Dear Cathy,
There are days like today, when I, a relatively well woman getting weekly Herceptin, overhear an oncologist taking about the worst-case-scenario to someone else. Many times, doctors have waltzed into my hospital room or I have sat in an office, and pronounced a death sentence over me. I am so humbled in the sight of God, because I know more than ever that I am truly in his hands. No doctor can really cure me and they have told me that. Oh sure, they hope for "the cure", like the polio vaccine, but for now they only control the disease.
Today I had a long talk with a lymphoma patient who told me all about metabolic therapy and the great success rate. He has invested over 100 hours studying it and has even travelled to New York. I had to reply that while it was all interesting and complicated, most patients just want to get well! They don't care how, they just want a pill or shot that will make them better. They don't have the inclination or intellect or MONEY to research something.
This is when I think the most about Christ and his healing of the sick. I realize the he is looking at something far different than our knowledge of an illness. Thank God, for that is just too complex for most people.
