Something at Work

Just back from the doctor`s. Firstly, the pathologists failed to find any cancer cells in the fluid taken from Fiona`s lung (from the peural effusion).

Secondly. a saline wash was also done during the Bronchioscopy, focusing on the middle and lower lobes in the right lung, which are said to have consolidation, based on the last CT scan. The test results from the analysis of the saline wash shows cells which are "suspicious", which the doctor is interpreting to mean likely cancerous. No matter, the chemo will address that.

What is truly significant is that the doctor said that there is no way that yesterday`s chemo session could have caused Fiona`s lungs to clear up so quickly (they cleared up last night!), and that chemo works over a few weeks or months, not overnight. We can only think that this was a result of God`s hand at work and give thanks. Keep praying!
