Sheila Races (Walks) For The Cure

Sheila was up at 5:30 this morning getting ready to make the Race for the Cure. This is the second time she has done the race and the first since her breast cancer surgery. Thank God for His providence and for the skill and wisdom of people like Dr. Lynette Smith, Sheila's breast surgeon, and Dr. Charles W. Taylor her oncologist.

It is hard to explain what being the family member of a cancer survivor is like. The experience is one that you sincerely hope that no one else ever has to endure. The agonizing waits on test results, the fear, the bargaining with God and the disease, the hope and the terror.

It has been three years now since Sheila's radical mastectomy. There have been two serious scares both of which turned out to be non-malignant. Sheila is healthy and strong now and I praise God for that every day of my life.
