Larry T.

In October, 2021, my husband Larry was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer stage one with a tumor in his pancreas on his birthday. Two days later we went to his cancer surgeon to find out what can be done. At this time they did an updated CT scan. We were told he needed 3 months of chemo, then the whipple surgery (removing the gall bladder, part of the pancreas and stomach and rerouting the digestive system), and more chemo.

By this time our heads were spinning with all the information coming at us at a rapid rate. A few days later, during a visit to his oncologist the latest review of his current CT scan discovered another mass between the liver and stomach. The Doctor informed us, the cancer was now stage four and the whipple surgery was no longer an option. If Larry did nothing, he had 3-4 months left to live. He decided to try a round of chemo to possibly have a little more time.

We turned to prayer with faith and believing along with all of our family (we both come from large families), friends and the prayer team at Connection Church. We had so many people praying, it made us humble and so grateful.

After two months another scan was done. The mass had shrunk significantly along with the tumor in the pancreas enough for them to proceed with the surgery. During the surgery they harvested 32 lymph nodes looking for the cancer and they could not find any. The pathology report confirmed they were all benign. This is definitely our miracle! There is no other way to explain it.

His latest scan on March 16th, 2022 came back clear. Glory be to God! It will take six months for him to heal. We continue to pray for his six month recovery as he prepares for more chemo to help insure this cancer won't return. We know he is in the hands of God......THY WILL BE DONE. Amen.

We are so grateful for all of the prayers! We definitely believe in the power of prayer! We have been blessed beyond measure and thank the Lord always.
