We saw the oncologist yesterday and told the results of Nisa's bioposy last week - "inconclusive", meaning they found more micro-calcification's.. It's like were back to square one. They arranged for, and she had an MRI that afternoon. We could get the results tomorrow.

Now, she does have to go back for more surgery, that's a definate. We just don't know if it will be another lumpectomy, or a mastectomy. Once all this is done, she will still need the six weeks radiation. She's so afraid of needles, and so tired of the pain she shakes just thinking about it.

We were both basket cases last night, but doing better today. Nisa is the type where she get's the emotions out, and by the next day she's ready to fight. I'm very quiet and do things to keep me busy - I've a new hobby learning to draw celtic knots.

My eating has been getting out of hand, but fortunately I've only gained 4 lbs. I know, I shouldn't be gaining anything, but at least I'm not completely over the edge. My pouch does tell me when I've had enough, but do a lot of grazing and eating the wrong things. I know it's stress, and falling back into my old "comfort" habits. I'm keeping a close eye on it. The "old" me would have gained at least 10 to 15 lbs. by now.

On the job side, I had a telephone interview today that I think went well. They will call next week to schedule a personal interview. I have my application in at another place, and will hear back from them next week. I also found a few I will apply for this evening.

So far, were holding, just holding. Nothing's been repossessed yet, and I'm doing my best to keep that from happening, or allow the situation to get that close. At this point I don't really care. I just want Nisa healthy.

Thank you for keeping us (especially Nisa) in your prayers.
