So, what’s the plan?

March 30, 2023

I thought we had a plan. And we did. But now we don’t.

When paired with new information from the PET scan, the plan we had in place looked less and less like a good plan and looked more and more like an outdated one. As I have been reading clinical research articles and talking with other GCT patients and seeking advice from medical professionals, it has become clear that I should not have surgery on April 14. The idea of chemotherapy is also being called into question.

Sunday evening, 9 p.m., I’ll be talking with a doctor in Melbourne, Australia. I’ve received a referral to Duke. I’ve also got an appointment with MD Anderson in Houston in May (if I choose to wait that long).

All the questions - again. None of the answers.

Thankful for time away here in Texas to put my mind to other matters, and trusting that God’s perfect plan for me will become clear as I continue to listen and discern.

I will trust, as Job did, that my God knows where I am going, that His plan for me will not change, and that He controls my destiny. (Job 23)
