View From The Waiting Room - part IV

I sent part III on Monday but it doesn't appear on my blogspot. Did anyone out there get it?
My musings were basically related to the fact that as this delay of surgery drags on some may be asking "is it really going to happen?" My response was (think of the infamous "balloon boy" farce) "yes, it's really going to happen and no, it's not going to be part of a reality TV series".
Shirley and I, along with a host of wonderful friends, are praying:
a. God will miraculously remove the cancer and nothing will be found when the surgeon goes in;
b. or the diseased tissues will be contained and the surgery will completely deal with the problem.
The surgeons are predicting the result will be either 'b' or something that will require further treatment. Medical experts are divided on whether chemo and/or radiation is effective for melanoma. The usual response is "every melanoma is unique..." As a result they won't commit as to the out come of any chosen path of treatment.
In the midst of this, we remain at peace, trusting God for whatever outcome. Somehow He has it all under control. Our family doctor continues to battle on behalf of our situation but the surgery date continues to be fixed for Nov. 3rd.
In the meantime, I will be travelling to Edmonton and Winnipeg to represent the Missions Department and ERDO in various meetings with pastors and church leaders. I'll be gone from the 23rd (this Friday) until the 29th.
We continue to follow Paul's direction: :in everything give thanks..."
Blessings.
KEN AND SHIRLEY
