bette  You are in my thought and prayers.  Enjoy your weekend.  I will be thinking of you Wed and sending you such positive vibes!  Enjoy your cookout and weekend!!!!!!!!!

Awesome time in Lancaster County. On to Baltimore tomorrow to see DD and go to Johns Hopkins.

Bette

Bette- I'm praying fiercely for you.

Thank you, Caroline, Deb and Jane. We are in Baltimore now, and the pople at the hotel are very nice. Soon we will take a shuttle to the hospital. The waiting for the biopsy is almost over. Then we will wait for the pathology to come back, and go from there.

The peace of God is ruling in my heart as I wait.

Bette

Bette  Happy to hear you had a great time!   Thinking of you and sending you prayers!

Colleen, We are at Best Western on O'Donnell St., which has a floor dedicated to Hopkins patients, plus a nice hospitality suite with computer access and a free shuttle to the hospital.

We are leaving in half an hour for my procedure today. I am not permitted to eat or drink and was very hungry when Tom went down to the breakfast buffet without me.

I feel very peaceful, and thank God for all the people who are praying. We should know a preliminary result today and final pathology next Monday.

Bette

Hi Bette,

We will have to try that hotel next time.  Still praying and hoping everything is ok. 

Colleen

Colleen, thank you for updating everyone. I started to do it, and just got too tired.

We are back home after what seemed like a very long, rainy drive. I still have throat and cough issues, and stayed in bed with body aches most of the day. Tom was a darling and unpacked everything.

So another weekend of waiting. Whatever the result, I will feel better knowing what we are doing going forward.

Bette

   Praying for B9 results!  Waiting sucks!  Take it easy, relax, play do what ever you want!  Thinking of you.  

Marlene

Jane, Marlene, bethaib, Thanks for the prayers an good wishes. I am feeling much better today. I am even baking cookies!

Go  all from my onc here at home, but no news on the pathology yet. She just wanted to see how I was doing.

Will feel better mentally/emotionally when the waiting is over and I know what I am dealing with. Meanwhile,there will probably be no news this week, so time to relax.

Bette 

Patoo, I am having a hard time relaxing, but it's not about the cancer right now. Instead I am stressed because Tom, a state employee, did not get paid this week, and will not receive a paycheck until 2-4 weeks after the budget passes. He is calm about this, telling me that God will provide our needs one day at a time. I am not calm. Pray for me that I will learn to trust God in all things. Somehow I find it easier to trust about cancer than about paying the rent.

Bette 

Bette,

Know that all your sisters are praying with you.

Debbie

Thank you, Ann Marie.

Just came back from church. They are praying for me there, and many people asked how the biopsy went, and if I had news yet. Of course I don't.

I have plans for tomorrow. I am not sitting by the phone all day waiting for it to ring. Been there, done that. I actually have an appointment to get my hair cut! First actual haircut since chemo. I am looking forward to looking more normal. Right now my hair is straight and bushy and sticks out every which way, especially in the humidity. Will be sure to post a picture.

Bette

Bette -- I admire your faith and your strength so much.  Take care and post a pic of your new "do" when you can.  DH cut the back of my hair a little last night to shape it up, but it's not long enough for a "real" haircut yet.  Praying for you and thinking of you today and every day.
