The Biopsy
Thursday, February 02, 2006
In spite of the assurances from Dr. Thomas, it was a relief to learn, Saturday evening, that the results of the biopsies on the bone and tissue removed were completely negative. No sign of cancer! Not bad for starting with a 10% chance of survival and then being told that “this cancer will kill you in six to twelve months”!
When one prays, “Your will be done, Lord,” one still has this little voice quietly saying, “but I would really appreciate it being what I want.” I do admit I had to deal with that, as well as a niggling doubt that seems to be impossible to banish. Lord, I believe…Help Thou my unbelief.
However, I really expected to fully recover. At least, I think I had pretty well convinced myself of that.
So, why were the predictions of the oncologists and surgeon confounded? That is the question, isn’t it? Was it one thing, or a combination of things? How do I relate whatever faith and trust in God I have to the many things we tried? Should I have trusted that God would honor the prayers of the hundreds of people that were praying for me?
I am still working on this and will have more to say soon and that and much else, I am sure!
In the meantime, again we want to thank everyone for their prayers, love and support, and we certainly thank God for these results, His healing and, most of all, His love!
