We made this quilt for our friend Sharon who has been diagnosed with breast cancer and recently had surgery. We prayed for healing for her, and comfort for her and Alvin as they face the results of the testing and the next steps in the process. Sharon has developed a wonderful relationship with her surgeon. She also loves Jesus; we prayed that they can Lean on Jesus for support.
Dear family & friends: On October 18th I went to the oncologist. She
was very thorough in explaining things to me. She said "Sharon, I want
you to know that as of now you have no cancer. You carry a red flag as
our marker to indicate to us that you are a high risk candidate. I want
you to go home and enjoy your life to the fullest."
I went to my surgeon on October 21st and he was satisfied with how
things were progressing . I asked him many questions and he told me
what the oncologist had said about the red flag as their marker. If I
have any indication that something doesn't seem right I am to call the
surgeon immediately. I have an appointment with the surgeon in 6 months
and will continue to see him every 6 months in the future.
From the bottom of my heart I want to say THANK YOU although that seems
so inadequate. You have been so faithful in praying for me; sending
e-mails; sending cards; sending scripture verses; phone calls & hugs.
In one of the first e-mails that I sent I stated that I knew that God
had chosen the surgeon and now also the oncologist. It has been 3
months in which I have learned to enjoy each new day and to depend on
God for my daily strength because He is always there for me. As a
portion of the song "BECAUSE HE LIVES" says 'But still the calm
assurance: This child can face uncertain days because Christ lives.
Because He lives I can face tomorrow.' Sharon
