Sheila

We took Sheila to a hospital in PAP on Sunday to see some Drs who were in from the States. The Dr didn’t need any tests done to confirm breast cancer. Sheila was shocked she really thought she was getting better (the wound is getting smaller but she has some “knots” that continue to grow and harden) and had no clue. We, on the other hand, were thinking cancer more and more with each packing. The Dr thinks the cancer could have already to spread to multiple places and because of where it is etc, they couldn’t cut or do anything Sunday.

Shelia had an appointment today at a cancer center in PAP. They were very supportive and reassuring, and will continue to check with Sheila and support her as she seeks treatment elsewhere (this particular center would be really expensive so they recommend somewhere else).

Sheila has young kids and wants to fight; she is not ready to give up.

Having cancer here seems extra hopeless. My heart aches for Sheila, it aches for her husband, and for her children. My heart is also thankful that Respire is here to help and offer support. Reality is if we hadn’t started helping her four weeks ago she might not be here right now.

We are praying for a miracle for Sheila, for healing, knowing and believing God has a plan and can heal Sheila if that is His will. If healing isn’t His will His plan is still good.

Pray with us as we walk through this with Sheila and her family. Pray for wisdom and guidance; for healing, strength, and energy for Sheila. Pray for encouragement and comfort for Sheila, her husband and children.
