Prayers Still Needed

Yesterday Mrs. Yurodivi went and had an ultrasound and mammogram. She had found a lump in the area of the previous surgeries, and obviously she was very concerned.

The radiologist yesterday said he couldn't tell whether the tissue he was seeing was cancer or just scar tissue. So he referred her to the surgeon who did the work last summer. Then today Mrs. Y got a call from her oncologist's office saying that the onco wanted the mass removed, but would defer to the surgeon's judgement.

So off we went to the surgeon's office. He probed and prodded the affected area, and his face appeared to relax. I'm sure you can imagine that I was studying his aspect intently for indications of a prognosis. Fortunately, he said that it was extremely unlikely to be cancer, but he referred her to a different radiologist -- one wo would not issue any indefinite opinions like "I think it's this" or "it's probably that," but would give a definite diagnosis.

So we need your prayers some more -- you've always been very generous to pray for Mrs. Y. I'm invoking the Fourteen Holy Helpers some more.

Thanks again for your prayers. It is a comfort to know that you are inteceding for us.
