Another Sunday. Today, I teach my class. The Nobleman who believed Christ could heal his son from long distance. "Just say the word."
Wait on the Lord: be of courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord."
Psalm 27:14
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Isaiah 43:2

I have an appointment at S----- on March 12, next Friday. It's hard waiting. My prayers have become praise songs that pop into my head at the right moment. I just thank God for His goodness, for clarity to enjoy every moment with J and the kids.

Appointment with Dr. R today. She verified everything we already knew. My cancer is endocervical. I am being referred to Dr. M, head of Gynecological Oncology at S----. I might as well be seen by the best.

"On our way to church. I hope my choice of non-waterproof mascara doesn't prove to be a mistake.
Just holding my daddy's hand."
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Jeremiah 33:3
Just holding my daddy's hand."
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble;
Psalm 31:7
"Two days ago, I found out I have cancer."
(Probably the scariest first sentence I've ever written, not to mention starting a new journal with it.)
"Two weeks ago, I went in for my annual exam. I mentioned some spotting. I was scheduled to come back for a colposcopy, which included a biopsy of the 'large growth' located on my cervix."
(That 'large growth' turned out to be about 2 cm. NP's need to be very careful how they word things.)
"On that visit (2/19), I was told I would be referred to a gynecologist who may want to do an immediate hysterectomy. Now I know where the word 'hysterics' comes from. That was Thursday. BW and PD had me get a copy of my lab results. Even though I had no appetite, I felt upbeat. Upbeat through all the phone calls, text messages, etc. I called J first, and he surprised me by coming straight home. He said he thought I might need a hug."
(This was just the beginning of what would become a relational revolution for us.)
"Thursday night, I lost it. I started thinking, 'what if'. Exactly two weeks earlier, I was thinking, 'They'll remove the polyp, and I'll take antibiotics for an infection.' Now I was in full-fledged fear for my life. I was letting my imagination run away with me. I called JB. I knew she was the one I needed to talk to. I felt a little better and much calmer after our teary conversation.
That night, I woke up drenched in sweat. Friday, I ran into JR at J2's doctor appointment. Of course we take our kids to the same doctor! I realized my prayer life definitely needed to step it up.
I knew right where my 'God's Promises' book was in my closet. So i went to it constantly during my day.
I got connected with a woman who is friends with NH! She is the first person I've come into contact with that has had exactly what I've been diagnosed with. She has already been through all of this, and I can ask her about anything. I thank God that He brought her along - the friend of a friend! - when I felt no one could help me understand!"
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Jeremiah 17:14
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord;
Jeremiah 30:17

Welcome to My Cancer Journey
I write this blog as a way to share, enlighten, and hopefully encourage those who read it.
For my family and friends who were with me physically and spiritually, I share with you some of my feelings and revelations that God led me through as I travelled this road. For those who may be experiencing cervical or pelvic cancers, I share this with you as an encouragement and an "I went through that too!" for you. I hope that you will be blessed as I reflect on this journey from the beginning.
I pray that God's glory will shine through my words.
He calls me precious and beloved,
KT
