I am not afraid. The unknown is scary and baffling and harsh, but I am not afraid. I feel the breeze on my face and hold the rain in my hand. I see the leaves changing and smell my son's hair when he comes inside after sweating in the yard with his daddy and I am not afraid. I am wrapped in arms that made the universe and are still small enough for me to hold. I can close my eyes when the tears come and see the face of my husband standing with me through tough times and reminding that we are going to be okay. Now I can return that for him. I don't worry about what is to come. I welcome it. I want to see where this rabbit hole is going to go.

Brian

Brian got the results back from his biopsy yesterday and it was not the news we wanted to hear. He has papillary carcinoma, a form of thyroid cancer. The doctor suggested removing the thyroid to insure that there is no recurrence. He will do that on October 23rd. They will check to see if it has spread to any other organs. There is a risk in the surgery of paralysis to the vocal chords but the doctor said that is slim. The doctor is very optimistic that he will be able to remove all the cancer without any chemo or radiation.



Brian is very scared right now. My biggest concern is for his mental state. He doesn't want to talk to anyone. He is devastated, understandably. Please be in prayer for him and keep calling. Eventually, I know he will answer. I will keep you updated on his progress. Please pass this on to anyone who knows us, or anyone who will pray. Thank you!!
