Speed Bump #2

"Your cancer is back."
"What?"
"Your biopsies came back positive for cancer."
"What now?"
"Surgery and radiation is the plan for now."
"Wow! I was not expecting that."
"Neither was I, this is a total surprise."
"Is this a new cancer?"
"No."

....

That is how I remember the conversation going on March 6, 2013.  "Your cancer is back" are not words that I have ever expected or wanted.  In my mind, I had closed the door on cancer and was moving forward with my life. I have had enough cancer education.  However, my 'life plan' obviously has something else in mind.

Right now, all I want to do, is to just continue on as if nothing has changed.   Life continues.

I had wondered why it seemed like every television pastor (Ok I admit it.  I have become a fan of Joel Osteen) this past week had been referring on the fact that with faith that God is in control and we have nothing to fear.  Now I know.  Someone was trying to remind me that God has a plan for each of us.  Sometimes it is hard to understand but it will all work out the way God wants it.  We just need faith to carry us through.

Isaiah 41:12
For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help you.

I will  follow the treatment plan as outlined by my doctors and pray for the day when I will truly be able to say 'good-bye' to cancer.  

Thank you for your support and continued prayers.  Happy Sabbath.
