Prayers for my wife
Posted: Fri Nov 23, 2012 10:59 pm
I'm a very private person. I don't usually reach out beyond close family and friends. But carlson1's request for prayers for his wife made me realize that I should have posted this long ago. We don't need anyone's sympathy, but we believe deeply in the power of prayer and have already seen its results.
My wife was diagnosed earlier this year with uterine cancer. By an odd "coincidence" (we don't believe in coincidences) she fell and broke two toes shortly before the scheduled surgery date. The surgery had to be postponed. This prompted her to take care of her annual mammogram, which she had put off for too long. To our utter surprise and shock, she was diagnosed with breast cancer as well. Thus began a series of doctor's appointments and a flurry of internet research to get up to speed.
She has since had a total hysterectomy, and the doctor's have declared her uterine cancer free. No chemotherapy or radiation is indicated.
The breast tumor was only 7mm, so we feel very positive about the outcome of that battle as well.
If you would add her to your prayer list, we would be most grateful and thankful. The Bible says that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much and that God works everything for the good for those who love Him. As old-fashioned as that may seem to some, we truly believe it.
