Waiting for husband's liver transplant

Please pray or light a candle or send a positive thought

To my little sister. I just got this email from her

Okay, so I’m not going to contribute to the Make "Spit's" Day Better Foundation here, but I want to let you know what’s going on. I have a tumor in my neck. I don’t know a whole lot at the moment, but I’m meeting with a surgeon at 2:30 today. I got an ultrasound of it on Tuesday, and the plan was to have it biopsied after that. But then the surgeon decided to skip the biopsy. I don’t know why he wants to skip it, since it’s the usual thing to do, but I’m trying to see it as an improvement on the previous plan, because sooner is better than later to get this thing out. I think (according to my P.A. and the websites I’ve looked at) that they’ll remove my whole thyroid and the tumor at the same time, since the tumor is pretty big, and then they’ll biopsy the tissue they remove. Zoinks. I’m really scared. (husband) has been amazing, as usual, and he’s going to the surgeon with me. My boss is being supportive, too.
I’ll let you know what the surgeon says. Maybe he’ll say, Gee, you look so good with a big bulge in your neck! Let’s just leave it there! A girl can dream . . .

She's so far away and I just want to be there with her
