One Of Those Tougher Days

If you've read the "About Me" page that Sharon wrote, you'll see that she mentions that things have been a roller-coaster of highs and lows.  Well, last Thursday was unfortunately one of those lower points.

Sharon had two scans booked on the same day....one for a brain scan and the other for her body.  The brain scan showed that whilst her tumour has not grown any further, unfortunately there are several new growths.  To put things in perspective, the size of these tumours range in size from a pea to a pin-head.  Whilst this was very disappointing news to receive, the consultant was positive that the same gamma-knife treatment could be successfully applied as before to these new tumours.  As the machine is currently being upgraded with new cobalt, the procedure is tentatively scheduled for 5th March.  We travel to London again this coming Tuesday to get the results of the second scan (on the body area).

As you can imagine, this news has been a huge shock to us and we are still quite raw.... we had not expected any issues with the brain scan and had more reservations about the results of the second scan on the body area.

Sharon and I have headed away this weekend and having some time away coming to terms with the news.  It has been a time for us to talk, cuddle, cry, and above all, pray.  For ourselves, we need to remember that this news, has not caught God by surprise and He is in absolute control of all things (and that includes Sharon's health).

Thank You for reading!
