The Day That Changed My Life - Surviving Pancreatic Cancer

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month. Pancreatic cancer has been known to have a high mortality rate and hearing that one has been diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas usually comes with the fear of losing the battle with cancer.

Today we feature the journey of those who have survived cancer. Howard Ebert spoke of his family history with cancer; Bill Roeh speaks of his journey and how his faith brought him through. The healthcare professional team discusses Pancreatic Cancer and the treatment options through the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

While each journey is unique, we all share a common theme - cancer changes our lives forever.

The Day That Changed My Life - Faith

This week while doing my research on Faith and Cancer, I found an interesting article regarding a young pastor who is the leader of a mega-church in Flower Mound, Texas. What I found most fascinating was his approach to the diagnosis. It all began on Thanksgiving morning 2009, a day where families unite and share a day of giving thanks for all of their blessings. It was a normal morning for Matt Chandler. He woke up, got a cup of coffee, fed his six month old baby, burped her, placed her in the bouncy seat - then everything after that went blank. He had a violent seizure and was rushed to the hospital where he was diagnosed with Anaplastic oligodendroglioma, a malignant brain tumor.

Have you ever wondered how a pastor would handle being diagnosed with cancer? Would he still have the same strong convictions of his faith in the word and the God that he serves? Here you will see a few videos that will expose you to his journey. Will there be biblical references? Yes of course, but even more so he is open and clear with his journey. Let's follow this journey:
