“When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases,…” (Luke 9:1)
Many of you know of my 10 year battle with cancer and how I’ve come close to going to eternity many times. We don’t always know God’s plans, but we who believe put our hope & trust in Him. Recently, I’ve asked many of you to pray more earnestly for me. My recent round of PET scans revealed a spot on my lung that appeared to be growing—rapidly. My doctors were very concerned and feared my current chemo treatment had stopped working. The options before me weren’t positive: 1) I could continue taking the chemo I’m currently on and add another chemo (IV or pills); 2) my doctor would put me on 1 or 2 completely different, stronger chemotherapies; or 3) I could choose to end all treatment and prepare my family and myself for the possibility of death.
Let’s just say, I have spent the last 3 months thoroughly praying about ALL of these options. None of them were appealing to me, so I prayed for a 4th option: that God would take ALL of the cancer away. And why not?! Hasn’t He shown us His power time and time again! My life has been FULL of miracles and I am not about to lose faith now!!
So, I want to tell you that God has EXCEEDED all of my prayers! A week ago, my doctor and her staff couldn’t wait to tell me that the results of my most recent scans showed the cancer to be stable. Yet, when I saw her last Thursday, she went into greater detail. Not only did the scans show that the curious spot that worried us so much in December is not even cancer, further investigation revealed that there are NO signs of cancer in my body at this time!
What does all of this mean?! It means that they cannot find ANY cancer in my chest at this time! We prayed for a miracle and God has delivered me once again!! I keep praying for the impossible and He keeps showing me His power! If you have tried to reach me and couldn’t within the last week or so, it’s because I’ve been out celebrating!
We’re overjoyed and just wanted to share the good news with you. Please continue to pray for me as I endeavor to make the five-year mark. Hopefully, if I continue at this rate, I can come off of at least half of my current chemo dosage within the next 12 – 18 months. And then, who knows! J
Thanks for your prayers, encouragement, love and support! I could not have made it through any of this without my beloved family and friends. We are a testament to God’s glory!
Love,
Janet
