He said "It is gone"

As most of you know, Lorrie has been receiving Chemotherapy for a little over a month now and because the first dosage she received was so potent the Oncologist had decided to reduce her therapy treatment by 20% to keep her out of the hospital. So far it is working fine and she is coping with the treatment without any severe side effects.

I did want everyone to know that about two weeks ago our Oncologist ordered a CT scan of her tumor she has on her colon so to better see the progression of it. Honestly feeling that we were just in for more bad news about the tumor because the doctor said he couldn't cure her, we just headed to the hospital for the test. I grabbed Lorrie's hand on the way to the hospital and said lets pray Lorrie. As I held her hand I said to God, you know God, there are a lot of people as you know that are praying for a miraculous recovery for Lorrie and they are all watching and waiting for you to show mercy on her. You said ask and you will receive. So it is all up to you... I 'm asking for the results of this test to show that the tumor is gone and that you'll restore Lorries health back to her. Didn't seem like a huge request to me. I just asked my father to take control of his daughter and heal her. I looked over at Lorrie and with that big smile that’s always looking back at me, proceeded to the Lab for the CT scan.

Would you believe the Oncologist called back three days later and told Lorrie that the results of the CT scan were in and they showed NO MASS or TUMOR visible. The tumor that was too large to remove during surgery and that our surgeon said was the size of a computer mouse....was gone. To make sure that we all are on the same page i.e. Oncologist, surgeon and radiologist, I contacted them and asked to compare all her imagery from the minute we found the tumor till now to make sure we were not possibly overlooking something. Again they called back and agreed that the mass was absent from where it was originally located on her colon. They ordered a PET scan last week to look at her again with the best technology they have. Although the results are not in yet, I believe I already know the answer. I asked God as I had so many times before to help us through this terrible time in our lives and although I seemed to continually get the same bad results and even doubted him even listening to me, I know we didn't walk alone and we know he was there all the time. It is one thing to have faith in God, to know that God exists, and that He is all-powerful and that there is nothing that He cannot do or accomplish – but it is quite another thing to be able to completely trust God with your life and to completely trust Him to properly handle it for you. For over two years since we first found her to have cancer, I have been looking for a miracle and mercy from God for Lorrie. I believe he has answered with an astounding reply…. It is gone…..
