Journal entry by Laura Dohmann —
With great excitement I share tomorrow June 23rd will be my final surgery in this cancer journey. I will be getting my chemotherapy port removed and finishing up reconstruction.
God has shielded me from the very beginning and I know I would not have made it this far without his mercy poured on me! He gave me great support around me and covered me with His hand. To say I am grateful doesn’t even sum up all that is in my heart. I’m bursting with JOY to be on the end of this experience.
Not everyone ends their cancer journey with the gift of life on earth. I am overwhelmed HE spared me. I don’t know why he choose me or why he didn’t spare Kelly or Kim. Those are answers I think we would all love to understand/know. I can tell you until my last day on earth I will be incredibly grateful he gave me life. Even that doesn’t seem like enough but I will praise Him everyday until I can’t.
