On Wednesday, September 20, we received the news that Debbie has Ovarian Cancer. This diagnosis was made through an ultrasound and a CAT scan.
It appears that the cancer has spread into her abdomen area but not into her major organs. Our doctor says that it appears that it can be surgically removed. But because it has already spread from the ovaries, he is very concerned that it may develop somewhere else in her body after the surgery.
We see a surgeon Tuesday, September 26, and it appears Debbie will have surgery this week.
This came as a great surprise to us all since Debbie has appeared to be very healthy. She only went to the doctor because of the sudden onset of pain in her abdomen and a fever. We thought she had picked up a parasite on her recent trip to Africa.
Debbie has experienced remarkable peace which only comes to one who walks so close to the Lord. There have been many tears but God's peace is there. Debbie spoke to the church this past Sunday and we all felt the grace of God as she shared. She was then anointed with oil and the church leaders and the church prayed for her.
We are praying that the Lord will be merciful to us all and heal my precisous wife. Please pray for God's peace for the children and me. And please pray for wisdom as we are faced with various medical decisions.
