Not a Good Week

Hi all: I again was reminded of why it is good to take everything a day at a time and enjoy each minute of each day. The week started out good. Tuesday Jerry had a CT for a lump on his shoulder blade which was getting bigger and started to be painful. He was already driving home when they called him back for another CT of the front and back of his chest. After the 2nd CT and again in the car he had a call to go to his doctor's office immediately. We were skeptical of the lump on his back but in shock when we found out she thinks he has lung cancer. She said there is a lump the size of a plum in his lung and it was like everything exploded. Well, right then everything exploded for us too. He was fortunate because of someone we know to get into a top urologist on Tuesday. They say they'll do a biopsy before they have detailed information. The rest of this week has been trying to stay in the NOW. We been nausaus and not eating well, but at least we are ingesting something (like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches). So far we have kept our emotions under control mainly because we are saying the serenity prayer about once an hour. It is easy for the mind to wander into the "what-ifs" and project different scenerios but that is not productive, physically or emotionally for either one of us. We are not telling anyone except our sisters until after the biopsy. So I'll ask for prays and hope I have some good news next week. Our weather is HOT but at least the AZ wildfires are finally under control. Hugs and prayers to everyone, Leah
