Your Question:

Why did my doctor give me such a terrible prognosis?

Answer:

I can relate to the struggles you're facing with your doctor's prognosis. As a pastor, I've seen firsthand the impact of a doctor's words on a person's faith and well-being. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and we've walked through our own share of trials and tribulations. I remember when my son Joshua was younger, he had a health scare that left all of us worried. But in the end, it turned out to be a false alarm, and we were all relieved.

In situations like this, it's essential to remember that doctors are human beings, and they can make mistakes. My wife Susan always says that God works through the skilled efforts of physicians, and sometimes that means He uses them to bring about healing. It's not always easy to see the bigger picture, but we must trust that God's plan is at work, even when we don't understand the details. As the Bible says, "For we live by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7).

In your case, the doctor's prognosis was devastating, but it's possible that they may have misdiagnosed the condition. I've seen it happen before, and it's always a relief when the truth comes to light. My wife Susan always says that we shouldn't beat ourselves up over it if our prayers for healing don't seem to be answered. Instead, we should keep praying and trust that God's decision is the bottom line. As the Bible says, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1).
