As a separate post, I wanted to share with you a story Dr. Grothey shared with us today.

He had a patient about five years ago that had stomach cancer with a very poor prognosis. The patient was given the protocol of 5-FU (my first treatment therapy). The patient had a severe reaction to the treatment. His body responded to the therapy as if he had been given a dosage 100 times the amount given. He should have died.

This man was very lucky. He ended up in the hospital for three months in a coma. When he awoke from his coma he had been completely cured. He recently celebrated his fifth year of being cancer free.

I believe Dr. Grothey shared this story with me for a reason. I am holding on to that hope and believing that things happen for a reason….miracles take place every day.

One year ago today, my wife was diagnosed with bile duct cancer that had consumed over 75% of her liver. Today she is miraculously cancer free. To see her story go to www.cindysmiracle.com

Dear Kathy, I wanted to let you know that I continue to follow your blog and every day I uplift you in my healing prayers. I believe in miracles and like you I believe nothing that takes place in our lives is happenstance. You have been an incredible inspiration to me when I was going through treatment for invasive anal cancer. Sending you all my healing thoughts and energy. Shalom, Lily

Prayers to you as you continue on your Journey. Every story of survival. Every single entry on every single blog, shows the strength of the human spirit that God had given us to carry our crosses and follow Him.

Peace of Jesus and healing to you.
Mac

Miracles happen every day. I know it is hard but please try to hang in there and don’t give up. My love, thoughts and prayers are with you every day. Joyce
