You never know from day to day, hour to hour, moment to moment how you life will be changed. That is the way it was for Becky and I on Wednesday, July 16. She has had this type of rash on her foot for years, and it is trying to spread. Now we have been to many doctors with it over the years and all of them just kind of blew it off as nothing, but a dermatologist in Amarillo did a biopsy on it and sent it in. Well her foot wasn’t wanting to heal so she went to see Dr. Green who did a culture on it. We flew into Denver for our few days off and her foot began hurting really bad so she called Dr. Green who put her on a half of a dose of antibiotics and told her when we got home to come in and see him. So she did and while she was there Dr. Green called the dermatologist to see what the test results were. This is when he told Dr. Green that Becky has cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, cancer. So we went to see the oncologist on Tuesday, July 22 not knowing what to expect. He did some tests and will do more but in his own words, “If there is a cancer to get, this is it.” Basically, this is the type of cancer that shows on the skin and will most likely never show on the inside and that is what these tests are for. Most likely it will be treated with a steroid cream or pills, worst case maybe some radiation or chemo but he did not expect it.
So we never know what life will throw us, but regardless, we know who still sits on the throne and we know who still saves us from our sins and we know where the redeemed of the Lord will spend eternity. Are you ready?
In HIS Service,
Bro. Randy

I was just recently diagnosed with this type of cancer as well. Tell Becky to be of courage - it is a good thing they found it so early! Look into the following site dedicated to this type of cancer: http://clfoundation.org/
