Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! -- 2 Corinthians 9:15
This has become our life verse and often our family often relies upon this verse to describe the relationship we have with so many situations in our lives. Our miracle child and family, our church, school, neighborhood, and now again, the designation of “cancer survivor”. What sweet words to hear today as we received the results of the scans I had last week.
We were told by our oncologist, Dr. Mark Socinski, that the reports indicate “no evidence of disease”, with “evidence of radiation” therapy still active in my lungs and doing its job. We will follow up with another CT scan in 4 months, then x-rays every 2 months. After that, we will follow up as needed, based on my individual circumstances at the time, for 5 years, then I will be considered cancer free. He both opens and concludes that my “CT looks wonderful!” Again, sweet words that we know are the direct result of Divine Intervention -- requested by so many of you with prayers on our behalf.
How do we thank you? There simply is no way, other than to say “Thank You” and hope that each of you somehow gets a tiny glimpse into each of our hearts to see how truly grateful we are for each of you and your role in this process.
This treatment plan has not been easy and we knew that going in. At times it has seemed insurmountable. But we have seen God’s hand at many turns and He has seen us through many, many times of difficulty. We still have lots of work ahead of us in terms of recovery – weight issues, strength issues, medication issues – but we know where to go each and every time we need assistance. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we go forward in this ongoing process.
Thank you for helping us get here. And of course, the ultimate thanks goes to God. What a truly indescribable gift!
Kay and family
