Timely topic. Also, my mom fought off ovarian cancer twice, with the usual surgery/chemo and diet/juicing. She said you can’t eat 5 pounds of carrots a day when you’ve no appetite, but you can drink the juice from them quite easily. Also other fruit and vegetables.No added sugar, though. First time, her doctor expected her to die, and was very surprised she didn’t. This was 1994, five-year survival rate was about 10% IIRC. Second time, five years later, no surgery, just chemo and diet/juicing. The third time, she didn’t fight it, and didn’t tell us until it was too late, but she still lived ten years from the first diagnosis. You can do better. Prayers up, as well. They also help!

Sorry to hear of your diagnosis. My father was a 22 year survivor of throat cancer. He was diagnosed back in 1988 and made it to 2010.

I won’t lie and say it was easy, he had a few rough spots over the years but he kept his sense of humor and did his best to live life.

I would imagine the cancer treatments are much improved from over 30 years ago. So we will keep you in the prayers for an outstanding outcome.

And as this is Superbowl Sunday, may the old Dallas Texans ride on to victory!

Best Regards

We all need to repent daily. As John the Baptist taught,

"The kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."

To pray effectively, we pray believing, not having anxiety about God's will to do us good.
