Dear Friends,
I have a surgery date and update from City of Hope. City of Hope tumor board also agreed it is regrowth and surgery is needed. My surgery is scheduled for March 6th at City of Hope in Duarte with Dr. Badie. My headaches and head pressure are getting excruciating, my leg heaviness and weakness is worse, Im getting these jerky twitches in my arm and leg. They prescribed steriods to help with my symptoms until the surgery. I am offering up everything and maybe God wants me to suffer in this way to change my heart and draw me closer. I will try harder to accept this pain and suffering. Lord, what do you want me to learn from this? I will pray and trust. It is more real now, and I am nervous about it all.
This morning, I got the results of the brain mri I had yesterday. There is good news and bad news. The good news is that there was no more growth in the regrowth found in January. The bad news is there is a new tumor that is growing adjacent to the other one. I still need to talk to the City of Hope neurosurgeon about these results and if he will be able to remove all tumors. Praying he is able to get everything out safely, with no complications and a smooth recovery.
I will have a pre op appointment either later this week or early next week and find out the 5th exactly what time my surgery will be on the 6th.
Please continue to pray for me and my family. Thank you for all your prayers and support. I will post another update after talking with Dr. Badie and my pre op appt.
Damien will post updates during surgery and after.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen, pray for us.
Mother Mary wrap us in your mantle of protection and draw us closer to your Son.
God bless you all.
Ashley
