Update on Cyndi, Not what we wanted to hear

Update on Cyndi, Not what we wanted to hear. As I started out the door today for work I turned back to my wife Cyndi and said to her "today is the day your going to hear good news." I really felt down deep good news was coming and we would hear her surgeon saying, "we have clear margins." Unfortunately the phone call Cyndi took today a little before 11:00 was not the news we were hoping for. The surgery of last Thursday was not successful, cancer is still in her breast and the only option left now is removal.

So what is the story with how I felt this morning as I told Cyndi today was the day for her good news? I cannot get this out of my mind. I am talking to God, asking what is going on, talk to me Lord tell me what is happening, how do we get through this now, please God would you scream the answer into my ears!

He is telling me it doesn't work that way, that the good news is coming, one step at a time. The next step is to remove the cancer. Yes, removal of part of my wife and her body never to be the same as she knew it, must change too. But in the end, the good news will be here, she will be here, and she will be cancer free. My prayer does not end here, not today nor tomorrow. I will continue to do what God is commanding me to do. Pray fervently, ask and believe, and it will be done, it will be ok. Our God is good, he speaks with a soft voice, and I hear Him loud and clear.

Thank you all here on Active Rain for your prayers, they were not unheard, they will continue to be heard.

God bless you, God bless my Cyndi...we both love you all very much.

Bob and Cyndi

Thanks for your post Bob.

Your right. One step at a time. Good wishes for your family, Cyndi, and yourself

Respectfully

Tony

"His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts......."

YES...we will CONTINUE to pray for Cyndi and for the family, Bob......

(I KNOW what you are going through IS HARD....... I have gone though my share of family tragedies also)

May the Lord CONTINUE to hold you AND Cyndi CLOSE to Himself through this whole situation, Bob....

I'll be calling........

Tony, thank you for being here as well. We appreciate you.

Alex, and thank you for all your prayers and support. I will call you when things calm a down a bit. I did get your voice mail, you do not know what that call meant to me, and Cyndi.

Bob, I have been away from AR and I am so sorry to hear this news. Cyndi (and you) will be in my prayers. I believe He can heal her!

JAN

Debbie, good to see you too, and thank you for your support and prayers. So good to see you here.

Hi Bob,
I continue to remember you and Cyndi in my prayers. Thank you for keeping us posted on her condition.

Cynthia, your such a great friend, thanks so much.

I am sorry to hear your news; I will keep you both in my prayers. It is so hard sometimes to make sense; his ways are just not our ways. Keep up posted as to when her surgery will be.

Marchel, we will meet with the surgeon tomorrow to discuss how Cyndi wants to proceed with the surgery and much more after the surgery takes place. Will be sure to keep you posted when she is going in for surgery. Take care and thank you for being there.

Hi Bob, I have seen Cyndi's picture at the top of the Indiana section since the day I joined AR. You two are Icons here.

Cancer tests the true faith of a person for sure. We all have story's of those close to us who have beat it but always with scars on their body, their mind or their spirit. I pray that we will see Cyndi in the Breast Survivors walk year after year after year after year.

Prayers are with you.

OMG! I did miss an important post! I'm so sorry. One thought though. Who says you didn't receive good news? The doctors are not necessarily the ones with the report God wants for you.

"Whose report will you believe? We will believe the report of the Lord" Sorry I can't remember the passage. I tend to memorize verses and forget the passage.

I believe we should proceed with what the doctors prescribe, while claiming and believing in our hearts, that God's word is true. We are healed by His stripes, and His blood that was shed for us.

"Let it be done on earth, as it is in Heaven." In Heaven, healing is already done.

JAN

My continued Prayers for Cyndi & you Bob, take care and May God intervene and heal, in Jesus name Amen,

Sincerely,

Grace

Cindy, Lisa, and Grace, Thank you all for your prayers, and support. Cyndi is doing remarkably well with this new way of life, and the decisions she is making are sound ones. Third surgery will be coming within a month or so. She is so thankful for all your support, as am I.

Bob, I'm sending prayers and hugs your way. You'll get your good news.

Patricia, I appreciate your support so much, and yes we are looking for that good news when this is all over, we hope to hear, cancer free. God bless.

JAN

Prayers and thoughts are with you both. God is speaking to you for a reason, have faith, be still and know that he knows all. He is telling you everything will be ok, but in his time!

Reading this brought tears to my eyes, this is hitting HOME!! My mom (Dinah) just went through a double Mastectomy, she had tubular and lobular cancer, she is having her last round of Chemo in two weeks, then she will start to have her tissue expander's filled every two weeks, that is in preparation for breast augmentation. GOD has been good, I know that this seems unbearable, for the both of you, you are going to be her Rock and believe it or not she will be yours as well, PLEASE... PLEASE tell her to feel free to contact me at anytime with any questions as to what to expect, and she is also welcome to email my mom to get a first hand experience, I have a few websites with support groups that literally helped to save my moms life and lift her spirits before surgery. I pray that the Lord will give you both strength through this, it is a difficult road to travel, but every journey starts with ONE step forward! I told my mom from the first day she was told she had cancer and lived to the next day she was a SURVIVOR! MY THOUGHT AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU BOTH!! Please tell Cyndi to email me with any questions, you do the same!!

Kathy, so true, and I am listening believe me, I did not know that God has a soft voice during this time. We are believing that God is going to take care of Cyndi through this. Thank you for being here Kathy.

Sharon, I had to stop and pray for your mother before writing you back and will continue to do so. Thank you for all your support here, I have passed your email on to Cyndi too. She too thank the Lord for this has come accross a few sites that have people as your mother going through this ordeal. We have a wonderful support group on praying for her, right here on Active Rain. I cannot thank you enough for just writing, praying, and sharing with your heart. Thank you Sharon, you my friend have brought tears to my eyes now. Praying for your Mother Dinah and you, as you said we need ourselves to be a rock for each other, I pray God gives you the continued strength to be there as well.

Would you please let us know how your mother does as well. We will keep in touch, too.
