The mass is benign, it is external and not even invasive. More tests are going to be done to give us some understanding about some symptoms, but today...today is new and relief does not even describe *huge pause*

I'm so freakin tired right now...I have cried, hyper ventilated, screamed, thrown up, boo hoo cried, laughed, cried, been scared, angry, confused, elated and now I have come crashing back down to earth! (and did I mention that I have not slept for 48 hours?)

What would I have done without you, yes you! So many of you said prayers, sent positive healing love and said hope giving comments that our Doctor said he would not rule out a miracle in this situation! Yes, he said that, and when he did, as we sat there is his office, I thought of you...and you and you and you. When I was at my lowest point, oh...somewhere around 3 a.m. in the morning, I was re-reading your comments and emails, asking God for strength and pushing away all of the dark fear that was working overtime trying to discourage me, and it didn't work. Never underestimate the power of your words, thoughtful support and the time that you take to give into another human being. I feel so full :)

I humbly thank each one of you. I am grateful...so so grateful and when I finally get some sleep, I will be doing a lot of intense thinking, returning emails and (writing) about just how much all of this has touched and changed a very tender part of my life.

Thank you, not just words...true gratitude!!!
