What I am Thankful for:
Hello friends,
James Suggs here, and first off I would like to say that I am thankful for
my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am thankful that he was willing to
drink his bitter cup, die on the cross and rise again in 3 days for my
sins, so that I could be saved and have eternal life.
Listen, I normally don’t talk or write too much about my personal life, but
today for some reason I feel ok with talking and writing a little about my
self and my feeling.
It was around October of last year that I had a really bad hurting in my
right leg, just below the knee. My doctor was treating it for gout, but
the pain just would not go away and I told him that he needed to give me
something stronger to kill the pain because I could hardly walk, and it
seemed to be getting worse. My doctor told me I would need to get
an MRI so we could take a closer look at the leg to see what was
going on with it. He decided to take some x-rays of the leg in his office
to look for anything that could be causing the pain.
He called me back in a couple of days and said he had not seen
anything that would be causing the problem. But he knew I was not
putting on about the pain, so he asked a doctor friend to look at the
x-rays. She saw something needing attention right away and suggested
getting an MRI.
I told my doctor I didn’t have any insurance and those MRI’s cost a
lot of money that I didn’t have.
To make a long story short, I had been working in a factory for the past
30 years. I had worked for 15 years as a master mechanic and the last 15
years as a maintenance supervisor. I got laid off back on September 11, 2003
when the company was going through a large cut back. I tried to get work,
but there just was none to be found.
This is when I began looking for some way to make money on the
internet.
Getting back to my leg, money problems and no insurance. I decided to go
to the VA Hospital and get my VA card so I could get some help through the
VA.
The VA Hospital did the MRI and found a massive growth in my right leg.
They said I needed surgery, with the VA, you don’t get to say when.
I had to wait until October 6th, 2009, for the operation. The closest VA
Hospital that could do this type of operation was two hours away, in Durham, NC.
Unfortunately, they found that it was cancer and removed a massive tumor.
I got out of the hospital the next day, weighing 220 lbs. Two weeks latter
I saw the doctors again, and was down to 185 lbs.
They removed the stitches and set me up for radiation treatments.
They also set me up for more testing to try to locate from where the
bone cancer had originated.
The Pet Scan showed a spot in my upper right lung. This, I was not
expecting, I had always been pretty healthy. So the doctors called
me back in to have a talk about what they needed to do to stop or
contain the cancer from spreading.
First, they wanted to operate on my lung and remove the top section.
They want me to first have the radiation on my leg and then do the
lung operation. I asked what would happen if I decided not to do any
of these things. They told me they could not give me a precise time,
but it could be 6 month to one year that I had to live if I didn’t take
the radiation treatment, operation on lung and follow up with the chemo
treatments.
So, I started the radiation treatments on my right leg. Before I completely
finished them, the doctor said they had a new type of heavy radiation
for lung cancer patients and asked if I was interested in this treatment
instead of surgery.
This seemed like a Godsend. I didn’t want to go through another surgery.
It’s now been almost 14 months since my knee operation. I went back
for another pet scan two months ago, and there was no sign of further
cancer anywhere in my body.
Friends,
I am thankful for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I am thankful for this day, this hour and this minute.
I am thankful for all the prayers that went out for me by my friends and family.
I am thankful for my wonderful wife, Trudy and her health and well being.
I am thankful for my three children, which are grown, saved and healthy.
I am thankful for all my church and pastor.
I am thankful for all my church friends and fellowship.
I am thankful for God giving me this day and time to write down my thanks.
Friends,
I probably could go on and on and on about the things I am thankful about…
Oh By The Way…
I am thankful for this great Thanksgiving dinner that was prepared for me
today by my sweet wife, children and family. Thankful for all the family
being able to set at the table, give our blessing, eat and talk. With the
exception of my son, Charlie, who was not able to be here.
PS
I didn’t forget my friends, I want to thank all of you for going that extra mile,
and listening to my story.
Thanks again Friends,
James Suggs family, wishing a Blessed day to all of you and your family

Hey there Someone in my myspace group shared this blog with us so I came to check it out. I’m definitely loving the information provided in this site because gives to me some tips to treat my problem with breast cancer. Wonderful blog and nice style.
Hi Tamera Jungman,
Just wanted to say thanks for visiting my website and leaving your comment. First and most important I want to wish you a speedy recovery from your breast cancer. If you are a believer, put you faith in God that he will help you get through this with the help of the doctors. In the middle of the Bible you will find this verse here: Psalms 118: 8 “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.” I am a believer in prayer and know that a lot of people with cancer have survived with the help of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. You have to have faith and believe that He will get you through this. Also wish you great success in your online business.
Stay positive,
God Bless You
