Hearing the bad news

We had been told that Aaron has a tumor, but after MRI's, CAT scans, and a biopsy, we still didn't have a diagnosis. There was one more test, a PET scan, that would give the whole picture and then we would meet with the doctor for a full report. Aaron was with his Dad at this appointment and they just happened to sneak a peek at the chart and discovered that the doctors had given it a name. Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma. Armed with this news we hit the internet and it wasn't long before we were extremely fearful. What we read gripped our hearts. That was a Friday and we had the weekend to absorb this news before facing the doctor on Monday. I am confident that God gave us this time to let the news sink in before hand. We were able to come up with our list of questions and be prepared for the next appointment instead of having our thoughts paralyzed by the news.
