The day after...

Well, we had our meeting with the doctor yesterday. It turns out that the biopsy she had last month showed some strange readings so they sent it off to a few other folks who came back with a definate diagnosis....Mary Ann's cancer is back.

We spend yesterday afternoon crying and talking. We have a few options for treatment that we have to give our choice on today.

At first I was extremely angry at God. Why did he do this? Why did he do this a second time? Had she not suffered enough. I immediately had flashbacks to the endless hours and days that we spent together in the hospital. Those were the days when she was too sick to speak so we had worked out a system of grunts and hand gestures to communicate. She shouldn't have to go through all of that again. It isn't fair!

As the news set in, I began to reach the point where I could comfort myself with the fact that the tumor was MUCH smaller then her last one and that the treatment wouldn't be so bad. I could also believe that there was a reason for this. God's plan isn't always the obvious way to go (let's just say it....it sucks sometimes to be a part of it).

Please continue to pray for Mary Ann as we get through this.
