I have internet again... for now. For those of you that read my post earlier... when I went to the doctors office to get my biopsy results... I thought I was fairly prepared mentally and emotionally. When the doctor told me that I had prostate cancer... I was not surprised... the doctor said most people he has to give that news to go immediately into shock. I had been researching prostate cancer and found that in almost all cases of prostate cancer that is was generally slow growing. I told the doctor that since I read that... that I saw no reason to freak out over the news he had just gave me. The doctor said that was true... and that they just keep an eye on most peoples prostate cancer as it does not generally does not create a life threatening hazard for a long time... if ever. BUT... the cancer that the enemy is trying to attack me with is very aggressive. And at the rate it had already grown and that he believes there is a 50% chance that it has spread beyond my prostate. All I said at that point was OK. He looked at me and asked if I really understood what he just told me. I told him that I did and basically repeated it back to him. He told me that he did not understand how I could be so calm about it and that most people break down that find out their cancer is aggressive. This was my response, I have faith that God is allowing this to happen just to prepare another testimony for me to share and give Him all the glory. You are a doctor and God uses to help His children... but God is the only true Healer. It is in Him that I have faith. It is for Him that I live. No day that we live is promised to us and I know where I will be if God does not heal me. All in all... I see it as a win-win situation. The doctor sat there... his mouth had dropped open... and he was speechless for awhile. He told me that he did believe in God but had never met a patient that accepted this with the faith that I had. I just told him, This is not about me. This is about God. I am thankful to Him in all things and I will not fear anything the enemy tries to throw at me. He said that he wanted me to call him and arrange a time for us to talk away from his office. I told him we could do that. He told me that he wanted to learn the faith I had. I told him we could work up to that... but we probably need to discuss a few others things as well. I left and got in my car and realized that God has used that moment for me to plant seed. I sat in my car and cried... and I promise it was not because of the news I had just received. :) God bless you! BE BRIGHT AND SALTY!
