MANY PRAYERS NEEDED!!
My DH, Terry, went in for his routine yearly check up. Except, it has been two years this time. His psa numbers were EXTREMELY eleveated. We don't know the cause, but guessing it is cancer. I spoke with his doctor for about 15 minutes last night on the phone, and while she was assuring me that there were other things that can raise the psa level, she stated she could not assure me it wasn't. She said she did not want to give me a false hope. She tried to calm me by telling me prostate cancer is slow growing, very treatable, and there are many options. We didn't go into any more details. Terry has an appointment set up with a urologist for next Thursday, July 21. It had originally been set up for August 9, but I put some pressure on them! (It's called PANIC!) His psa number should be around 4.5, and it is 29.5. Not good!
So, I am asking for prayers that we can be a little calmer (#10 on Margo's 10 commandments, above) and, of course, that it will NOT be cancer. God has given us some major economic/lifestyle challenges in the past 4 years, and we have worked through them. This will also be VERY, VERY costly to us right now! We were hoping to not have another challenge quite so soon.
Thank you all!

Dawn, you know that you and Terry are both in my prayers and will remain until this is all resolved. Love you!!!!
