Dear God, Place your mighty hand on my medical team. Let them seek your way and your wisdom in all things regarding the people they treat.

Thank you Elvin for openly sharing your past cancer struggles: a Stage 4 diagnosis, difficult surgery, mysterious heart battles, lifesaving blood transfusions, and even the challenges of your faith at these frightening times.

When I showed her the lump on my neck, I could tell by the look on her face that something was seriously wrong. The next week brought a whirlwind of doctor’s appointments, ultrasounds, CT scans and even a PET scan. Then on July 7th, a doctor said those three horrible words that you think you will never hear. “You have cancer.”
