(I decide to re-post my original post, and simply post updates as they occur, sorry if this causes any confusion….)
Update … I got the pathology report and it was worse than we expected. I have been diagnosed with Grade 4 Brain Cancer or Glioblastoma. This is the most aggressive and has a low survival rate. The doctor states that my young age is going to make a big difference, but we have to get on the ball and start treating very aggressively. After talking to my Doctor, I hung up the phone and called Kandi, telling her the dismal news and then prayed to God, asking for a miracle. Within 1 hour, Kandi was home from work with news about the Cancer Center of America in Tulsa, Oklahoma that has a great survival rate. Not only do they excel in cancer treatment; they tend to the spirit and peace of mind by providing transportation, room and meals. And the blessing in the whole thing is I am 100% covered under my insurance. God supernaturally delivered my miracle when I asked. I witness God at work everyday.

Bill I know your strength and comfort is coming from the Father. Just imagine having to go thru this without Him. How afraid and lonely you would be. Keep filling your mind with scripture, praise and worship and you can be assured that He will do miraculous things in your life and the lives of others thru you. Love you Pam
ReplyDeleteHi Bill - I am so excited about this Blog! AND really excited that I figured out how to join! LOL - It is a wonderful way for us all to take this journey with you and Kandi! Yours and Kandi's strength and courage is such an inspiration to so many! Know that you are both SO loved! And that there are so many people praying for you from one end of this country to the other!

ReplyDeleteHi Bill, I am a friend of Debbie Miller. God will be with you and all of your friends and family. I read my Dad a book that made a big difference in his treatment. It was called the Cancer Conqueror. You control the cancer it doesn't control you. Our prayers are with you and your family!! Love, Nancy Frey Thayer

ReplyDeleteUpdate as of Thursday, August 26th….. I met with my radiation oncologist today, to discuss my radiation treatment. They made a plastic cast of my face that will be used during the procedure to lock my head in place so they can use concentrated beams of radiation to target the area where the tumor was before the surgery. They, the oncologist and his assistant, are big fans of Dr Freidman’s at Duke University, and my doctor, Dr Cline actually knows him on a first name basis. They reinforced that we were making a good decision in seeking his expertise. God keeps putting people in my path to make this journey easier. My faith grows stronger and stronger every day. I have 34 treatments to go through (5 days a week, every day for almost 7 full weeks), I will probably lose a little hair in about 5-7 spots around my head from the concentrated beams of radiation, but it is worth it. They are very confident that this is going to give me my life back, with very little nausea or weakness.
