Re: Doctor's Appointment today

Gregstein, thank you brother for your prayers.

Here is the UPDATE:

The diagnosis is that the cancer is stage 4 and cannot be cured (well anyway not by man's means, but God can cure cancer if He so chooses be it here or when I go home to Him).

Chemo would not be effective and that is OK with me cause I would not take Chemo anyway.

He suggested Estrogen therapy (pills) and Zometa IV to help strengthen the bones so they will be stronger and keep them from fractures should the cancer attack the bones. I am familiar with this form of therapy as my Mom had this type of treatment.

I have to have an Ultra Sound and needle biopsy of the right Thyroid next week as there is a nodule there. The Doctor said the Ultra Sound would show if it is a soft or hard nodule and I forgot which one he said would not need to be biopsied as it would indicate non-cancerous.

I really should have paid more attention, but when he was telling me it was not curable all I could think of was, I am not afraid and I will see Jesus soon.

My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has been such a sustainer to me through all of this. I can feel His Presence as I am so calm and peaceful. He is truly my STRENGTH.

There have been tears, but they are not tears of dispair, they are tears of "gratefulness" and "thanksgiving" for what He has done for me the past 25 years since I gave my life to Jesus. I trust so fully in Him for all things in my life.

I am so thankful for this forum where I can fellowship with like minded believers. Where we can share our needs and our joys.

I know I don't post a lot, but I read a lot. In real life I am a quiet person, I have alway been a bookworm , but I sure learn a lot reading

My Lord knows the number of my days on this earth, no one else does, and when He calls me home, I pray I will be so ready because I am "so longing to see Jesus".

I also had a rapture dream years ago and have looked for Him since April 1983, so maybe we will all go home together . That would be nice

I hope I have expressed my feelings so that you all understand. I love Jesus so very, very much and I want so very much to convey how much I love Him and how He is so true to His Word when He says He will never leave us nor forsake us.

In Christ Jesus,
Dove

Re: Doctor's Appointment today

Oh Dove, I just now read this. So sorry for what you're going thru physically, but also so thankful you have that inner peace & rest in the Lord to cling to thru whatever may come. God is with you and will strengthen you. And yes, you are in HIS hands and HIS will regardless the diagnosis. He will sustain you and strengthen your faith as well. You said it so perfectly about how you will have healing from the Lord whether now or in heaven - that is HIS promise we can all rely on.

Let yourself go thru the range of feelings and know it's normal. And overall, you still end up back in the same place - resting in Him as He draws you ever nearer to Him.

Hang in there & keep the faith. And yes, being raptured all together would be so awesome! Keep us updated dear one. You have such a sweet faith that is precious to read about in your posts. HUGS of comfort coming your way....

Psalm 4:3 Know that the Lord Has set apart the godly
for Himself; the Lord will hear when I call to Him.

Psalm 9:10 Those who know Your name
will trust in You,
For You, LORD, have never forsaken
those who seek You.

Philippians 3:20-21 But our citizenship is in heaven.
And we eagerly await a Savior from there,
the Lord Jesus Christ,
who by the power that enables Him
to bring everything under His control,
will transform our lowly bodies
so that they will be like His glorious body.

Faith, thank you for your words of encouragement and your prayers and especially a big thank your for the Scriptures you shared. They are such an encouragement.

My faith is growing as I go through this valley. The Lord is truly walking with me as I can feel His prescence and His peace.

Please, just keep me in your prayers. Pray for me to let God's light shine through me so that those I come in contact with will see Jesus in me. Pray for God to give me boldness to witness and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the lost.

The lost need Faith and Faith comes by hearing, hearing the Word of God that leads unto Salvation by Jesus Christ.

God Bless you and yours.

In Christ Jesus,
Dove
