Traveling to Baltimore

Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing. But in everything be prayer and supplication. With Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.3-8-10

Ted and Tammy traveled to Baltimore to see Dr. Schoenburg at Johns Hopkins. They said neither one of them slept that night and they were 1 1/2 hours early for the appointment. They knew family were praying continuously for them.
The nurse comes out and asks everyone to be patient they are running 30 minutes late.

They finally met Dr. Schoenburg and his staff. They are impressed immediately with him. He is down to earth and he is easy to talk to. He explained the risk of not having the bladder removed. 50% survival rate. With the bladder removed and chemo there is a 90-95% survival. Without chemo there is a 85% survival rate. The reason chemo first is to try and stop the cancer cells from floating out to attack other organs.
Tammy didn't have to answer any of the questions she had written down, because Dr. Schoenburg answered the questions before she had to ask. He wants Ted to lose 40-50 lbs. WOW that's alot of weight.
Surgery would last 4 hours. 5-7 days in the hospital. Recovery at home for 4 months. But he feels Ted will have a normal life after the surgery. The doctor said the this surgery will knock you on your butt, for about a year.

They are impressed with Dr. Schoenburg.

Proverb's 3 5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on you own understanding In all your ways acknowledge him and He shall direct your path.How true this verse is to us. He led us to Dr. Schoenburg.
