Getting a diagnosis of cancer is probably one of the most devastating things a person has the experience. I can only imagine what a person who has heard the words: "You have cancer." They must feel, but this does not mean you can not sympathize with the situation and say I love you.

Have you read all the time about people who tell you how to deal with cancer and what their treatment options, so I have no intention of doing so. What I will do is tell themYou are in my heart and in my mind, and I promise to say a prayer for you every day would be strengthened by this journey you are.

My father, Willie, was having some problems with the stomach to the end of last year. The doctors believed there was a blockage in the intestine, so they decided to do surgery to see what I could find. Well, they found something, and what they found was not promising. Dad had a cancerous tumor that was blocking his colon.

I vividly remember meetingin the waiting room during surgery and the doctor leaves, stone, and I stood up. We expected to hear that his speech had gone well and the block was removed. Dr. Ward looked us straight in the eye and said, "that is cancer. We" My stepmother immediately began to mourn, but not me.

If there's one thing I know, I know that God is able. And as if this were not enough, I know my father is a soldier. Immediately I thought if anyone couldfor diagnosis and the pace certainly was him. We affectionately call "The Bull" for his rugged looks and tough, but inside he's just a sweet little pony. (Smile)

I can not say that my heart does not skip a beat when the doctor gave us the news, but I can tell you some things that ground me in that instance. First, my faith. So my love for my father and his enthusiasm for life.

I was not disappointed because I asked the doctor: "So what's next?" He said: "Well, I have takenall this, and seems to have been extended. But we can not know for sure until we receive the test took us back to the lymph nodes in the surrounding area. This may take a week. "Then he told us dad was well from the surgery and was recovering.

I'm happy to tell the story of Thomas ends well. The cancer had not spread, and he would be fine. But he had his stomach does not bother you, probably would not have known that the cancer was alive and wellyour body until it was too late.

I know the story does not end and all yours. And do not say that to make you feel bad if your experience is not looking for how it will end well. What I offer is hope. The hope and belief that even if the costs of cancer your life, what other good things can come out of it as something like this to pull families together and welds.

So if you are living with cancer or experienced as I, through a loved one, aThe diagnosis should not be the final. Everything happens for a reason. Whatever season it is with this disease, please know that my heart is with you.

And please also know that it hurt and pain because I for my father to yours. My prayer is that you will find a remedy to prevent this disease once and for all. But until it is discovered, the courage that someone out there loves you and praying for your account. May God bless you and your family while navigating roughthe waters of a cancer diagnosis. I love you. Be careful.
