The biopsy went well this morning. i requested the same meds as last time, and they really seem to help make it more bearable. They also took a DNA sample from my mouth and a skin biopsy as part of the study. I am really glad I was given an opportunity to participate in a study. So many others have gone before me and I finally feel like I can contribute something.
I'm still on antibiotics in an attempt to save my central line. The plan is to start chemo this afternoon. I have felt moments of peace -- just realizing that God has me exactly where I'm supposed to be right now, and His grace is always sufficient.

But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you. Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, 'I believed, and so I spoke,' we also believe, and so we also speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. - 2 Corinthians 4:5-18

I am glad the biopsy went well. I am still praying for your healing but much more for peace and comfort.
You don't even know me - I heard about you through the Moellers - but praise the Lord - that's what I've been praying... for peace. There is truly nothing greater in this life than that peace that passes all understanding... knowing that you are right where God wants you to be. Be assured He is working ALL the time. God Bless you!
Sending hugs and prayers your way. How is your husband? How are your parents and siblings?
Love from a sister in Christ--Shanda, from CT
