Double A Penny - Step 20 - Fantastic News!!
Last Tuesday I went for another (Number Four) cancer surgery. It went fairly smoothly. The doctor said he did not find any tumors or growths but there was a red area. He took a Biopsy.
I got a call Friday morning from the doctor and he said that there was no cancer! The red area was just cystitis, an inflammation of the wall caused by the BCG treatments.
I am very blessed. The cancer is gone.
I will still need to go back every three months for a Cystoscopy to check it out. They will need to keep an eye on me. Eventually, hopefully the procedures will spread further apart to once a year. But that will take awhile. I will not be getting anymore BCG treatments for which I am so thankful. Hurray!!
I am grateful to many. Number one of course is My best friend, Jesus. He is always saving me from something, sin, sickness, foolish decisions, physical death, eternal death, you know the usual. Thank You Jesus!!
Plus I learned and changed a lot through this suffering, turning this from something horrible into something sweet. God always seems to do that, He is Faithful.
I am grateful to my wife, who has stuck by me, every moment, praying and caring for me. She is the greatest.
To all the people that have been praying for me and supporting me all around the world. My family, my Mom and My Son, my relatives, my wife's parents and family. Other people I didn't even know. They came out of the woodwork to minister, pray, encourage, just be there for me. Thank you.
To my doctor who is a great guy. He was always realistic yet optimistic. His humor and openness to my faith and beliefs encouraged me. The first thing he said before the surgery was "I don't want to offend you, but I really don't want to see you as much anymore." :-) He is getting his wish.
I am grateful to the two pastors and prayer team and others at the church I have been going to.
On Tuesday I got a card in the mail from the prayer team with the scripture:
He spoke, and they were healed - snatched from the door of death. Psalm 107:20 (TLB)
I feel I have been snatched from the door of death. I feel very blessed.
In conclusion, allow me to say the words I just love to say: "No Cancer!"
