Have you noticed that people who go through maladies or disease (dis-ease) have radically changed the way they view things? No matter how much you think you got it together, nothing (and I mean nothing!) changes your perspective like a good dose of cancer!
The best way of describing it is to compare it to war. When you are in a war, you expect to be shot at and there will be casualties. Cancer is the same... the problem for me is that in my selfish pride, I never expected to get shot at!
Suddenly, you are struck with the prospect of your own immortality! If you get cancer and you're not shaken to the core of your identity with the future possibilities (or lack of possibilities) then there's time for a spiritual awakening... it's only a prayer away!
I could not nor would I want to be going through this process without my faith in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My constant prayer has been since my first weird test indicating an issue... "Jesus, I trust in you!" (Thank you St. Faustina!)
Tomorrow, I lay my life before my Lord and let the capable hands of a surgeon bring me to health. Jesus, I trust in you!
