I never really prayed so much for being cured but mostly that I would be granted to keep my faith no matter what lay ahead, because if I do that to the end, then I win this war with cancer. It dies when I die and in my mind I will be the one who kills it. I won't let the cancer see me die. As far as I am concerned, it will go first, I will take steps in victory away from its foul carcass in defiance and victory before I drop over. Once I cross over, I know that the reason why I went through what I did will be made known to me and I will then say, "Oh, now I understand. Thank you, Father, for putting that task upon me and I pray that I have pleased You in how I dealt with it."

That's beautiful man. I hope my faith is that strong should I ever be challenged with something like what you are going through.
God bless you.
