Time has been slow in my healing process, but all of pain the past 2 months have paled with the news of my son Justin's illness .
My 25 year old son Justin had not been feeling well for the past 3-4 weeks. The doctors thought he had Lyme's disease and treated him with antibiotics. This past Sunday Nov. 5th I drove him to the Emergency room at the local hospital, he felt worse and had loss almost 20 pounds, (he is now 155)....we were there for hours!
When the 3rd doctor came into the room to talk to us, ( he and I were alone in the room) she said " it looks like you have an issue with your lymphatic system, I know cancer is a scary word, but lymphoma is the most treatable of cancers".
With that one sentence.......I stopped breathing.
I looked at my son who was laying in the hospital bed, he seemed to have a confused look on his face......after a few moments he whispered in a low voice:
"cancer sucks".
I could not cry, I wanted to, but I could not. I wanted to be strong for him, and I thought to myself, he is in Gods hands and God will be with us...God will take care of everything.
Everything for the past 3 days has been so dark. The sun does not seem to be bright, food does not taste good, the air seems colder, conversations seem pointless, my fears have ripped at my mind, heart and faith.
I beg you to pray for him! PLEASE pray for Justin.
