Dr. Walker called me last night to discuss whether lithotripsy could cause a lesion on my liver. There is no difinitive proof of that. He said there has been talk in the medical community that it might lead to diabetes and high blood pressure but once again nothing is written in stone about that. He also answered my question about whether or not I had a lesion prior to lithotripsy. I did. It was mentioned in a CT scan that I had in March 2007 when I was admitted to emergeny for treatment.
Continue your prayers for Kathy and her family, please. I talked to her yesterday prior to her appointment and she was at peace and ready to know the results of her biopsy. She said the only reason for her peace was God’s people praying for she and her family. Her desire is to glorify God in this storm they are facing. This morning I learned that there is malignancy and it is inoperable. She and her family are talking over what to do next. If she began treatment at Mayo Clinic it cannot begin for around 3 weeks.
I may have mentioned the following verse in a previous post. If I did it is worth repeating. It is so comforting and another precious promise to cling to in the uncertain days we live in.
Isaiah 43:2-3
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you, for I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, YOUR SAVIOR.
Love,
Carmel
