Hearing the good news

God knew that there was some good news that we needed to hear at that Monday meeting with the doctor. Our thoughts could have been paralyzed by the bad news and unable to hear the good news if we had not had that time over the weekend to absorb all that we could ahead of time. This cancer has a high rate of metastasis and the weekend was filled with dread of what the report would be. But the PET scan revealed that the cancer had not spread to other parts of Aaron's body. This news was so huge and so good that we came away rejoicing and praising God. Can you imagine? Finding out that your son has cancer and being able to rejoice all at the same time? The three of us were practically giddy. It was bizarre! I'm thanking God for that timeline!
