My New Blog

Last October, my dear spouse went in for a followup mammogram and the Radiologist found that the spot in her breast had changed. He sent Sandy to have a biopsy and you guessed it, she had a malignancy.   That sent us into a tailspin for a few days. 

We went to see a surgeon on the recommendation of our Family Physician.  We did not know anything about him.  After meeting him and discussing the surgery with him, we felt that he had been sent to us to protect her from the cancer.  He had great faith in God and he simply told us that he would cure her. At about the same time our friends at Church heard of Sandy's Cancer and the prayers began to cover her like a blanket.  Our family members around the country set their prayer groups to work for her and Sandy was taken care of. 

The next step after successful surgery was the oncologist.  He is a devout man who told us that his job was to see to it that Sandy did not die of Cancer.  After some special tests for DNA chemo was ruled out and reconstruction began.  The plastic surgeon was terrific and has done a great job.  Sandy had some muscle and nerve damage during one of the operations but that is being taken care of by the hospital. 

Through all of this, Sandy was not afraid.  She instilled this in our children and in me.  We all trusted in a good outcome and we were granted that gift through the grace of God.

We have been blessed.  I guess what I'm trying to say is "Keep faith and believe in the healing power of your God.  Engage your friends and relatives in prayer and trust.  You may not always be cured as Sandy has been but you will blessed.
