The Diagnosis

I missed a call from my doctor this morning while I was out exercising.  I returned her call as soon as I got home, but of course I had to wait all day, on pins and needles, to hear back from her.

When she called, she told me that I do have breast cancer again.  She explained that it looks a lot like the cancer I had before, with very similar features.  She made sure I was okay and then set up a time for me to come meet with her in person.

I hung up and cried, of course.  But within a minute of getting off the phone, I had a thought from an Elder Maxwell talk enter my mind with great force.  He said that the way we initially react to trials is vital.  He asked, "Which will we do most, murmur or ponder?"  I determined that I would ponder.
