CANCER!

Well, it's been a few days since I have blogged, and you may know why, but just in case you don't let me try and fill in some of the details.
Before we went on our trip to Colorado, Becky had a biopsy done on her foot and thigh for this skin thing she has going on. the place on her foot had been there for years, has been seen by many doctors over the years and dismissed as this or that and none of them gave it much thought. The place on her foot looked like it was trying to get infected so she went to see our doctor before we left and he did a culture on it. while we were in Greeley it began hurting her more and more, and looking worse and worse so she called our doctor and he put her on some antibiotics, which helped.
On Wednesday after we got back from our trip, Becky went into our family doctor to get another round of antibiotics. He asked if she had heard from the doctor who did the biopsy, she said no and so he called.
Well the word came back as malignant Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma. This came as quite a shock to both of us (and many others). So on the following Tuesday we went to see the Dr. at Texas Oncology, basically he said that this is mainly a skin type cancer and most of the time did not go inside of the body, 2 days later Becky had a pet scan done. We are still waiting on those results.
So if you are wondering why no blog, wonder no longer.

We just ask that you keep Becky in your prayers, cancer is a word that can bring fear with it, we have been calm and at peace. I think our son Jody said it best, he said that cancer is just a name that has been put on this and that Jesus is the name above all names.
Amen Jody.
