Thanks SO MUCH for the prayers for my Dad (Pastor Ken Goins). A surgeon removed a tumor from his brain on Tuesday, January 15. According to the doctor, it was about the size of a “grape.” The doc indicated that the tumor looked “abnormal, cancerous, probably some form of lymphoma, and most likely malignant." On Wednesday, the pathology report confirmed his initial diagnosis. The tumor is an aggressive form of lymphoma.
Dad spent a little more than a day in ICU and was recovering from the surgery so well that they moved him to the main floor late Wednesday afternoon.
Today (Thursday, January 17), Dad was released from the hospital and sent home. Yea, God! His recovery from the surgery exceeded the doctor’s expectations. In fact, in assessing Dad’s miraculous progress his surgeon said, “To God be the glory.”
Dad and Mom also met with an oncologist today. They are prescribing a treatment of radiation and chemo after he heals from the surgery. They want to be as aggressive as possible, because this form of lymphoma is very aggressive. Unfortunately, they will have to take necessary precautions due to his kidney failure and continuing dialysis.
Janet and I, along with my mom, brothers and extended family are so thankful to all of our friends and who have prayed for Dad’s complete healing. We are still standing in faith believing for a MIRACLE. Thanks for standing with us. Janet and I love and appreciate you.
Sincerely
Chris Goins
