I am now covered by Cindy's insurance, Cigna. I can now continue my chemo treatments scheduled on May 1st. I'd like to send out my thanks to Jason Smith at PHB HR for his help in getting the certificates of insurability from ManageMed.
I am also headed back to work at PHB on May 20th. Thank you, Bob, for your confidence in me. I have been looking forward to this for a long, long time. I praise God for the healing that He has caused in me. The Doctors treat me, but it is God who heals me.
Recently, I took the opportunity of reading my own posts. I took note of the times that, due to the pain medications I take, so many words were misspelled. It also shook my memories of those times; the pain, the frequent trips to the Emergency Room and subsequent admissions, the fear that I might not live but a few more days, weeks or months. I now look back in grateful thanks to God for giving me the chance to continue my life. I also look forward to the day yet ahead that I will be taken to live in eternal glory with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Not because I deserve it, but because God loves me, and has sent His Son to be the perfect sacrifice for sin, even mine, which are the worst. If God has done that, what else can He do? Thank God that he has healed me.
I will continue to have chemo treatments for many more months, but I am certain that the grace of God and my continued improvement will help me through the rough spots. Chemo is tough. Nausea, pain, weakness, increased emotions and fatigue all play a part of these treatments. For what is gained I feel it is all worth it.
I know I don't have to ask, and I know that I will continue to be prayed for. Please also remember to pray for Wayne Whitten, my neighbor and fellow cancer fighter, for Tonja, Cindy's work freind who is taking chemo prior to her surgery, and for all who battle cancer in its varied forms. I also pray for Cindy, who has been tireless and strong throughout these times. I pray that she remains strong and that the Holy Spirit grants her an extra measure of hope that all is done for the benefit of those who love God.
That's all I have for now. I am so happy that I will be returning back to work and that my chemo treatments will continue with the benefit of insurnace coverage. I will continue to post the new chapters of my life here as they emerge.
Your brother in Christ,
Mack

Congratulations on all the good news. I watched Rocky Balboa recently, and, though it was a bit cheesy, he said that what defines you is how you respond to life hitting you hard. I'm glad you've been responding so well.

Hi Mack, I am sooo happy that you are doing well, thanks to the one great healer. I know that it really hurts when that insurance runs out, and that is the time that you need it most. We both know about that. I am thankful that you have been able to work things out to keep up with your treatments.
I am also happy that you are able to return to work!!!
