Boy, Satan sure can steal things from us, can't he? Our health, our joy, our jobs, our spouses.
When we were told that mom's cancer had, in fact, spread to her lymph node, it was a total shock. We were depressed at the news, we were fearful for her future, we were worrying about all of the what-ifs that accompanies "cancer" diagnoses.
But then...Jesus steps in and takes what is seeming like a no-win situation...and triumphs after all!
Mom's tissue samples were shipped off to California for further testing. The center that tested the tissue sent back results to her oncologist, who shared the findings with my mom at her last oncology appointment.
The results? Based on genetic factors and aggressiveness of her type of cancer, the chance of Mom's cancer having spread or the chance that Mom will develop more cancer in the future is only 5%!!!!! Praise the Lord!
Also, even though the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes, there were zero margins...meaning the surgeon actually cut all of it out!
The oncologist then went on to say that because of the test results, Mom will not have to undergo chemotherapy as originally planned.
Yay, Lord!
Thank you for turning this sad and overwhelming situation into something so worthy of your praise!
Amen.
