Psalm 94:18-19 - "When I said, "My foot is slipping," Your love, O Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, Your consolation brought joy to my soul."

The diagnosis is solitary bone plasmacytoma, which is essentially a single location myeloma. From what we can gather thus far this will certainly mean radiotherapy and possibly some stem cell work (all my own cells of course). The likelihood of this sort of cancer occurring in someone of my age and general health is truly minute and immediately statistics cease to be helpful. There are still more tests to be run. Please pray for our doctors. Probably the biggest danger now would be multiple myeloma. There does not seem to be anything that I could have done to avoid this. We will keep you posted. My head has been so foggy today, I'm not sure if it's the meds, the new place or the recent surgery (probably all of the above), but it is very frustrating to be unable to think clearly on diagnosis day. I am once again keenly aware of my many layers of weakness. My dear friends Matt and Sam are working in the driveway and I envy their legs:) I'm glad that on days like this the bustle of things to be done never slows. The cardinals outside the window don't care about my diagnosis and that seems right. Thank you for your prayers.
Stephen
