Two Steps Forward, 1 Step Back

My oncologist called today to see what happened yesterday at the MRI.  He told  me a story about when he had a panic attack in an MRI machine.  He then told me the good news...I don't have to redo it!  He got enough information with the time I was in to see what he needed to see!  YEAH!!  He then told me the downside.  The tumor in my back is still there but from what he can tell it hasn't changed.  He is consulting
with a friend in New York that has been working with him on my case but he is pretty sure we will continue chemotherapy and now add radiation to my back.  This is so disappointing after hearing how the chemo is working in my lymph nodes and lungs!  I think today's news was just a little bump on my road to recovery.  I just have to pray that the radiation will zap this back tumor and the chemo will continue to do what it's doing.  I know God will listen and get me through all of this!
