And we wait...


My husband, Jim, was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. Jim had an appointment with a surgeon, but no surgery date has been set for his lung removal because that surgeon was called out of town. Later this week Jim will have another appointment with another surgeon. The educated guess is that the surgery will be within ten days. We are both relieved and stressed with this information; glad that the cancer will be removed from his body, but distressed that he has to have such an invasive surgery. Cancer is never good, but we are blessed that Jim’s cancer is no worse than it is. There are so many families that are suffering with so much more. We both appreciate your encouraging words and your prayers. Two phrases often repeated in our home: “It is what it is.” and “We’ll play the cards that are dealt to us.”
