...and it is not good. I have cancer. There. I have said it out loud. In writing. And on my blog.
I am still in shock but here is what I know. Dr. Engel called and said "The news is not good. It's cancer." He went on to say that we know nothing more at this time, I will need a PET scan to see if the disease is contained or has spread to surrounding areas, etc. While I am terrified of cancer, I am thankful for a diagnosis. Hopefully it is contained and treatable. Pray for me.
According to the order for my PET scan, I have squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal septum. I pray it is confined and treatable.

Prayers are headed your way until you don't need they anymore and you are better. Stay strong and positive!

NRPS will be dedicating a song specifically to you at the next show; I hoped that would lighten the mood just a little bit. (Bless you, Buddy, for being so cool and making that happen!)
I'll see you Friday morning - and damn it, remember that I'm maybe 18 minutes away by car if you need anything between now and then, so do not for one moment hesitate to ring me, roomie.
Michelle,
Prayers and all the best to you in treatment and recovery.

Running down the muddy road
A hundred miles from hope
Dangling from a banyan tree
I see a length of rope
Behind me is a tiger
And a killer with a knife
One wants me for supper
And the other wants my life
I got no choice but to grab
The rope and start to climb
The situation here is such
The choice was never mine
Hand by hand I pull my body
From the mucky ground
Up into the sunshine
Where the birds are flying round
I just keep on climbing 'cause
There's nothing else to do
My hands are getting tired
But my spirit pulls me through!

Oh Mizshely! My heart is with you in this challenging and difficult time. I hardly know what to say...Antioxidents... Positive attitudes and Personal Affirmations.... I dont know...I am just praying for the best of outcomes for you and hoping to see you soon, looking happy and well and full of life's enjoyment. Take scrupulous care of yourself.
