I found out on Friday that there is nothing wrong with my heart. It's not even as cold as Jim always says it is (ha, ha). The Muga Scan was wrong. The Echocardiogram showed my ejected level at 65%. There was NO damage done to my heart by the chemotherapy.
My Aunt Katie went with me on Friday, so after seeing the Cardiologist we stopped in to see if my Oncologist was in the office. She was and when I told her the news she was so excited that she came out and gave me a big hug. The Cardiologist feels it's a lung issue, so my Oncologist is referring me to another Pulmonary doctor (per my request). My appointment isn't until December 9th.
I would have been jumping up and down but the blood report showed that my cancer markers have gone way up. When my Oncologist saw the report she said she is scheduling a PET Scan right away. I was bummed that I couldn't have just one day of celebration, but I'm just not going to worry about it.
Didn't we just learn that some tests can be wrong?

Hi Traci!
I have been reading and following your blog for a while now, and I have prayed faithfully for you. I remember praying for you, and Jim, and the kids while you were all in New Zealand as well.
I am SO amazed at where the Lord has brought you AND what he has been bringing you through, not just your season with cancer, but also all of the other things in your life. One thing that really strikes me is that you have been SO faithful and encouraging to SO many people who have come into your life. I am blessed just to have known you, truly! You gave me such sound, Godly wisdom when I needed it, and you were not afraid to tell me like it was. I am grateful! I am a better wife because of some advice you once gave me, and it stays with me in my heart! you have NO idea!
I am truly so sorry for this difficult time in your life, but- I know.....I KNOW--- God is working this out for the good for you. I believe this. I know it is easier for me to say this because I am not going through this tremendous pain and discomfort, but I still trust God is working this out for your good.
Weekly, while at church, We sing a worship song that now, I cannot sing it without stopping and praying for you instead. I think of you and pray for you, and simply just want the best for you, you remarkable woman! I am sure you have heard it before. I am going to copy and paste the lyrics here. I just wanted you to know that I think of you often, and I am sorry for not writing sooner. I will continue to faithfully cover you in prayer. God Bless you Traci!
Much love, and prayers,
Veronica Gibbons and Family

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait
I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience
While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait
I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord.
Dear Traci~
You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I love you! Have a beautiful Thanksgiving and please know how truly thankful I am to have you in my life.
With love,
Robin
