No Radiation!

Metisha met with the radiologist today to learn about the radiation process. The radiologist decides whether or not radiation is required based on a list of approximately twelve criteria. Metisha only met one of the criteria so the radiologist does not want to do radiation! Yeah!!! This will shorten the reconstruction process! Praise God for his continual protection!

Tisha’s hair is continuing to grow! It is getting thicker and is very soft. Every time I see her I’m blown away by how much more hair she has. There are even a few pieces around her ear that are almost long enough to touch her ear! And parts of her eyebrows are growing in also!

So here’s the funny story of the week. Actually this one is a bit creepy. Metisha was at the grocery store the other day when a man walked up to her and said, “don’t I know you?” Tisha politely said no but that didn’t stop him. He continued to follow her through the store and said he was a football coach in Dallas and maybe he had subbed for her. He asked for her name and offered up his and checked her hand for a wedding band! So even with a lack of hair and ta tas, Metisha was hit on. Of course he left the store the same time as she did, so she had to take a winding 30 minute drive home to make sure he wasn’t following her. She said he must be weird but I say her beauty far exceeds hair and ta tas!

Metisha also had a scan yesterday of her sinus, sees the plastic surgeon on Friday and the ENT doctor next week. So the doctor appointments continue!

Continue to pray that:

• Metisha will remain cancer free
• The plastic surgeon will release her for work at her appointment on Friday
• She will have all of her sick leave from surgery reimbursed from a sick bank. She has to apply to the sick bank. If she is not approved, she will be docked pay for every day she misses in the future and she still has a lot of doctor appointments and procedures between now and June!
• God will heal Metisha’s friends Jeff and John who are also battling cancer
