A breath of Fresh Air!

Well, for the last month we've been a little on edge. Justin has had some cyst type things on his arm and back since before we married 4 years ago. They were concerning to me, but him being a man didn't think they were that big of a deal, plus he hates needles and such so he dispised the thought of getting them removed. I have begged him on and off for the last 4 years and when we moved here to Virginia I knew his job would be less demanding and he would have more time to take care of them. Needless to say we made an appointment, had them removed, and then got the test results.
They called it hereditary leiomyoma and said that all 3 places were Atypical and abnormal. They said, and this is the doctor's words exactly: "It's not really cancer, but it's not really not cancer." It is a rare disease that of course as you know is hereditary and it leads to and is associated with Renal Cell Carcinoma or better known as kidney cancer.
It's difficult as a wife, and a young one at that, to hear that your husband could have kidney cancer. I was scared beyond belief! They did a CAT scan and while we waited for those results I was on pins and needles for the first few days anyway. I just began to pray and believe that everything would be normal. Oh, did I mention that his mom passed away of cancer and it began in her kidneys? When we found that information out my heart really sank! But like I said, I knew that God had a bigger, better plan for us than cancer! We both believed that God was going to take care of all this!
Today he had surgery again in the same 3 spots as before. They had to go back in and cut out more chunks to make sure they got all of the abnormal tissue, and guess what............ the CAT scan showed NORMAL kidneys!! You can't imagine my joy and relief, and mostly my thankfulness to God that he did what we knew he would do!

So now, we will wait to get the Pathology report to make sure they got it all. (Please pray that they did b/c I'm not sure Justin can endure yet ANOTHER surgery on those places! His incisions are already about 5 inches long each!) For those of you that knew about this....THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! I would be so lost without Justin and I'm so glad to know that God still has a plan for us! :)
