Well, there are probably many ways to figure this thing out but the fact of the matter is …

I had a large lump that didn’t go away. When it was finally biopsied, there was a mass that I could see on the screen and the doctor could both see and feel. She said it was not a cyst but definitely tissue. She took a sample and the cells were abnormal, the particular characteristics of which would definitely present as possible malignancy. Hence the specialist referral and the MRI, which occurred yesterday.

The online report came in a couple of hours ago and the doctor’s analysis followed an hour or so later. There was nothing there. No mass. No abnormality. No sign of anything amiss. Anywhere. It was just gone.

I don’t pretend to understand all of this. This is the second time something like this has happened to me. I know many people who suffer terribly, despite fervent prayers. I am humbled by the fact that this has occurred again. There was something with the potential to be dangerous and now it’s gone.

Go figure.

I know there will be discussion about exactly what happened. My doctor recommended I have a follow up with the specialist in a month. No problem.

But, for now, I will thank Jesus, who I know to be real, for intervening. I don’t know exactly why. And I will thank the many, many dozens of people who have taken the time to pray for me amidst everything else that goes on in their lives. What a blessing.
