I’m afraid that’s what it’s going to be coming to. But if it were like that now I wouldn’t be here. I’d be dead.

I lost 1/4 of my left lung but March 9th 2009 made me a three year lung cancer survivor. If I hadn’t believed in God’s miracles I wouldn’t be here. I would have just given up and died three years ago.

But because I do believe, I didn’t just give up lay down and die. And thanks to the good Lord, my surgeon Dr. Ross and the other Dr.’s and nurses at the Ohio State University James Cancer Hospital, I’m here today as proof that miracles do happen.

Praise the Lord! My mom lost her entire left lung. At least you have some left, which helps greatly with lung capacity.

I think believers have hope that God has work for them and that’s why we hang on and fight but I also believe that when we’ve lived a good life, we can sometimes let God be in control of that. It has a lot to do with one’s age. I mean would we want to do months of chemo and radiation on a 98 year old? Would they want it? They don’t even perform hip/knee replacements on you once you hit a certain age because you likely won’t survive the surgery. Older people usually have many medical problems that often complicate any medical procedures.
