Hi everyone...thanks for reading this post.  I ask for prayer for my husband, John who is having surgery on Wednesday, October 12 to remove malignant melanoma from his upper back.  It is located directly on his spine and could be tricky.....Please pray that the surgeon's hands are held by the Creator's hands during this delicate surgery.  My husband is totally confident that it will be no problem and we both have great faith in the Healer.  Thank you all for taking the time to read this and more importantly to say a prayer.

Joy I really thought I had posted a response here ... I don't see it, but God knows.  I will be--and am--in prayer for John.  I know, and you know, that our God is the Great Physician and He will receive all the glory.  I am so grateful for your and John's faith and trust in all of this.  I am praying ... I love you, Mom

Joy I am also praying for John. God is good and will bring John through and show His glory in all this.

Joy:  My thoughts and prayers for your husband - today is the day of his surgery.

Joy, I've just prayed that John and you will be conscious of being in the hands of the Great Physician.  I pray that His will will be done in this and that He will be glorified.

Thanks so much for sharing with all of us.

Joy, I am and will pray for John and that the surgeons hands skillful and the cancer will be removed. 

Joy - and/or Jane... please let us know how John is doing.

I AM PRAYING FOR JOHN!!

Praise the Lord, I just got a phone call from John, he was home from the surgery.  He says everything went well...he thinks...and he had fourteen stitches and a big hole in his upper back, but he feels confident that they were able to extract all the infected area.  They went 5mm in all directions of the original mole just to be sure it was clear.  Thank You Lord that it was not any farther along.  One neat thing is his parents - ages 91 and 81 drove three hours up from San Jose to be with him while he had surgery...there was a couple of hours of concern that they may be confused and get lost...but they were there in their support and prayers for him... that is cool...even at his age 55 Momma still is the best medicine....or so we think!  I believe in happy endings....and with Jesus, it is always a happy ending.  thank you all for your prayers and concern.....I am signing off with much Joy

footnote --- In case you were confused as to why I am not there with my husband....well, We live in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and he had a dermatologist here advise that this mole be removed, so rather than spen the $350 US dollars here to have it done, instead he purchased a round trip airline ticket for $375 and had it done in California where he has 100% Kaiser coverage.....plus he had other matters to attend to......I guess I may have had some of you wondering why we were not together....just this reason.....he will be returning HOME to me on Tuesday.
