Early in Mike’s journey we discovered a website called Smart Patients. On this site, patients and\/or their families share their journeys with various illnesses. I put Mike’s info on the esophageal cancer board and have followed several patients. This past week, 2 of those men, both in Mike’s age range and both diagnosed after Mike, passed away. They had both received the same treatment Mike has and both failed to respond. I have not been able to shake their stories. Two families are mourning right now while my husband is literally cleaning out our oven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So many times this year, I have asked you to pray with us. Today I am asking you to join me in thanking God for the work He is doing. Mike’s story is not typical and that is only because of God’s mercy and His healing hands. For that, I am humbled and thankful and hopeful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! His faithful love endures forever” (1 Chronicles 16:34). “Praise Him for His mighty works; praise His unequaled greatness!” (Psalms 150:2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
