Update On Steve Hopkins
Update From Steve
Just returned from Oregon Health and Science University and the urologist/oncologist believes the lesion in my kidney is a low grade form of cancer. So far it is not in my lymph nodes as the first urologist I saw a couple of weeks ago reported.
The doctor intends to biopsy the lesion in my kidney and if it is indeed a low grade form of cancer, either lapriscopically, remove my Ureter and Kidney. If it is not a low grade form of cancer, then he will do open surgery and remove the kidney and my lymph nodes.
I see this as an answer to prayer. Please pray that the biopsy which will be done in about two weeks confirms it as a low grade cancer. But for now it’s good news.
Thanks to all for the prayers. As you might imagine these past few weeks have been an emotional roller coaster for me and my family. We have the peace of God in this…and I attribute that to prayer because that kind of peace is not something I am able to muster up
Reposting here. Lord I love this place.
Steve, you are at the top of my prayer list. Thanks for the update. Your perspective has always blessed me and convicted me, in a good way. God’s blessings on you.
Health and life to you Steve in Christ our Lord.
Thoughts and prayers, Steve.
thanks for the update, that is good news I’m glad to hear.
Praying for you Steve. Thank you for showing us your humanity.
Joining with all of you for our friend. Much love to you, Brother Steve.
Praying for healing, wisdom, direction and God’s peace….
Laporscopically remove your kidney? wow…
That’s pretty cool that they can even do that now a days
Praying,,,,
God bless you and your family, Steve, and praying for continued good news and healing.
The doctor said this type of cancer comes from exposure to chemicals or smoking. Other than an occasional cigar (which I haven’t smoked in 4 months) I quite smoking 30 years ago. To my knowledge I am not around chemicals but makes me wonder about my car, my house and my place of work. Maybe there is some unknown toxin somewhere…dunno.
Anyway, I truly do appreciate your prayers and Michael allowing me to communicate the updates to you. I will be glad when I am out of the woods on this and talking smack with London again. Is there a chance that Jackie Alnor could come back so I could mix it up with her too! For some sick reason I find some pleasure in arguing with her 🙂
Sorry about that last comment…maybe the cancer has gone to my brain!
Praying for a complete miraculous healing of any traces of cancer anywhere in your body. Praying for the doctors to be shocked and surprised that the cancer has disappeared.
Praying for supernatural faith and acceptance of this divine healing!
Oden
Man…your post means a lot to me…thanks brother
Yesterday, as we talked about power, prayer, the Holy Spirit, and miracles, I found myself praying that we would have the opportunity as a community to see the Lord work in a powerful and wonderful way as we join together and pray. This morning I am praying that we see the Lord work in a mighty way in the life and health of Steve, a friend and brother.
Steve, I am joining in with Oden and the others praying that our faith will be all be increased by how God works in your life and body!
What Isaiah56 said above!
