Happy Anniversary to us!!!

Yesterday Brenda and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary. I have no idea how she has put up with me for that long....lol. Well actually I do...the Grace of God.

This year was a bit different than last years anniversary......

Last year I was preparing for my 1st every colonoscopy. The very next day.....our lives were changed forever. As most recall, two tumors were discovered in my descending colon. Surgery was scheduled and the whirlwind began.

One year ago today, about maybe 8pm...Brenda and I bowed on our knees and layed this issue at Jesus' feet......immediately, His response to me...."I WILL take care of you son....".....

Fast forward to today and that response is STILL holding true. My cancer is stable and I am living a relatively normal life. Thank you Jesus!!!!!

And while I am at it...I have been in various levels of pain since my crash on the race track in November. My left lower abdomen/groin area sometimes feels like I have a pulled muscle... On my last CT, a thickening of my left bladder wall was noted. I was sent to a urologist to have a specialist have a gander.

After a brief chat, and him telling me that cancer can "hide" in the bladder....he suggested a scope to see exactly what was going on, if anything. I am so thankful that my bladder inside is normal, no sign of cancer. More answered prayer..... He believes my pain is associated with scarring of my colon and the thickning on the wall is due to the scarring....

I hope all my fellow fighters and Survivors are doing well. Thanks for stopping by and stay in touch!

Believe,

Kevin
