9/1 - More Drama

Yesterday was a tough day for us. We met with an Oncologist, Dr. Rigburg in Oxnard and he is most likely going to recommend that Peg go through 4-6 months of chemo. He feels it is really a preventative measure and he is really not sure if anything remains in her body.

He was concerned that two lymph nodes had been infected, indicating that the tumor was trying to spread.

However, he wants to conduct more tests, scans and analysis before he recommends proceeding. He wants to do an Octreotide test & scan, another Pet & another CT scan along with blood and urine tests…Also, he needs to talk to the surgeon, Dr. Cameron about what he saw or discovered, and he wants to talk to a specialist in Tennessee that is an expert on “atypical neuroendicrine tumors”, which is what they removed.

We are becoming tired and worn out by this saga, seeming each next step will be the completion and we can return to a somewhat normal life.

It is difficult and frustrating, when you feel everything you pray, every line you draw in the sand, becomes violated and stepped on by the enemy. It’s hard to understand that a women who loves God, reads her bible everyday, serves God with passion, doesn’t smoke or drink, eats healthy, exercises daily, could be susceptible to something so heinous as this.

Last night at the dinner table, Trinity (4) asked Peg if she was going to die. Although, she doesn't really understand all that is going on, it was a very difficult and tearful moment. She later said a sweet prayer for mommy that God would give her peace and everything would be ok.

Thanks for your continued prayers and love... Larry

Peg and Larry, I want you to know that we are standing beside you holding up your arms so you will not get weary in the fight. God is faithful to do what He has promised!! I am reminded of Joseph who was sent to prison for doing what was right and for years he was forgotten about. But the Lord was so faithful to restore above and beyond what Joseph originally had. What the enemy intended for evil the Lord will and even now is changing for good! I know for me, when Dennis was in the hospital not showing any change in his physical body I was so tired, discouraged and weary I started to be moved by what I saw. It was through the faith of others that I believe I was sustained. At that darkest point when I was ready to doubt, it was actually the beginning of the miraculous. 2Chron. 20:15,17 "Do not be afraid or dismayed.....for the battle is not yours, but God's. ....Position yourself, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you." You both have done all and now it is time to see the faithfulness of our God!!! You and your whole family are very speical to us!! We love you and continue to pray and battle on your behalf. Love ya, Lauri

Something I came across while reading my Bible,
I thought of you and Peggy. It is in 1 Peter:5-8. It says:

...who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the time.
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory...

You both have genuine faith and I believe with all my heart that God will heal Peggy. I will continue to pray for peace for both of you In Jesus Name! I love you both,
Josie

Peggy & Larry,
Precious & Faithful children of God - you are in the midst of a most difficult time of perseverance. God will meet you & you will wait on Him, because of who you are. Those who know you, know this is true & what a testimony that is for God's Glory. You are so very special & our hearts are burdened every day by all your family is having to endure. Our Pastor said this morning -- we need to persevere when we want to "quit". Our Lord will never forsake us.
Heb. 10:35 - "So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised." Do not lose heart...you have the prayers of many and God is on your side! We cannot fathom all you have been through -- we carry a heavy burden for you & promise our prayers & love to you....God's Peace upon you dear ones.......Love, Katy

Dearest Peg and Larry,
Words cannot describe my feelings when I read your blog today. It was very disheartening to read the update. You and your family are in my prayers. I continue to believe that there is much hope for your situation. I would love to visit soon and see your beautiful children. Let me know when things settle down and when I can be of help. Love, Donna Huggins
