Great News!

Hello All,

the surgeon just called my mobile. Seems that pathology was wrong on the sebaceous gland carcinoma. Pathology came back after having the tumor removed. It was a sweat gland but NOT sebaceous gland carcinoma. I asked him what this meant and he said, hehe...get this, "I have no idea". So I said....."ok, I will find out" and then I asked, "does this spread like a sebaceous gland carcinoma" and he said "no, the pathologist said it is not known to spread so it is a better outcome for you than the sebaceous gland carcinoma".

So there we go. This is good. I will need to go to my follow up appointment with the surgeon and also get more information about this sweat gland cancer as to whether there is any follow up at all. However, I am guessing, without consulting a doctor, that because sebaceous gland carcinoma is related to Muir-Torre Syndrome that because it is not a sebaceous gland carcinoma that I don't have Muir-Torre Syndrome and only have FA! However, I will check about all that DNA testing that was going on and will speak to my head and neck cancer specialist about the outcome of this new pathology. It is good news though. Also, they got it all. Clear margins......

Ah yes, good news. Praise the Lord. We have been praying so hard about all this.

I will get back to you when I know a bit more about this new news......yay!!!!!!

Love Charisse

Psalms 37:39-40 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

What a beautiful word picture: The Lord holding you by your right hand! Praying for comfort and peace whatever the future holds.
Psalms 73:23-26 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

This verse has gotten me through some very rough times. Praying that it touches your heart as well.

Hymns have been going through my head all day for some reason. This one is long so I'm only doing the first half but oh it's special. Continuing to pray so very hard!

1. Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me!

2. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see.
O Thou, who changest not, abide with me!

3. Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word,
But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

4. Come not in terror, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea.
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.

This is the second half of the hymn "Abide with Me." The words are so comforting. Know that I'm still here praying!

5. Thou on my head in every youth didst smile,
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee.
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.

6. I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the Tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me!

7. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still if Thou abide with me.

8. Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes,
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Actually found a passage I haven't shared yet! Lifting up prayers right now!
Psalms 17:7-8 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them. Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings.

Praying
Hebrews 12:1-2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
