We will find out on Monday the results from the mouth and neck specimans. My prayers are with you all.

I am glad you have gotten this part over and I pray for healing and good results on Monday. I get confused whether to ask for positive news or negative news so I will ask for good news.
Is it John 6:18? If not, it would be quite appropriate for all of us to lay our fears on Him. Along the same lines, Phil 4:13 and Psalm 46:1-3. May God continue to bless you and all of us.

Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 207 | Here's adding my best wishes for negative (no-cancer) results...
As for Bible verses, my favorite one comes out of 1 John: "How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are!" I kept repeating that to myself the other day when I'd be tempted to get freaked out during my "gotta-stay-totally-still" PET Scan. It was very comforting...
