The demon still lurks in the dark.
Questions fly like fists,
never hitting their mark.
Waiting in the hell of not knowing,
choking on speculation.
Worry is a waking shadow
that disappears in the light of sleep.
Revelation a double-edged sword
of anticipation and dread.
A week is an eternity.
A week is no time at all.
And so the rollercoaster
rides on.

So sorry to hear of your worrying time, I know it can dominate every waking minute. Another worry you probably have is the cost of treatment, if that becomes necessary.
My thoughts are with you.

Cari.

Cari,
I appreciate your concern. Dennis and I are both natural born worriers anyway and yes, money is an issue. Thank goodness he has insurance now, a few years ago he didn't. ~L

Blues,
I'm honing my skills of looking for the silver lining. It has brought Dennis and I much closer. I'm very grateful. ~L

Thanks for thinking of us Jerry,
The prognosis is better than we had expected.
They believe they can cure it with chemo and radiation. The fight is on now! ~L

You sound optimistic, Lori, which is the only way to be in situations like this and life in general. I'm hoping for the best.
