FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THANKS TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER FOR HIS MERCY AND GRACE. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DONT KNOW OR HAVENT HEARD, I HAVE BEEN BATTLING COLON AND LIVER CANCER SINCE JUNE OF THIS YEAR. I HAD NO IDEAL THAT I HAD CANCER, NEVER EVEN CROSSED MY MIND. I WASNT SICK, NOTHING WAS HURTING ME, I WAS JUST EXTREMELY TIRED ALL THE TIME, BUT I ASSOCIATED THAT WITH THE FACT THAT I WAS TAKING CARE OF MY MOM, MY DAD HAD BECAME ILL, SO HE WAS IN AND OUT THE HOSPITAL AND I WAS STILL WORKING AN 8-HOUR DAY JOB. SO THIS WAS MY DAILY ROUTINE - GO TO WORK, OFF AT 5, STOP BY HOSPITAL CHECK ON DAD, SPEED HOME TO CHECK ON MOM AND IF IT WAS HER DIALYSIS DAY, I WOULD HAVE HER THEIR FOR 7PM, GO BACK AND PICK HER UP AROUND 10:30 OR 11:00PM, NEXT MORNING START MY ROUTINE ALL OVER, SO I THOUGH IT WAS NORMAL FOR ME TO BE THIS TIRED UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCE. WELL MY DAD PASSED 5/27/14 AND WAS BURIED 5/31/14. FOUR DAYS LATER WHEN I DECIDED THAT I COULD NO LONGER FUNCTION WITH THE TIREDNESS THAT I WAS FEELING, YET NO PAIN, JUST TIRED. I WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. I WAS TEASING WITH SOME OF MY FRIENDS ON MY WAY THERE, AS TO WHAT WAS I GOING TO TELL THE STAFF AT THE -ER- THAT IM HERE BECAUSE IM TIRED, THATS REALLY NO REASON TO GO TO -ER-, SO I THOUGH WELL SINCE IVE BEEN FEELING LIKE I WAS GOING TO FAINT, AND I ACTUALLY HAD FAINTED ONCE BEFORE MAYBE A YEAR OR 2 OR 3, AGO I THOUGHT THATS IT. GLAD I DID, THAT WAY THEY HAD TO EXAMINE ME FROM HEAD TO TOE, AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT EVENING IN -ER- THAT I HAD CANCER. THEY ADMITTED ME THAT EVENING, IM OUT AND DOING GOOD. THEY HAVE REMOVED THE CANCER FROM MY COLON, AND IM TAKING CHEMO FOR THAT ON THE LIVER TO SHRINK IT AND THEN THAT WILL BE REMOVED. THIS IS ALL DONE THROUGH GOD GUIDING AND DIRECTING THE HANDS OF THE DOCTORS. DO WE SERVE AN AWESOME OR WHAT. IM NOT GOING TO LIE TO YOU, AT THE FIRST ONSET OF ALL THIS NEWS, I WAS READY TO GIVE UP, YOU GOT TO REMEMBER I HAD JUST BURIED MY DAD 4-DAYS AGO FROM FROM CANCER, I THOUGHT WELL LORD IF YOU GONE TAKE ME NOW, I COULD CATCH UP WITH DAD AND I WOULDT BE ALONE...lol, BUT I WAS SERIOUS AT THE TIME. IM SO GLAD THAT GOD WAS AND STILL IS IN CONTROL. NOW I KNOW THAT WASNT NOTHING BUT THE DEVIL, ONCE I GOT MYSELF TOGETHER AND MY SPIRIT LIFTED, AND MY FAITH BACK WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE, BECAUSE IVE ALWAYS HAD STRONG FAITH IN THE LORD, BUT THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS TESTING YOU. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING CHURCH, GOD IS IN FULL CONTROL, MY FIRST SURGERY WAS A SUCCESS, IM TAKING CHEMO NOW, AS A MATTER OF FACT IM SITTING ON MY SOFA AT HOME WATCHING TV, HOOK UP TO A CHEMO PUMP AS WE SPEAK. I DONT HAVE ANY OF THE SIDE EFFECT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A LITTLE TINGLING IN MY HANDS, BUT NO VOMITING, NO DERRIERE, TO TIRED TO GET OUT OF BED - NON OF THAT. I TOLD MY DOCTOR THE OTHER DAY THAT CHEMO SEEM TO GIVE ME ENERGY, IS THIS NORMAL. HIS RESPONSE WAS THAT HES NEVER HAD A PATIENT TO TELL HIM IF IT DID. . .OK, ENOUGH OF MY TESTIMONY, BUT I FELT THE NEED TO TELL MY STORY BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE REACHED OUT TO HELP ME FINANCIALLY. MY JOB TDC GAVE ME A FUNDRAISER/BENEFIT ON 8/5, MY BROTHER M.C. ADAIR AND HIS FRIEND/COUSIN CHARLIC C. WHITE GAVE ME A BENEFIT 8/16, BOTH FUNDRAISER/BENEFIT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. I DIDNT ASK FOR IT. IT WAS GIVEN FROM THE GOODNESS OF THEIR HEART, JUST ANOTHER WAY OF GOD SHOWING ME FAVOR. ITS A GOOD THING TO HAVE INSURANCE, BUT THEIR A LOT OF OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. I WANT SAY THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERYONE THE SHOWED THEIR SUPPORT, WEATHER IT WAS FINANCIAL, YOUR PRAYERS, CARDS, PHONE CALLS WITH WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT, I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. I STILL HAVE A JOURNEY AHEAD, BUT KNOWING THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL, MAKES IT THAT MUCH EASIER. THE ONLY REQUEST I HAVE IS THAT YALL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR ME AND AS I USE TO HEAR THE OLDER FOLKS SAY WHEN YOU PRAY CALL MY NAME, LOL.................LOVE YOU AND THANKS AGAIN...
