Gisela and I met with Dr. "Leah" Tan this afternoon at UT / SW. Dr. Tan "assisted" Dr. Kernstine when he operated last week. She shared with us the pathology report. It had mixed results / blessings?
As we heard after the procedure the cancer HAS penetrated the diaphragm----that's the BAD news!
On a brighter note the analysis of the "Organ Wash" (Periodontal, I think!) showed NO mesothelioma cells. The LORD be praised.
Dr. Tan stressed to Gisela that SHE MUST BE STRONG!. Should eat well, exercise and be mentally READY. She repeated ,what had been said before, that her number ONE "Cheering Squad" must be HER herself. She told me "Continue your support role and NAG if required!".
Gisela "witnessed"to Dr. Tan about her FAITH in the Lord Jesus. " I am healed (by his stripes)" she said. " His Holy spirit is --working-- to heal me" she added.
We are NOT sure if Dr. Tan is a Christian or not but her reply "We are only here to help mere mortals NOT God". Made us believe she is.
They "hugged".
So Friday we start "chemo". Next posting will be from Plano Oncology Infusion Centre".
P.S I made Dr. Tan laugh when I told her that the Infusion Centre was like "IHOP" with the booths serving "stuff" not pancakes or bacon and eggs!
