With regret, You’re a veteran at this now. But, I remember after my diagnosis while in the hospital how much faith I had in my doctors. I felt like a patient in ‘House’ or something the way they came in groups. They were so amazing. They said I responded in the top 2%. I don’t know what causes some to respond and others not. This disease, cancer, causes so much havoc. It truly turns lives upside down in every aspect. So, know that even when you don’t feel it, even on days that you can’t pray, others are carrying those prayers for you. Christ is not going to forget because you feel discouraged. He is there and will carry both of you everyday. Just as you would never forget your own child and what he is going through. You are his, always.
Thank you so much for stating the reality without "extra sprinkles". I have many praying for me and sometimes I get a little emotionally overwhelmed and have to take a breath and allow them to pray for me.
On the day of the surgery, I will pray with my wife and remind us that I am always in His hands and to pray that for a short while He also carries the medical team along with me.. Hoping to have an "endearing quip of my love for my wife on my lips as I come to in recovery and see her face....it will help relax her from being so long in "rock" mode.
God Bless
