Here was my Facebook post from 3/3/17.

Christ be glorified! Yesterday, we went to MD Anderson for Alan's first appointment to get more information on a treatment plan. 

All indications right now is that Alan is cancer-free. This is a HUGE Praise. He should do chemo due to a couple of reasons. So now which of the two chemo options and timing are the decisions to be made. 

We both have been pretty clear and in sync in our thoughts on it. I love how our prayers for the last week has been for wisdom, clarity and peace and our Lord has given us just that!

Alan is the love of my life, if you haven't figured that out yet. So whatever we can do to avoid this coming back or any metastasized recurrence of it in the future, we will do. 

The Lord brought Alan and I together. He is the perfect head of our household, husband to me and father to our girls. He encourages me in my strengths and is not intimidated by it (unlike a lot of guys). He encourages me to do as The Lord leads. But see that's the key. We both are united in doing as The Lord leads our lives and our family. 

Cancer is not what anyone wants to afflict their spouse or anyone they love. Cancer is a vile and horrible disease. But cancer is not a death sentence! We have Christ; therefore, we have life eternal. We can face anything because of the Love of Christ. If you don't have that same confidence, that no matter what curve balls life throws at you, that to live is Christ, then come talk with us. 

If one person grows closer to Christ or even comes to Christ through our journey, then we have beaten Cancer. Cancer is just another tool Satan would like to use to steal our joy. And we refuse!
