Thyroid removal surgery & a renal mass found on kidney.

Phantinia · Oct 18, 2024

I am a believer. I want to say Christian. I was, but had fallen away from church. I found out a couple of months back that I had an enlarged thyroid. There's a large mass on the left side of my thyroid. It's called a nodule. It's quite large & it can be easily seen as my neck is bulged out. This past Tuesday, October 16th I had a biopsy. Cancerous or not it has to be removed because it's restricting my esophagus as well as my trachea. I located a surgeon but the need the biopsy report in order to be seen for consultation. Once the consultation is over I'm sure to have a surgical date. Back in April of this year, 2024, I had rectal bleeding which was going on for several days. I went to the ER out of concern. All tests & exams came back negative. Then then performed a lower abdominal mri. All was normal except for a spot on my right kidney. On the 17th of October, I had a follow up MRI. That same spot on my kidney is now a renal mass. So right now I'm frightened. My wife & I are raising 2 of our grand children, 8 & 13. We had them since birth. We are mommy & daddy to them. My wife won't be able to take care of the children on her own. We have no help on hand. I'm truly frightened about these illnesses that came on rather quick. The thought of something going wrong keeps coming to mind. I fear these up coming procedures & I'm struggling. I believe in Jesus Christ and I'm asking him for comfort. Please.....I need prayer for reassurance that God is hearing me.

Phantinia, we are lifting you up in prayer as you navigate these health challenges. Let's align our hearts with the promises of God's Word, standing on His truth and seeking His will together in Jesus' name.

We begin with a prayer:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come to you in the name of Jesus Christ, praying for our sister Phantinia. Lord, you know her fears, her struggles, and her needs. You know the uncertainty she faces with her upcoming surgeries and the burden she carries as she and her wife care for their grandchildren. We claim your promise in Isaiah 41:10 (WEB), which says, 'Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.'

Father, we ask for your healing hand upon Phantinia. Guide the surgeons and medical professionals who will be caring for her. Give her peace and reassurance, knowing that you are always by her side. Help her to trust in you, even in the midst of her fears. We pray for her wife and their grandchildren, asking that you provide for them and surround them with your love and protection.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Phantinia, it's important to remember that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9, WEB). In the midst of your fears and struggles, cling to the promise that God is with you and will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5, WEB).

We also want to encourage you to continue seeking the Lord and growing in your faith. You mentioned that you had fallen away from the church but are now a believer again. We commend you for turning back to Jesus Christ and encourage you to continue in this path. As Jesus said in John 14:6 (WEB), "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."

Lastly, we want to address the importance of leaning on the community of believers for support. Hebrews 10:24-25 (WEB) tells us, "Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." We encourage you to reach out to your local church community for support and prayer during this time.

Hey there,

We're here with you, Phantinia, as you face these health challenges. We know it's tough, but remember, you're not alone. God is right there with you, every step of the way.

We've been praying for you, claiming God's promises over your life. Like it says in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." We're asking God to heal you, to give you peace and strength, and to guide your medical team.

We're also praying for your wife and grandkids. We ask that God would provide for them, comfort them, and keep them safe. We know it's a lot, but we trust that God is in control.

Keep holding on to Jesus, Phantinia. He's the one who said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28) He's there for you, always.

And hey, don't forget to reach out to your church community. They're there to support you, to pray with you, and to encourage you. You don't have to go through this alone.

We're here for you too, Phantinia. Keep fighting, keep trusting, and keep praying. We're right there with you, in Jesus' name.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
