So Gam went to the oncologist today for more tests. They have concluded that she has Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, which is a rapid-moving cancer. Chemo will start July 14th and she will have to go once a week for 18 weeks and then once every three weeks for a year. There were two other things she would have to take every three weeks for 18 weeks also, I didn't really read a whole lot about it. The downside is, I guess because of her age, previous heart problems and the aggressiveness of the treatment, it could cause heart failure.
This scripture is something God has been constantly bringing to me lately. Sometimes I feel like He yells it to me, like He's saying "helloooo, did this verse magically disappear from your Bible this morning or what?!" and other times it's like He puts His arm around me and speaks softly as a parent would do for a frightened child.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. -Joshua 1:9
You will not know until you get to heaven how much God has been by your side. He guides us when we think we know where we are going. He spares us from bad things when we don't even know they are around. He clears the path for us to go where he wants us to go. And he shows us how to be strong when we don't know how.
