                      Farmgirls........ I want you to know how I treasure each & every one of your posts.  I truly believe in the healing power of prayer. I am reading them at least once a day, to help myself stay as positive as possible, & to help reduce anxiey.   Missy, I do hope your biopsy was fine.   The waiting truly is difficult, isn't it?   Spoke with my Doctor yesterday, & she says we'll know more in about a week.  Have an important test coming up Monday, & the results are key. I am sure I'll be reading these posts over & over & over....... With gratitude, Melanie |

                      Melanie, I am praying for you to have supernatural peace as you wait.  It is very tough.  But, I have a picture of you, with your heavenly father next to you, and your hand is in His.  He is the One Who calmed the sea.
  Love, Ann

                      Melanie, it concerns me that you haven't posted anymore about those test results.  You're in my prayers daily.  Would you let us know how you're making out and what you know about your condition? <<<hugs>>> Ann

                      Dearest Farmgirls, here is an update....for what it is worth.  :(
  I have been waiting & waiting & waiting  (almost one month!)  for the test resutlts of a 24 hour urine collection.  It is a VERY important test as far as my diagnosis goes.  Well, my Doc's office finally found out today from the lab that the  urine specimen was "spilled during transport, & had to be discarded."   Excuse me for venting, but you can probably imagine how I feel.  First off, I am a Nurse, & believe me the top of that specimen container was screwed on tight!   Why didn't the lab notify my Doctor's office?  Why did I have to call my Doc's office 5 times to get them to follow-up on the test?   What is it with our healthcare system?!?   So, now I have to begin the whole process again.  Four days of a special diet - including NO COFFEE OR TEA!! - then a whole day pretty much tied to the house (or should I say toilet?).  Then more waiting, anywhere from 5-10 days  for the test results.  Sheesh.....
  But I want to say once again how much your prayers & support continue to mean to me.  I have been hanging on by the proverbial last thread, & I'm sure it would have snapped if not for  all of you.  I hope you will continue to pray for me, & my dear little boys. Love & blessings, Melanie |

                      How insensitive those people were - all the way from the transporting agency to the lab to the doctor's office.  Shame on them for not realizing that there are real people counting on their actions.  I'm so sorry you have to go through the unpleasantness of testing/waiting all over again.  I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this second round of tests.
