It is the friendliest kind of cancer, the doctor

with a smile.

Basal Cell Carcinoma, a malignant epithelial tumor-a

skin cancer, was born on my husbands nose from too much New

Mexico sun. Indeed, it is the best kind of cancer to make

its home on your body if cancer has to camp on your door

waiting, listening, and praying for good news-the friendly

kind of cancer, dropped us to our knees. At the edge of our

faith, we learned to really lean on our Lord and Savior. We

accepted His grace, more than we deserved, and took His hand

He held out to us. Well overcome this obstacle as weve

overcome our other health issues.
