January 29, 2005

Went in for the pre-operative test. Seems like I am good to go next week! I was advised that I will probably be spending the night in the hospital. That was news to me! All is well with me. I'm ready to start my treatments.
Yesterday, I stopped by the Cancer Resource Room at Siteman after my tests, and was given a set of tickets to a modern dance company performance at the Fox Theater. I was so excited! One of the friends I took with me introduced me to a couple acquaintances who were attending the performance. They also received the tickets from the Cancer Center that day. It was amazing the people that God puts in your way. They were a great encouragement to me, and gave me some great advice. The gentleman I met suffered throat cancer from years of smoking. Don Young is now a leading advocate of smoking prevention in the St. Louis area. Please check out his website at www.youngchoices.org. He teaches classes at the Cancer Resource Room at Siteman and throughout the St. Louis area. I gave them both a hug when we departed, because they were such wonderful people. I am glad God "hooked us up!" :) AB
