Bad thyroid news

It was much warmer this morning. After exercise and breakfast, we went to the Bible study we lead. We had a new couple new to our park. I don’t know what they believe because he seemed to be confused as to why Islam and Christianity are different. Hopefully he will understand in a few weeks. We drove to the oncologist to see what he recommended in light of the data we had left with him yesterday. It was God’s will that he also recommended surgery. We drove to the endocrinologist but had plenty of time before the appointment. Evelyn wanted to wait for lunch until after the appointment so we stopped at a couple of places on the way. We mailed some packages and looked for some kitchen washing tools. We were early to the doctor but were able to get in early. She reinforced the suggestion saying the thyroid could be cancerous even though the needle biopsy did not show cancer it might be there. The nodule seems to be quite large and the needle can only take small portions. The doctor said there was an 85% chance that there was no cancer but didn’t think it was a good idea to take the chance. It might spread to the lymph nodes if it is there. We left certainly depressed. There was a thought that we might send the slides to MD Anderson for a second opinion. It is something to consider. We went to Taco Cabana for lunch and had a half chicken flame ante. It was delicious but too much to eat at once. We found our kitchen tools on the way home. Evelyn went straight to bed and slept for a couple of hours. We watched Purdue lose its second game in a row. Perhaps they aren’t as good as we thought. We ate peanuts and had some soup for our meal. Evelyn wrote some thank you notes and birthday cards before going to bed. I went to bed early too. Evelyn did buy a couple of blouses at the craft sale this morning, making her feel a little bit better. We will be praying for guidance and God’s mercy on the thyroid problem.
