Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life!

Philippians 4:6, “Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.”

Mom

Well, my dear mother was having some issues so her dr. recommended that she get a colonoscopy.  My mom just turned 51 so having one of these procedures is pretty routine for anyone over 50.   They did find a polyp, which they removed.   We didn’t think anything of it as she had some removed when she was younger, (in her 20s).

Wednesday, the dr. called back telling her to come back in with a family member, (usually that means bad news).   My dad took my mom to the dr.  and the dr. informed that the polyp was cancerous with an invasive sort of cancer.   It was devastating news, and I cried most of the day yesterday and prayed very hard.   When I think of cancer I think of the worst case scenerio, which is death.    But God is so good… He has given us all a peace about it.

The next day after the diagnosis, which was last Thursday Mom was able to go in for a ct scan (to determine if the cancer had spread) and when that was over was able to get the results in a matter of hours.  (Another blessing from the Lord- it would have been so hard to wait over the weekend).     It hasn’t spread!  Praise God- we are now praying that nothing more needs to be done, that the cancer was removed in the removal of the polyp, no more surgery, chemo/radiation.
