So being at home and learning how to ask for help is a new experience! But I actually found it quite liberating, not feeling like I have to do everything. But asking for help still does not come naturally. And as days went by I did learn how to do things even with tubes all around, lol.
About a week later, I had a follow up with the surgeon, and we got a ride back to the hospital, driving was still not the best idea, as the hospital was about 45 minutes away down a major highway.
David and I were both curious to hear what the doctor had to say about how it all went and what would happen next. I knew that chemotherapy and radiation were most likely going to be part of the next few months, so I was ready for that. We waited, both wondering how the next few weeks would go.
As the doctor entered we were not expecting what she said! She said that all the tumor was taken out, and there was no sign of any cancer left, even the lab that examined all of it said that there was no more there, so what were they to look for?
YEA! That was not what we expected, but we both could see God’s hand in this and His faithfulness to us. I could not wait to tell people about this, all the ones that had been praying for me. Even the our pastor, Jeff, responded, 3x’s, He is faithful!!!
I was still sent to chemotherapy and radiation treatments, but from the doctor, this was just preventative. I knew God has taken care of me, so I knew He would be there through all the next months.
The above verse was given to me through Jeff as a promise from God. He called me by name, His child, I am His. And I would pass through the waters, the chemotherapy liquids, I would walk through the fire, the radiation, and He would be there with me. These were long days, long weeks, but with David there, and the promise that God, my Father, was there, the time went quickly, and was soon over. Then learning how to keep going, but not forget the promises.
I will continue to write all of the journey; I think it is important for my kids and grandkids to see that God is real, He is here with us and will never leave us. And, writing and remembering what has happened, helps me remember what He has done and will still do!
