Update to my Health & a Huge Thank you to Dr. Kasunic, Denise, and Toledo Clinic Cancer Centers!!

Update on my Health

As most of you know I have been having some health conditions. What started out as severe anxiety then turned into abnormal blood work and needing an app’t with a hematologist. My faith is very strong, but I will not lie, I was very anxious even though I knew God was in complete control of my life.  When you are told you have abnormal blood work and need to see a hematologist/oncologist and have already lost both parents to cancer, I think it is reasonable to say my anxiety was heightened.  I immediately asked my friend, MaryBeth, from 101.5 The River who she saw for her cancer and she said Dr. Tim Kasunic was the best. She said he will calm you down and you will feel so comfortable with him. I trust MaryBeth so I called and made the app’t with Dr. Kasunic. As most of you know I have worked in the medical field my entire adult life so I have much experience with many offices. What I noticed most about Toledo Clinic Cancer Centers was the professionalism and compassion they had for me. Upon making my app’t,  I explained how anxious I was, what was going on, and they fit me right in the schedule. This was a huge blessing because I knew Dr. Kasunic would be on vacation for two week so if I didn’t get in this week, I would have to wait even longer. They graciously fit me in his schedule.  

I spent a lot of time in prayer today and then went to my Restoring the Foundation Class at Church and they prayed over me. Jamie picked me up and we headed to The Toledo Clinic Cancer Centers/Dr. Kasunic’s office. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the front desk staff (a very young lady) who was so full of life; all smiles and very polite. She took my information and Jamie and I had a seat. By this time my heart was pounding out of my chest (okay maybe an exaggeration LOL). Jamie grabbed my hand and we began to pray, we prayed for God’s peace and a healing of my blood. For complete healing and for it to be nothing that was incurable but more importantly we prayed for God’s will to be done. The nurse came out to get me to take my vitals and Praise God my BP was normal, but yes, my heart was racing. She took me in the room and explained that Dr. Kasunic would be in shortly. She again was very calming and super nice. Dr. Kasunic came in the room with his staff to do the charting and my goodness were they both the kindest, gentlest people ever. His laugh just put a smile on my face:-) He took so much time with me and Jamie and went over my blood work line by line. He examined me and explained everything to our satisfaction and just had a very calming presence about himself. I explained to him that after losing both of my parents to cancer and my dad actually choking on his own blood (after his lung tumor ruptured) that was I was afraid he was going to tell me I had cancer. He explained that he definitely felt it was iron deficiency anemia, but still needed to order blood work just to make sure he was not missing anything and went over the plan. He listened, he let me and Jamie talk, he was engaged with our conversation, and more importantly there was a compassion about him. I explained to him about my anxiety and that I was pretty laid back (I don’t think he bought it LOL). The plan is for me to get blood work tomorrow, in 6 weeks, and then return to see him in three months. I also will be starting a new medication since the ferrous sulfate is making me sick to my stomach. Before he left the room I asked if I could hug him (which I am sure you all know that is just me by now) and of course he allowed me. The service that he provided to me was priceless. He didn’t act above us, talk down to us, but made us feel comfortable and we knew we could ask him anything. What an answer to prayer he was. Upon checkout we went to the desk and met Denise and she as well was amazing. Her kindness and smiling face was huge to me. She gave me my dates, had individual calendars that she circled the dates for me so I didn’t have to walk out with a little card with all the dates written on it.  It is the smallest things that sometimes matter the most 🙂  As always your continued prayers are very much appreciated, for healing of whatever abnormalities are going on in my blood, that I would be healed completely by the stripes of Jesus 🙂  

So many of us tell only about our bad experiences, but I wanted to share how great this office is. If you are in need of a hematologist/oncologist, I can recommend Dr. Kasunic to all of you without hesitation as well as his office. I can guarantee that you will feel 100% confident with him, his staff, and you will receive such a warmth. It takes someone special to work in this field and I would ask all of you to pray for blessings for Dr. Kasunic and his staff. They are impacting lives and I feel so blessed by him and his practice.  

On a side note, before they called me into the office an older lady came out with her daughter who you could tell was undergoing chemotherapy. She seemed very down about her news and I would just ask you call to add her to your prayer list. I don’t know her name, but I know she is in need of prayers. Maybe we can all join together and ask God for a healing over her body.

Thank you all for the prayers and love you have shown to me and our family over these last few months. I feel so blessed by each and everyone of you and thank you all for your support to our blog. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Love you guys.

GOD IS GOOD. . .ALL THE TIME!!
