I'm Learning Faith and Patience

Well, the doctors are pretty certain I have something called HCL or Hairy Cell Leukemia. They say if there is any kind of leukemia to have, this is it. It is not acute. That means they can treat it and in a vast majority of the cases it goes into remission for life. Thank you Lord. These past weeks have been a real growing experience for me and my wife. It is an ongoing process. While the doctors are nearly certain this is the diagnosis, we are still awaiting a second opinion from the University of Pennsylvania. There had been a delay in getting some slides to them and hopefully this week they will let us know for sure if it is HCL and if so, I will be begin what is only a 5 day treatment next week. God is good and through this has allowed us as a family to be an encouragement to others going through tough and uncertain times. I'll keep you posted on my progress and welcome your comments or questions.
