Debbie is recovering well from the surgery. This morning they removed the draining tube from her nose to her stomach. She can drink liquids now. She is very peaceful and very strong in the Lord.
The surgeon did a complete hysterectomy, removed her omentum, and lymph nodes. What cancer remains is what is in her lungs and some spots on her bowel that are all very small. By next Monday, we will receive the results of the lab tests and know specifically the kind of cancer. The doctors will then develop a protocol to fight the disease. Different cancers respond differently to chemotherapy. We will meet with the doctors in two weeks to discuss their protocol.
Debbie is under the supervision of Dr. Sandra Bailey for her nutritional needs. Sandra’s plan includes a very specific diet to fight cancer and organic supplements that come from whole foods. Sandra calls Debbie a very good patient. Debbie is very disciplined and she has felt a great sense of well being sense she started receiving Sandra’s treatment.
The surgery lasted only two hours and fifteen minutes. We were anticipating four to five hours. When I asked the doctor why the surgery was so short, he said, “Because it went so well.” This was certainly an answer to our prayers for the “perfect surgery”.
We are now praying for the perfect treatment plan for Debbie. Please pray that the Lord will show us His perfect will for Debbie.
We are still asking the Lord for divine healing. But we consider all healing to be from the Lord. We are rejoicing that the surgery was such a success. It feels like we just won a battle in a war that is still raging. Please pray for God to strengthen our family as we continue the fight.
