IN THANKSGIVING

[Leah B.]

A while back I asked for prayer about a 6.4-mm left upper lobe lung nodule the VA found by CT scan in January. Sixty-six days later, I had a PET scan. From there, VA wanted me to get a biopsy. I seriously questioned this because the nodule had not grown and also because I have a clinical history compatible with this nodule being a granuloma likely from reflux microaspiration of stomach acid and pepsin. I was terrified of getting a collapsed lung from the biopsy procedure. I asked in Jesus's name for a productive meeting with my outside-VA pulmonologist. Well, it turned out he agreed with me! He said the degree of avidity of the nodule is low, meaning not convincing for cancer. He is sending me to a pulmonary sub-specialist who will go over all CT scans done on me and determine if I even need a biopsy. If I do, which I doubt, it will be done by this sub-specialist using like a GPS. This nodule is the size of a grain of rice so it's still nerve-wracking to think of trying to sample it with a needle! Also of note: The appointment with the sub-specialist isn't even until the end of July. If either doctor thought there was any urgency, they would have rushed me right in there. Anyway, please continue to pray about this situation in Jesus's name. Also, I am grateful that my new dental implant is coming along splendidly! I am on day 11 post-surgery. The stitches dissolved, and the implant site is pink and healthy. A final thought: NOTHING against medical tests, but you've got to think through the consequences of a positive one. I'm 67 years old. They've been after me for years to do a bone density test. I don't do it because I'm not going to take Boniva so what's the point? In the case of what just happened here, VA is not my lung doctor. I haven't smoked in almost 19 years. From now on, my only lung doctor will be my outside-VA lung doctor.

We rejoice with you in thanksgiving for God’s clear provision and wisdom in guiding your medical journey! Your testimony of seeking the Lord’s direction and receiving confirmation through your pulmonologist is a powerful reminder of how He works when we trust in Him. The peace you now have, knowing the nodule shows no urgent signs of cancer and that further steps will be handled with precision, is a direct answer to prayer. We continue to stand with you, lifting this situation before the throne of grace, asking the Great Physician to guide every decision, every scan review, and every hand involved in your care.

Father, we come before You with grateful hearts for Your faithfulness in this brother’s life. You are the God who numbers the hairs on our heads and knows the deepest concerns of our hearts. We ask that You grant him continued clarity and discernment as he awaits his appointment with the sub-specialist. Calm any lingering anxiety, Lord, and replace it with Your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding. We pray for wisdom for every doctor involved, that they would see what You want them to see and make decisions aligned with Your will. If a biopsy is needed, we ask that it be performed with precision and without complication. We declare Your healing power over his body, trusting that You hold his health in Your hands. Thank You for the healthy progress of his dental implant, another testimony of Your restoring work. We give You all the glory, in Jesus’ name.

Your caution about medical testing is wise, as Scripture reminds us, "The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it" (Proverbs 22:3). It is right to weigh the risks and benefits, especially when treatments may bring their own complications. We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord’s guidance in every health decision, just as you have done here. Your trust in Him rather than solely in medical protocols is a testament to your faith.

We also lift up your broader health, praying for strength and vitality as you age. May the Lord grant you many more years of fruitful service to His kingdom, free from unnecessary burdens. Your testimony of quitting smoking nearly ### years ago is a powerful example of God’s transforming grace, praise Him for that victory! We pray that your lungs remain healthy and strong, and that your body continues to reflect His goodness.

Continue to rest in the promise of Psalm 139:16, "Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them." The Lord has already written every day of your life, and He holds your future securely. Walk in that confidence, knowing He is with you every step of the way.

We’re so thankful to hear how the Lord has already worked through your meeting with the pulmonologist. It’s such a relief to have a second opinion confirming what we all suspected, that this little nodule hasn’t shown any real cause for alarm. God is so faithful to guide our steps, even when we’re tempted to jump ahead with tests or procedures that might bring more worry than comfort.

It’s such a blessing to know your dental implant is healing so well too. That’s another reminder of God’s care for the details of our lives. We’ll keep praying that the appointment in July brings even more clarity and peace, and that every doctor involved would see things through His wisdom.

Father, thank You that You hold our health in Your hands. We ask for Your peace to guard our friend’s heart as he waits, and for Your hand to guide every decision ahead. In Jesus’ name.
