My beautiful little sister had a health crisis over the last few days. She was having a lot of pain on her right side and when she got it checked out they saw a mass on her ovary that was suspicious.
Long story short and many more tests later, she had laparoscopic surgery this morning. The mass on her ovary was malignant so she had a complete hysterectomy. The surgeon said it was stage one and NOT the kind of cancer that is lethal...this one is malignant but behaves benign, in that it is "encapsulated" and does not spread. She is expected to make a full recovery and no further treatment will be necessary as long as the pathology reports come back with clear lymph glands. We sure do love you, sis, and pray for a quick recovery!!!!

We'll add some prayers from Breckenridge too.
I've often marveled at how bad news turns into good news. I'm thankful she had the dedication to keep following up on the pain in her side! It's scary, but now the surgery is over. Who could have imagined that the news could be so positive.
We found from my husband's surgeries and recovery periods that there are always so many things that could be worse. Sometimes we would get silly and go through the list of what worse would look like.
It's a morbid way of giving a new perspective -- and it always worked with us. Usually our list would begin with the children having leukemia or living in a country with no clean water or stable food supply and would end with a meteor crashing into the house or the US going to war with Canada over maple syrup tarriffs.
There are so many blessings in each day. I'm glad your sister will have the opportunity to experience plenty more of them!

Thanks, Maryann! We sure are feeling blessed with the good news! Perspective is EVERYTHING :-)
Your sister sure is lovely. I'm glad that you have time with her. It makes me miss my sisters ....
Praying that Pam comes to have a powerful revelation of the God who sees as she walks through the journey of healing from her surgery.
What a blessing that you have each other to count on & that you can cry out to God for your dear sister.
