As many of you know, Colleen has been fighting her second bout of cancer since December 2017. She could give Ali a run for his money, as she shows cancer who is boss! All of the chemo appointments have been completed and tests have been completed... the results are in. Colleen is clear to go for surgery! Based on her original diagnosis, this is amazing and the doctors as well as the Stevenson family are over the moon about the cancer reduction results that the Chemo has resulted in.
With Tim having flown in from Africa to be by her side, Colleen will be going in for surgery tomorrow. The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning to remove both her spleen and portions of her liver where the cancer is still located. All the pre-op appointments were completed today with lots of information and testing, and so now we pray. The surgeon operating on Colleen is an expert, one of four in Southern Alberta and we know God will be guiding his hands. The surgery, being completed in Calgary, will last about 3 hours, with 2 hours afterwards for recovery. Based on the original feedback from the surgeon's team, Colleen will then be in hospital for another 7-10 days to recouperate.
Please join us in thanking God for the amazing results so far, but also for the complete healing of Colleen's body - completely cancer free! We are trusting and standing on the promise that "...by His stripes, we are healed..."! Please pray for the surgeon as he operates, her body as it recovers, Tim as he commutes to and from the hospital, and for the miracle of total healing. God has been so good to the Stevenson's and has been demonstrating His answers to prayers in so many ways so far, we are just so excited to see what He has in store for Tim and Colleen next!
Thank you all for your prayers leading up to this point as well as the continued prayers and support!
God Bless,
