healed me." Psalm 30:2
Wednesday, September 3, 2014 started out as any usual day except that I was scheduled for an appointment with my oncologist. The alarm rang and I rolled out of bed. After a quick shower, breakfast and bottle feeding our two little goats, I made sure that my 16 year old son was out of bed and getting ready for school before I hopped into the truck for the drive into the Tom Baker for my appointment. During the morning rush, I did take time to talk to God. And part of my morning prayers included the following request ....
"Dear Heavenly Father, Please, bless Dr. P. and give him the wisdom to know the best treatment plan for me...."
I parked and walked across the street to the Tom Baker. As I approached the back door entrance, I spotted Dr. P. darting to the door. He held the door open for me, I entered the building and turned to take the shortcut up the stairs. Dr. P. followed. He said something about being late and I thought to myself this means that I better pick up the pace. So I trotted up the stairs to the second floor. He kept pace behind me and mentioned as he went by on his way to the third floor that it was nice to see me skipping up the stairs. I had just raced my medical oncologist up the stairs and I think I won! :) Being drug free sure suits me.
Later at my appointment with Dr. P., he was going over my last test results and then started talking about the new drug and the not so nice side effects when suddenly he got up and said ... "just a minute" and walked out of the room. I sat there nervously thinking about the cancer drugs and hoping for no side effects. When he returned he had in his hand the pathology from my surgery in March which he started to go through ....."Negative, negative, negative ....". He looked up at me and quietly said, "All the test results indicate that you are in remission. And so with your last test results there is no cancer and no need for any drugs." I was stunned! He had said REMISSION! I am in remission! God is good! From my understanding the cancer morphing into a triple negative cancer was actually a good thing.
So here I am in remission and drug free! It is better that I could have wished for. Life is good! God is good! My cup runneth over with gratitude! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
May all glory go to God! I am in his hands and once again he has delivered me.
