When Negative Is Positive

The results for my genetic (BRAC) tests came in, everything was negative.

Yes, you read that right. Let me repeat that in case you missed it, EVERYTHING was NEGATIVE. Mutations in my genes were not detected.

We are still processing and accepting such good news.

Relief.

Gladness.

Gratefulness.

Thank you, Jesus.

This allows for a different approach with surgeries. The first surgery will be September the 24th. Of all the surgeries expected, this one should be the easier one. The surgeon says recovery will be easy, she doesn’t expect that I should need much help afterward. I will be in the hospital just one night if all goes well.

We met last Friday with the Nutritional Counselor. I really appreciated this visit. He gave us many suggestions for rebuilding my health with diet and supplements and even addressed some of my lingering side effects. He also answered some of our questions about why surgery and radiation were necessary and explained why there could be microscopic disease left.

I walked away with another level of understanding.

The Lord keeps providing for our needs as we continue on this journey. Our faith walk keeps growing as he molds us.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support. We are grateful.

Now if we are children, then we are heirs – heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. Romans 8:17
