And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." Phillipians 4:7

For the past six months I have been confessing the tumor taken out was a benign meningioma.  As it turns out, it was an aggressive type II tumor about the size of ping pong ball.  My neuro-surgeon got all of it out on February 5th of this year.  There were no post-operative complications, and I was out of the hospital very quickly.  The doctor told me he got all of it and it looked good. To come back and see him in six months. Praise the Lord!

So, I got another MRI and made an appointment to see him 6 mos later on August the 5, 2010.  Imagine my surprise when he came in soberly saying, "I never quite know how to handle these type of tumors."  I interrupted him and inquired as to what he was talking about he went on to explain about the results of the biopsy report.  I had not been called back in February, but the results were a rare 2% Type III tumor with properties resembling carcinoma. The report said..'anaplastic meningioma'.   Needless to say, I was in shock.  Didn't really have much to say at the time.  The doctor did say that the MRI results showed no more tumors and no residual tumor from the one removed.  This is very good since he had told me these were very aggressive tumors and could grow back. (I didn't receive that at the time & still don't in the Name of Jesus!) There are no cancerous tumors in my brain from the new MRI.  BUT he wants a 2nd opinion from an oncologist about whether we should do radiation therapy follow-up.  One that specializes in brain tumors.

So,  those are the medical facts thus far.  BUT GOD says:"By His stripes I am healed" in I Peter 2:24 & Isaiah 53:4.  He has a plan for my life to give me hope and a future Jeremiah says.  He wishes me to be in health even as my soul (mind, will and emotions) prospers in III John 1:2.

Finally, "And  the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your thoughts and minds in Christ Jesus."  We have to let go all the knowledge/understanding the doctors give us & guard what goes into our minds and let the PEACE that transcends all that enter in it.

On another note I just want to say that I wasn't happy that I didn't know about that report for 6 months!  Ignorance is not bliss!  I got a copy of that biopsy report and "googled" a lot of the words in it so I would KNOW what the "properties" of that tumor was!

BUT you know what?  The NAME OF JESUS IS ABOVE EVERY NAME THAT WAS NAMED IN THAT REPORT!  It came down to this:  What report are you going to believe?  The Word of God?  OR The word of man?  I choose the Word of God!!  Amen, So Be It!

I have an appointment for the oncologist.  We will counsel with doctors.  But I will ultimately do what our Great Physician tells me to do!  So, Blessed be God I am healed!
