Negative report!

So, I was supposed to receive the results from the cytology report last Monday because the doctor's office said it normally takes 5 business days for the results to come back.  You may remember my last doctor's visit was 2 weeks ago from tomorrow which is when they gathered the urine sample to run the cytology report on.  Well, I never heard back from anyone, and I wasn't all that sure I wanted to hear the results so I never called to ask, thinking that they would be calling any day now anyway.  But finally today curiosity got the best of me so I called, and they said they still didn't have the results!  What?  It's been almost 2 weeks!  So they said they would check on it, and a couple hours later I received a call back stating that the results were negative!  Woo hoo!  They are going to fax those results over to the doctor at Moffitt Cancer Center that we are seeing tomorrow so he'll have that and all the paperwork from the other tests they've done on me, so that's good.  But I have to say that was quite a great boost to hear the word negative come back on a report.  My doctor told us that he wouldn't feel comfortable calling me cancer free unless he had 3 negative cytology reports and then a negative biopsy.  So 1 down, 3 to go!  :-)  I want to say thank you SO much to everyone who is praying for me! 


I went to a church service Saturday night at Hollyhead's church because that used to be my church 17 years ago, and they were having a celebration service to commemorate the pastor's 25th anniversary.  Well, there were tons of people who came from all over for the service, so I was able to connect with a bunch of people I knew from back then.  I can't tell you how many people came up to me and said they were praying for me - I had no idea!  It was SO incredibly encouraging!!  So once again - I just want to thank everyone for their prayers!  Blessings!
