Barely a month has gone by and I'm back!

I have been experiencing increased dizziness accompanied by vision problems while I am reading, which I do a lot. After almost a week of the dizziness getting worse, we called the Brain Tumor Center and the neurologist prescribed 4mg of steroids a day. After 5 days on the steroids and no relief I have been scheduled for an MRI, tonight, at Duke Hospital.

This attack has gotten right to the core of me. My physician thinks these problems are tumor related, though he doesn't think it is because the tumor is growing. I am scared as I have not been before. I am praying for that peace that has been my close companion for the past year and it seems to be eluding me. Perfect love casts out all fear and I stand assured, knowing my heavenly Father loves me with a perfect love.

Here is what I fear. I write it down as a way of exposing the boogeyman. He isn't all that scary in the light, you know. I am afriad the tumor is growing and I will have to be admitted to the hospital. The tumor is growing and there is nothing they can do about it. There is another tumor growing somewhere. All of this is worst case scenario. Of course I could also find out that the tumor is gone and the dizziness is just a factor of that miracle.

I have hope in one thing, God. He is able to to exceedlingly, abundantly more than I can ask or think.

Thanks for praying.

Joyfully,

Elyse
