm 119:68 You are good, and do good, teach me your statutes.
Psalm 106:1 Praise the LORD! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!
