We're all in this together!

(Apologies to all our friends with young kids. This blog title could make you break into a song from Disney's "High School Musical! )

One thing that has become apparent to Dave and I the past few weeks is that cancer touches everyone's life. Some are survivors, some are still fighting, some have lost loved ones, some are support to those who are battling. Our family has lost friends, both young and old to this deadly disease. We've heard stories of encouragement and strength. Many have gone through this before us and many will follow. This blog tells the story of our unique journey through a new world of procedures, medical jargon, decisions and difficulties. But, we know that we, and anyone else who walks through the valleys of life, never walks alone. What a blessing to be part of the family of God and know that our Father is leading the way!

The skin biopsy took place on Monday. Now, we wait (I'm getting better at it!) for results, probably on Thursday or Friday. Not too much else to report. Just please pray for good results and not IBC, (I'm starting to sound like a broken record!) and for peace with the treatment plan. We are learning there are many things to consider and we want to make wise decisions, with help from our doctors.

So, that about sums up what is new over at the VK's. I'll update again once we get results from the biopsy. Thanks for stopping by!!

In His Strength,


Cindy and the VK's

(Is it just me or does that sound like it could be a name of a 70's band?) ;-)

Dear Cindy and Dave:
Thank you so very much for using your computer savy to keep everyone abreast (no pun intended) of your prayer requests, as well as your progress through this trial in your lives. Jim and I are praying for you and your entire families. It remains our sincere prayer that God will richly bless you with complete healing; to help maintain your sense of humor through it all; and feel completely surrounded by his love and those that love you. Also praying very hard that this is not IBS. I have had many friends that have seen the physicians at Rush for Breast Cancer, they are the BEST!!
Feel Hugged :)
Kathy
PS - When and if you need an extra pair of hands or a shoulder, let me know - I'll be there.
