The Road Not Chosen (Part 2)

A while back I put up a post about Peter and Jesus conversing in John 21. Jesus was talking about a time in Peter's life when he would walk down a road that was chosen for him, in order to glorify God, but one that Peter would not have chosen on his own. As an update to that post, Cindy and I continue down that road. After being diagnosed with Uterine Sarcoma back in February, having a complete hysterectomy and underdoing radiation treatments for several months, we hoped we were through with that difficulty for a time.

Followup scans in the last few weeks showed a suspicious place in the spleen and she had surgery to remove the spleen for a biopsy. During that surgery, another tumor was found on some adominal tissue. The spleen was also found to have a malignant tumor. Cindy recuperated in the hospital for 6 days after the surgery and was able to come home. Three days later she had to return to the hospital because several large and dangerous blood clots formed in her left leg. She is recuperating in the hospital now, having the clots dissolved with blood thinners.

Again, we face a road we would not have chosen on our own. We know others face and have faced many of the same things. We only want to honor God in the midst of it. I'll keep things posted.
