Diagnosis

I just met a woman who received a diagnosis today. She was informed that she has cancer in her lungs and in her liver. She told me that my x-ray would reveal that everything was not all right in her chest. She told me that it would show the cancer. As the tears began to well in her eyes, my mind raced for what to say. Everything seemed inadequate, and truthfully, it was. I have never recieved such news. I have no idea what she was feeling or thinking. She whispered that she was scared. I quietly explained how I would achieve the picture. I didn't know what else to do. My day had been tiring; my week, exhausting. However, I felt a humility being set down on me as I realized the blessing my day had been. I am alive. I can breathe easily. I have health... I went to her room to complete a stat order; I left very humbled.
