Journal entry by Grace Asheim —
I am so appreciative of my family sharing my journey with you all. I need everyone to know that your prayers, and kind words have helped me tremendously through this journey.
The last update came from my daughter Stacy and a lot has happened since then, all good but some of it a little painful.
Let’s start with the lung cancer, I saw my oncologist on July 6th the first line on his report said ( patient is in complete remission ). To come back from stage 4 lung cancer is truly a Miracle, it’s very apparent to me that God has more plans for me.
On July 17th I had my follow with my urologist about my prostate cancer ( surgery was back on May 17th ) he told me my PSA level was at 0 which means he got all the cancer. Here is some of that pain I mentioned, I have had to learn to go the bathroom all over again, as I have had to wear pads since May and probably will for the next month or so, small price to pay to be rid of that cancer.
I was told recently that I have skin cancer ( you’d think there would be a limit to the number of cancers a person can have ) well here is the real painful part. On July 18th I had surgery on my nose. I went in with the understanding they would do one or may two scrapings on my nose and put a bandage on and we would be done. Six hours later would you believe it took 5 times to get all the cancer. What was left on the right side of my nose was not much. They took a 1/2 inch by 3 inch patch of skin from my cheek to put on my nose. I have over 40 stitches but with time it will heal. Please Please Please use sun screen, everyone is subject to skin cancer, it can be very painful maybe even deadly to deal with.
A special thank you to my girlfriend for being by my side for this entire journey. For those that know me know that girlfriend is what I call my wife. My love for her is never ending, she is the best thing that has ever happened to me. She has had to bury her worries so she could give me strength and help me through my worries. She is a remarkable person.
This journey has strengthened my relationship with my savior, I hope and pray for all that are suffering that they to find strength in God. Thank you to all that have kept me on the right track.
