It was a very anxious morning, wondering what Dr. Blake's second opinion would be. After another exam and reviewing all of my records, this doctor DOES concur with Dr. Brown. In fact, he said there's not a doctor in this country that wouldn't recommend surgery. I suppose what he said gave us the reassurance that this IS what needs to be done, but I must admit for a few minutes I thought maybe it wouldn't have to happen.
Now though, after talking with him, he was not as optimistic as Dr. Brown, so we have a bigger fear of what COULD happen if the surgery isn't totally successful. Because the tumor was so low, and they will need to take at least another centimeter of tissue around where it had been, it is dangerously close to a muscle that if damaged would change my life as I know it. This is our greatest fear now. So, I have a new Prayer to ask – for a completely successful surgery on November 10th. If the result of earlier prayers are any indication, I have no doubt God will answer it. Please, keep the prayers coming....

Dear Debbie,
I have been told that your fears and dread are put in your mind by Satan. Since it is Halloween season, I guess he is giving you fear. Just recognize those fears are from him and refuse to accept them into you thought stream. Tell him to go away!
We are all praying your prayer. You will have a total and complete recovery, God says so.
Thank you, God.
I love you, Debbie.
