Good news in the midst of trial
I just got some incredible news....
A few months ago, my brother's best friend (who's only 17) was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma (= a type of cancer), in the form of a huge mass leaning against his windpipe. They did surgery but when they got there they saw where it was and wouldn't touch it. So, for the past few months he's been on chemo. He lost like 30 pounds and it drained all his energy. I've been busy this summer and didn't go home much so I didn't really see him in that condition. Well, I just heard that the mass is completely gone and all that's left is scar tissue. They'll get rid of that with radiation. Sooo, no more chemo and no more cancer!!!!!! God is so amazing!!!
I went home this past weekend and he was there, doing work at our house! Helping my dad and brother in the yard. He got really tired but still had his same huge smile on his face. He's such an incredible kid and God is so amazing- just a few months later everything is all gone.
So, I just wanted to share my news and say PRAISE GOD!!!!!

it can take you by surprise can't it. cancer. it's so surreal and intangible. people worry about it even when there are no symptoms or signs. it's invisible to our naked eye yet can completely take over our psyche. but it is one of the few diseses that eventually has visible effects on our bodies. tumors and such. the treatments are usually extreme and long. I've had friends that either have or had it. it's truely a marvel of this world.
I must admit, I don't know how I would react if i got it. I think I would be terrified. I have no med. insurrance so I would have to pay everything myself. and I never want to put on my dad a burden so big, financially. Plus the whole suffering thing....I'm not a good sufferer, I complain a lot and get angry.
this should be a blog.
I am very happy for you and your friend!! That is deffinetely a "good on ya" to God! :) Meaning praise Him.
"Good on ya to God"... funny-- I like it!!!
