Many of you have been praying with us regarding the news we received that Mark had Prostate Cancer. During his testing to get ready for radiation treatment to address this cancer, they found a spot on his back. Yesterday, he had a spinal biopsy on this spot to see if it was cancer as the doctors were very concerned that it could be.
We got the results today and he DOES NOT have cancer in his back...we are truly grateful for this news. He can now begin the radiation therapy to treat the prostate cancer. They caught it early and feel this treatment he will go through will get it all....we are praying for this.
We appreciate all your notes, calls, emails, facebook messages and texts to let us know you were praying with us...it is humbling. Even as they announced the good news at our church tonight, there were two men in the audience who have terminal cancer so though you are glad for your news...it still makes us feel so humbled because we feel their pain. Each of us have our journey with God and even if Mark would have had cancer in his back, we would have to praise HIM. We deserve nothing, but are thankful for all we get and are allowed to experience on this path.
We still need your prayers as Mark has a road before him with the radiation treatments for the prostate cancer. They should begin on December 22nd. We are ready to get that all started and will keep you updated with the progress. Feel free to share our news/story with those you know who will pray. We have a world map with all the places marked where we have friends and family praying for us...what a wonderful visual on depressing days...just looking at it cheers you up!!
Thanks again for your love, care and prayers on our behalf...keep it up, I swear, we have the biggest prayer group ever!! And the best people in it!
Cathy and Mark
