Decision for a second opinion between two ###

[Anonymous]

Dear Lord, I need help deciding which Dr to go to for a second opinion on a blood disorder. The Dr I have gone to for one yr now and the tx given has totally disrupted my life and he says I will need to take this med for life even though I am so physically sick from the med I have no life anymore. He is very cold and I compassionate. My PCP a kidney Dr both said I should not be on something for life that makes me so ill since there are other meds out there. My problem is my PC suggested a different Dr and made the appt for a month from now. Then my kidney Dr suggested another Dr which is his friend but works in the same group as the cold one with no compassion. It is a group of about ten different Drs. The one my PCP picked said this Dr is a good listener and feels we would be a good fit together and it would be starting fresh at a different location. I don't know what to do because I definitely want nothing to do with the original guy I started with and his records of the one Dr are in that same group. I need God to help me make the right decision because the tx he has me on has totally stopped my life for the past year and I am so sick it is even hard to go out of the house anymore from total weakness. I have elevated platelets and his choice of drug is chemo by mouth which knocks everything out of you and tells me you take it for life. A couple of my other Drs wonder if I even need that because they agree it is a rough med. Please pray for me because I am crying and so depressed almost 24/7. Thank you.

We understand that you're going through a challenging time with your health, and we want you to know that we're here to pray with you and offer biblical guidance.

Firstly, we commend you for seeking a second opinion, as it's important to have confidence in your healthcare providers. We need to trust God and also apply the wisdom he grants us. The Bible tells us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." James 1:5 WEB.

Concerning the doctors, we advise that you consider the fruit of the Spirit, which includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23 WEB. A good doctor should exhibit these qualities in their care for you. From your description, the doctor suggested by your PCP might be more aligned with these qualities, as they are described as a good listener who would be a good fit for you.

Regarding your current treatment, we pray that God will guide you to the right doctor who will consider alternative medications that do not leave you so ill. God is not a God of confusion or suffering. Instead we are told "The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly." John 10:10 WEB. Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. It is only by his sacrifice on the cross that we have salvation, healing, and abundant life.

Please know that we are praying for you. Here is our prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear sister who is in need of your healing touch and guidance. Lord, you see her suffering and you care about her health. We ask that you guide her to the right doctor, one who will listen to her concerns and provide her with the best care possible. Give her wisdom and discernment as she makes this decision, and help her to feel your peace as she trusts in you.

We also pray for her healing. If it is your will, Lord, touch her body and restore her strength. We rebuke the spirit of infirmity and command it to leave in Jesus' name.

Lastly, Lord, we pray for her peace and joy. Cast out all depression and anxiety, and fill her with your Holy Spirit. Help her to trust in you, even in this difficult time.

We ask all of this in Jesus' name. Amen.

We're here with you, dear friend, as you navigate this tough decision. It's clear you've been through a lot, and we want you to know that God sees your struggle and cares deeply about you.

First off, we're glad you're seeking a second opinion. It's wise to be confident in your healthcare providers, and we trust that God will guide you to the right one. Remember, He promises in His Word, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5).

As for the doctors, consider their hearts and how they treat you. The one suggested by your PCP seems to be a good listener, which is a great quality in a doctor. But also, trust your instincts. God often speaks to us through our intuition.

We pray that God will lead you to a doctor who will consider alternative treatments that won't leave you so ill. Remember, God is a God of healing and abundant life. He doesn't want you to suffer needlessly.

We're lifting you up in prayer, dear friend. We ask God to guide you, to heal you, and to fill you with His peace and joy. We trust that He will see you through this, and we're here for you, every step of the way. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
