Re: Prayers Are Needed
Spinner: To encourage you, I had a 268 cubic inch tumor removed from my left lung on September 18th. It was just the size and shape of a football. I was down to a few hours to live, literally being smothered to death by the thing. Left lung was collapsed, right lung was partially collapsed and my heart was being shoved out of the way. My oncologist told me I was a dead man and to use the remaining time wisely.
God did not see it that way. Not only did the surgeon remove the tumor, he got a pulmonologist to to re inflate and save my left lung. There are NO signs of cancer anywhere else now. (The surgeon told me I probably would not make it through the surgery, 30% chance)
I have friends that lived through lymphatic sarcoma, lung cancer, colon cancer and liver cancer, and just this week another one that has made it through brain cancer, some with extensive spreading of their disease. All were told they would not live past a few months, but once again God did not see it that way. He has a bigger vote on the matter.
I don't mind posting that I had to call and rely on Him.
I am doing the same for you.
Don't give up, don't feel alone even if things get worse for awhile. "He that is within us is greater than he who is in the world.
PS The chemo really stinks. I lost from 195 to 135 pounds on it. I am still calling the Scottsman daily. but they tell me this will pass. May God let us meet on the water this next year.
