I feel that those diagnoses and those pathology reports are nothing but Senacherib's letter. Carried it into Your temple and laid it before You where he said, "Lord, this is what Your enemy is saying he is going to do to Your people." I feel like that. Hezekiah tore his clothes and then brought that letter before You. Senacherib, King of Syria, sent a letter, which said, in short, I have defeated every other kingdom on earth and I'm am going to do to you what I've done to all them. This whole thing reminds me of Senacherib marching on Jerusalem while Your servant Hezekiah was King. Lord, this is my dad we're talking about. When the report did come in, we heart words like, 'lymphovascular invasion is present.' Meaning? 'The margins aren't clear,' ' we need to go back in and remove all of it,' and 'this surgery will be much longer.' 'High rate of complications.' 'Very aggressive disease.' 'Suggest chemo prior to surgery for improved mortality.' 'Recovery 8-10 weeks.' Followed by, 'You'll require a bag for the rest of your life but we'll show you how to use it and it doesn't really leak much - except at night.' They followed all that with a bit of a pause, 'Even if we do all this, there is still the chance that.' ![]() ![]() First, it was bloody urine, then a hurry-up surgery, a doctor in the recovery saying, 'the tumor was much larger than we thought.' Then a long quiet week waiting on pathology. Lord, I know I'm not telling You anything You don't already know but the last few weeks have been tough. ![]()
