Those are Eddie's words about his situation.
Lymphoma is the diagnosis.
It is a form of cancer. However, if one is going to have cancer, this is a much less-bad form than others. All of the doctors involved are very optimistic, as are the Bakers.
So, here's the process from here onward:
--post-op MRI in the next week or two to check size & shrinkage of the tumor.
(BTW, "shrinkage" was used multiple times today by the doctor...prayer plus medicine is a good combo!)
--the results of that MRI will help determine treatment options.
How to pray?
1. Thank God for medical technology & expertise!
2. Thank God for a clear diagnosis!
3. Thank God that it's lymphoma and not something worse!
3. Pray for Eddie & Carol & the boys as the treatment begins. Hopefully this will be in the next couple of weeks.
There's still a process to go through, but it's a very optimistic process.
Eddie's spirits are great. He said that God has been around every bend in this road. Again, I quote: "I'm so thankful..." (not the typical cancer-diagnosis response; thanks for praying!)
Eddie & Carol send love & appreciation to all of you prayer warriors.
Keep holding them before the throne! Remember, the diagnosis is the beginning of the next part of the journey.
Like Eddie & Carol...and you...I am,
In His Amazing Grip,
Mike
