Hi All,
the biopsy results were good. I had the biopsy taken from the gynae area and it came back as no dysplasia and no malignancies. So for those who are not sure that means No Pre-cancer and NO cancer. Yay! What a relief. It did show fungal and chronic inflammation. My gynae thinks it is chronic thrush. Fungas lives in the gut and someone who is not immunosuppressed can fight it off and it won't be active but someone who is immunosuppressed has difficulty. I have probably had this a long time as I have had flare ups in the past. Since I have low neuts my body will have trouble fighting it out of my gut. To eradicate it I would need to have oral antifungals for a course of 6 months but the drug is only broken down by the liver and I have compromised liver enzymes. For someone without a compromised liver, they test the liver every month while on this course but they often have to stop the treatment due to the liver becoming toxic. It would not be a good idea to risk my liver with this medication which means we treat the flare ups with cream and oral drops to keep it at bay. My understanding is that unless I am going to have a transplant, I can live with the fungal, unless it becomes a serious infection. For other reasons, it is also not ideal for me to have this risky drug. I am happy to continue on this other treatment for now because it does help me.
Still no extra news on the head cancer thingy. We are waiting for the second opinion of the slide in Brisbane. Did I mention that it looks like it will be good information now? I can't remember if I said that. I saw my head and neck cancer specialist and the appointment was encouraging. My stitches are now out and the wound has healed well.
I feel very tired and off today. I think I may have a sinus infection. I don't ever get these infections so I am not sure what it is supposed to feel like. Ah yes, Alan is talking to my doctor on the phone. Looks like they may start me on antibiotics.
Work has been great. I have been working almost every Wednesday.
This Friday is my IVIG infusion.
No other exciting stuff to report!
Love ya all,
Charisse

What a blessing to know we can pour out our heart to the Lord!
Psalms 62:5-8 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

No matter what life brings, no matter how dark it gets, we always have hope in the Lord! Praying!
Lamentations 3:21-26 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

The Lord will be with you always! I'll be here praying!
Colossians 3:15-16 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

I read this psalm for devotions this morning. It's always been one of my favorites. Praying right now!
Psalms 121:1-8 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

You never know where you're going to find words of comfort in Scripture.
Know that I'm here praying!
Nahum 1:7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

Know that I'm still here praying.
Psalms 116:1-5 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

We read this psalm this morning in church. Wanted to share a portion of it...praying!
Psalms 34:6-10 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Hi, Charisse. I saw your comment on my blog and tried to email you, but it wouldn't go through. I'm new to this fascinating blog world, and and still learning my way about.
No, she did not know I was filming her, he,he. I was torn between feeling sorry for her and feeling exasperated with her. She was crying like the end of the world, but it was only washing dishes! Kids are funny.
I read your blog, and am very happy for you that it was good news. God bless and take care.
