Re: My wife needs some prayers
My prayers for your wife, for you and for your family.
My wife is four years cancer-free, after a very difficult fight; she is the bravest, most tenacious person I've ever met.
Her relationship with Jesus grew exponentially during that fight, and continues to grow.
It's a hard row to hoe, Dale, and with your faith, you'll put your hands to the plow and not look back.
God bless you..!!

Re: My wife needs some prayers
Thank you guys for the continued prayers! I appreciate your prayers and the strength they they bring to me.
We have an appointment set with Alyson's surgeon for Wednesday May 5th. For some reason his office called today and said the doctor decided to move it up a week so we have what's a surgeon Wednesday afternoon. I don't know why they decided to move the appointment up a week, it could have just been a convenience thing for their scheduling as far as I know.
Nevertheless, your prayers are definitely needed and appreciated!.
God bless you all!

Re: My wife needs some prayers
Extra prayers appreciated this evening. We are at our
veterinarians, we have to put Alyson's dog down today. Sami is a 14-1/2 year old Lhasa Apso. Her heart is filling with fluid and she is in a lot of pain and we don't want her to suffer.
We are at the vet's office now.
Thanks guys, the Lord will get us through this.

Re: My wife needs some prayers
Oh Dale and Alyson - I’m heartbroken with you tonight. I believe that God will give you both all the grace you need in every situation you currently face. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 says So to keep me from being too elated by the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
You are both in my daily prayers. Tom

Re: My wife needs some prayers
UPDATE: 4/29/21
After meeting with the surgeon yesterday we have a better idea of what the entire process will entail and what are some of the possible options that may be necessary depending on what they discover in the surgery.
Alyson had stage 2 invasive duct carcinoma.
The surgery will be scheduled when the breast surgery and plastic surgery teams can synchronize their schedules.
During the surgery the doctor will remove a couple lymph nodes and those will be biopsied while she (lady doctor) removes the cancer. If the lymph nodes are malignant she will remove them while she is still on the operating table. If that is the case the surgery could last 5 or 6 hours.
It will likely be towards the end of May before the surgery.
We may go visit our granddaughter in AZ before the surgery, at least that is what Alyson wanted to do.
Your prayers are greatly appreciated!!
Also please keep our granddaughter in your prayers, she is having difficulties with her pregnancy.
Thank you all!

Re: My wife needs some prayers
As some of you may have experienced before medical procedures are often a waiting game, especially when the situation is not emergent and no one's bleeding on the doctor's floor.
Today we finally had a breakthrough and received a date for Alyson surgery. They have set the date for June 3rd. At this point I don't know a great deal more than that. From our earlier conversation with the surgeon they will do a biopsy on the lymph nodes as she begins the surgery, the lab will run the biopsies and get back to the surgeon before she is finished with the surgery. The lymph nodes have been invaded by the cancer then the doctor will remove those before closing with the surgery. Surgery can last about 6 hours if they have to do both the mastectomy and remove the lymph nodes.
Alyson is doing pretty good and is in good spirits. We had a great service at church yesterday, and a couple ladies prayed for her, at least one of which was a breast cancer survivor. It's good for her to have the support of loving Christian women around her. There's only so much about something like that that I can understand as a man. It is as important for women to have women friends as it is for men to have men friends. The Lord has certainly blessed us in the church home that we have with a lot of very loving people.
It is still a mystery to me as to why God wants us to pray, but we know that is what we're supposed to do from the scripture. It's pretty amazing that the creator of the universe wants our input on what He is doing.
Please continue to pray for Alyson, that there would be no involvement of the lymph nodes this cancer and that the surgery would go very smoothly and that the Lord would give the surgeons skills beyond their experience and education and that the Lord would give the surgeons and and their teams knowledge beyond their education and skills beyond their experience, and that the surgery would get all of the cancer. I believe the Lord is perfectly capable of healing her without surgery. It is definitely established that she has breast cancer, the biopsies or definite that it is cancer. I believe that God can cure that cancer. So Lord, for your glory, I ask that you would heal Alyson cancer miraculously as only you can. I pray when the doctors begin the surgery they were find the cancer is gone.
If it's not gone Lord I will still give you the glory, I know you were still in charge, you are the Great Physician!
I know we do not see clearly into the spiritual Realm, as Paul said "We see through a glass darkly, but then we shall see face to face: for now I know in part;; but then I shall know what you even as I am known." I Corinthians 13:12
I may not know exactly what God has planned far as the outcome of Alyson's surgery goes, but I am confident that He will heal her, in His timing. Amen!

Re: My wife needs some prayers
Prayers offered for both of you.
Re: My wife needs some prayers
Dale, the late theologian and pastor R.C. Sprout said that one of the hardest questions he was ever asked as a young seminarian was in Dr. John Gerstner’s class. Dr. Gerstner asked them. “If God is sovereign, if God has decreed from eternity then things that come to pass, if he knows what we have need of before we ask, then why pray?” He said they all shuffled their feet and looked at the ground humming and hawing. Finally R.C. spoke up and said, “I’m sure this is wrong, but it seems to me we ought to pray because God said so.”
R.C. said Dr. Gerstner let out a huge laugh and told them that’s the exact reason we are to pray, God said so period.
God’s sovereignty and our need to pray may look like parallel lines, but I can assure you they cross at the throne of God in ways that we cannot now see. If nothing else, prayer changes me and my will, just like Jesus taught us in the Lord’s Prayer, “thy will be done.”
