Hi! - this is from Faith (Joe's daughter)
Mom just called from Dad's Dr. appointment. Daddy has cancer again... this time it is in his colon. I will post more information later - I just want to put out this urgent prayer request on Dad and Mom's behalf. Thank you! Faith This is an update from Daddy that we posted on Caringbridge: Dear prayer partners, the news is not good. The lymphoma has not come back. I have colon cancer. I will have a colonoscopy on Jan. 18 and colon surgery on Jan. 19. Dr. Bennett, who will do the colonoscopy and surgery, says that he thinks surgery will get it and I should not have to have chemo again. Let us pray that chemo will not be necessary. Also pray that the surgery will get all of it. The way the doctor talked, he felt that surgery would get all of it. Pray that I will remember that: “There is nothing, no circumstances; no testing that can touch me until it has come past God and past Christ, right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with great purpose.” (Alan Redpath) Once again, I have to wait to see what God’s purpose in all of this is. Everything happens in God’s time, not mine. It is all in his hands. Needless to say, I am still a little shell-shocked from the news that I have another cancer. I am facing it in faith, but you need to pray for me to have patience and to really trust God through it all. Can you believe that the main thing I am dreading right now is the preparation for the colonoscopy? I’ll be asleep during the colonoscopy and surgery, but one can’t sleep and drink Nulytely? (If you have ever had a colonoscopy, you know what I’m thinking about.) Of course, waking up from surgery will be a real challenge as well. Just continue to pray for me. Bro. Joe
