Just another WordPress.com weblog

I raise my hands to the sky in thanks….

As most of you know who know me and have been reading this blog….you know about 6 weeks ago I got sent to Rex Cancer Center due to some blood work that came in with high platelets which they thought could be Essential Thrombocytosis, an incurable blood disease and or Leukemia. I have gotten numerous test done on me including the most painful thing I have ever experienced ….a bone marrow biopsy…..which I have been waiting for the results on for a week and a half…My platelets were very high..(which over works your bone marrow) The Dr was concerned and thought I had ET or worse…..but all the tests have come back negative….which is why they had to do the bone marrow biopsy…….Well today the results from the  bone marrow biopsy came back ….and although she (The Dr) saw some early signs of bone marrow break down there was no sign of ET,  In some of the early tests there was no sign of low iron in my blood……. but the bone marrow biopsy tests showed my bone marrow had low iron which she believes/hopes is what caused platelets to go up so high and does now not feel that I have ET. So she is putting me on a high dose of iron in the hopes that in a month when I go see her at The Rex Cancer Center that this high dose of Iron will make my platelets go back down to a normal level….Out of all the scenario’s that could have played out…..this is the very best I could ever dare hope/pray for.  I prayed every single day since I was told I have an incurable disease to God to make this go away….so I wouldn’t have some incurable disease……so I would be healthy……. So now I have one more hurdle….a month of high dose of Iron and go back to the Rex Cancer Center and they check my blood….and my prayers are that my platelets will be down……so I thank all of you for your concerns, love, and prayers….I just ask you for you to keep me in your prayers for this last hurddle ….and that this high dose of Iron will get my platelets down……But the Dr is hopeful and so I am too….

Praise to God….I am not someone who usually quotes scripture, and  even though I won’t know for sure for a month that everything is OK….I want to close with this…..

Thessalonians 5:18 – give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Thank you God….You have turned a dark day in my life back to the light of  hope …

That is it for now…So until next time I AM DOING AWESOME…..I hope you are too…..
