Hitting the road to recovery...

... and healing.

As regular readers know, my beloved bride and soul-mate was diagnosed with breast cancer five weeks ago.  Tomorrow morning early, she'll undergo surgery in what will become the first battle necessary in fighting back against that which has declared war on her.

I'm asking those of you who pray, and I know there are many of you, to join the battle.  Pray for her to be as strong as she's been for the last 5 weeks.  Pray for her surgeons.  Pray for her anesthetist.  Pray for those charged with her care.  Pray that God will reveal Himself to her throughout the coming days.  Pray for complete healing.

And pray that I too will be strong for her, that I will be guided by Him to be what she needs, that I can do that which is necessary and not do that which is unhelpful.

We both thank you.

Very much.

Mother Mary, pray for us.

Rom 8:11 "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you."

We have been praying to Yahweh Rapha for His quickening power in your dear one.

Prayers up from Georgia Rick. God knows and hears and will be beside both of you.

Prayers and love to you and your bride, Rick. I hope it helps to know that there are many of us gals who have gone through this and we came through fine. At the time it's scary, but for those of us fortunate enough to have loving and caring families, we come through to a better life. There are miracles and I'm one of them.
God bless you and your family!

Of course, brother. Our prayers are with her, and you.

My (widow) sister (63) was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in 2008. I live a distance away, but was visiting when she got the news. I cancelled my flight and stayed with her while she was operated on and went through radiation therapy. I finally left after her surgeon said she was on the mend and the prognoses was good. She still has 6-month checks now, but is as fit as a fiddle.

In November 2010 my wife (54) was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. It was a rough winter travelling back and forth to the hospital in snow. She had her operation and radiation therapy and is currently on the road to recovery. She's back to work and her oncologist said her prognosis is excellent.

I just want to let you know modern medicine is wonderful. People who would have succumed to this dreaded disease 20 years ago now have the opportunity to live long healthy lives.

My sister, wife and I will keep you and your bride in our prayers.

Guessing that the near future is being handled. let me look a little farther ahead and pass along some thing we learned, gosh, was it ten years ago!?!??.

Soon after the surgery (too soon you will both think) your wife will be placed (I hope) in the care of a physical therapist whom you will come to regard as a physical terrorist.

But if the therapist is competent, and your wife is diligent and you and the others around her are supportive, she will see that the pain (I'll not try to convince you otherwise, some of the exercises will hurt) was worth it when she compares her progress with people who were not so diligent.
