This Saturday is the one year anniversary of my double mastectomy and the beginning of cancer treatments. I am recovering well from my final surgery, just extremely tired and still having some pain.
But we have been dealt another blow - my dad was diagnosed last Thursday with esophagial cancer. He has several scans tomorrow - Monday - to see if the cancer has spread - please pray for containment to the esophagus. Wednesday the doctors will present my parents with the game plan. They are discussing chemo and radiation first to shrink the tumor before surgery. My dad's lungs are compromised by emphysema (former smoker), so that is also a concern for the surgery. I will keep you posted. I am hurting so much for my dad - I almost feel like I am getting ready to go through it all again.
I did not post this earlier because my niece got married yesterday, and her parents asked that no one tell her until she returns from her honeymoon.
Thanks for prayers,
Jan
My son, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings. Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh. Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life. Proverbs 4:20-23
