I am just so relieved I have to share with everyone! My mom had a biopsy a few weeks ago because they found something in her throat. We have all been pretty worried although my Mom kept telling us it would be fine. (But we all know she would tell us that no matter what because she doesn't want us to worry). But the doctor called her today- with negative results. Thank the Lord!!! I am so relieved and happy she's fine. They want her to see an endocrinologist because they think she might have thyroid issues but that can bee managed with medication. But no cancer. I just keep thanking God over and over again. So I just had to share my family's good news with all of you Mamas. I've been stressed a lot lately and every time I post you ladies are right there with encouragement and good wishes. It's such a help to have the support system we have created here.
And now the obligatory question- what did you worry about that had a positive ending?

I could write a book about all the times that God pulls my bacon out of the fire. Mostly my stress comes from money. Sometimes my stress comes from little kids and trying to walk that fine line between hovering over them and not letting them do anything and yet keeping them safe. I had a little girl once that twisted her neck in a very strange way in the daycare. The doctor stood right in her hospital room and told us all that it was a freak case and there was nothing any of us could do. But living in a sue happy world I couldn't help but worry. Another time I had to call CPS when a child came in with a huge, dark, handprint on his thigh. I was afraid the dad would lie and say I did it. He didn't and I didn't even think about the idea that his hands were so much larger than mine and the state worker that came out measured her own hand against the marks and told me they were the size of a mans hands.
I've had 2 potential cancer scares in my life and both turned out perfectly fine. God is very good.
Yesterday I heard someone say that God is never early. God is never late. God is always right on time.
A.!!
HOW WONDERFUL there is nothing wrong (or seriously) with your mom!! HOW WONDERFUL!!!
I try not to worry about anything I have no control over...it's hard - but really - I try not to panic and try not to stress over things I have no control over...I have to trust in God that everything will be right!!
That being said - my son - Nicky - fell headfirst off the diving board at the pool when he was 5...I was frantic - the ambulance showed up - got him looked over and Xrays done - NOTHING - only scratches...doctors said "are you SURE he fell OFF THE DIVING BOARD?!!" YEP!!! Saw it with my own eyes!!
good to hear things ended well!
So happy for you! That is wonderful news! I think that it is human nature to lurk slowly around the next corner cautiously, I know I do. My husband has been undergoing treatment for bladder cancer for almost 3 yrs and recently had a scare that involved them thinking it had spread to his lower region & his brain. Once we were told that there was no cancerous growth, we were elated, but then immediately focused on his next procedure in Sept. It's hard to enjoy good news for too long when it can be taken away, especially when that "C" word has already been mentioned. But on the other hand, life is too short - sometimes you just have to skip dinner & go right to the dessert! Again, I'm so happy to hear the good news!
So happy for you and your family, what great news!!!!! I actually was having a bad day and hearing your good news lifted my spirits :-)
I love your comment about the obligatory question!
Thank you for sharing such wonderful, uplifting news!
& my positive ending would be that my 23yo son can walk/run with his hip replacement! The "old" pain is gone....he has "new" pain....but we knew this would happen. His posture is straight....as is his gait. Overall, a positive ending for now!
Blessings to you....& your family.
That is great news. It hit home. To answer your questioned I worried about a biopsy done on my mother's throat that turned out not to be cancer by a thyroid issue that is managed with medication. It was over 10 years ago and I still thank God everyday.
That's wonderful! Your very blessed! Give your mom a giant hug! Id give just about anything to hug mine just one more time!
So happy to hear the wonderful news!
