Bonnie's Post about the malignant tumor on her leg:
Please keep Mark and I in your prayers. A malignant tumor was diagnosed today on the inner aspect of my right lower leg. Curative treatment will most certainly include radiation and surgery. This is a shock but we are standing firmly on Jeremiah 29:11 “I know the plans I have for you; plans to prosper and not to harm you if you will trust in me with all your heart.” We are trusting.

I will try to update this blog with Bonnie's current status. The posts will most likely be infrequent. The basic treatment plan is for five weeks of radiation, followed by surgery to remove the tumor and then an extended time for recuperation. The time frame will be approximately:
1. Preparation for radiation treatment: 2-3 weeks
2. Radiation treatments: 5 weeks
3. Tissue recuperation in preparation for surgery: 4-6 weeks
4. Surgery to remove the tumor & total recuperation: Several weeks (as needed).
I will not get into the medical particulars of all that is involved, since that is not within the scope of my knowledge or understanding. We are hopeful that the tumor appears to be quite contained, and that radiation and surgery will be curative. Please pray to that end. We are not seeking advice or input pertaining to treatment, etc. We have a great team of doctors and advocates that we have utmost confidence in. Thank you so much for caring and even more, for your prayers to our Father in Heaven whose healing mercy is extravagant.
Bonnie really enjoys the emails and texts you send. Feel free to include both of us if so desire. We will do our best to respond. Thanks for understanding.
If you forget how to access this blog, just send me a text or give me a call. I will be happy to send you the link.
Our dear friends and family have been overwhelmingly supportive and encouraging to us. Today marks the FIRST DAY of the journey of getting rid of this "light affliction" that has invaded Bonnie's leg. I thought it ironic that for the first time in her life, Bonnie showed up at the cancer clinic as a patient rather than a healthcare provider. We are good, hopeful and in a positive frame of mind.
Blessings to you all, and thanks again for your love and support.

Bonnie's radiation treatments will begin this coming Thursday, Aug 21st. They will last for 5 weeks.
As I lie on the radiation table...
this is what we are praying daily while under that big machine. “Father, beam down your laser healing rays into this tumor. Work with the radiation beam to kill tumor cells.”
I took this picture this morning when I had my treatment. I love the visual of healing from above joining with the monster machine. Smile! Join us in this prayer. And I am doing great so far. Feeling strong and courageous and full of gratitude for each one of you
Sending love and prayers. Kathleen and Blake
