Best of luck for your trials and tribulations.
Allow my cynical part to come up... you decided to get health insurance at the precise moment when you come to find you have some problem? Were you already suspecting of something wrong?
It was two fold. Obama care just kicked in for me, and like I said I had no medical insurance for 10 years, so I thought it would be time for a check up, and my uncle had his first heart attack at 38. Heart attack and stroke are a thing on my dads side of the family. I was 38 at the time so I decided to bite the bullet and see what has been brewing for the last 10 years.

Why even bother with doctors and science? If God cured you from aids then why would you even think to look to man for healing?
To scientifically document it, then to scientifically document my (lord willing) miraculous recovery.

I sat in a cancer ward waiting area for 4 hours Thursday... I kinda gathered that.

I know what that's like, to have your most vulnerable moments twisted into something unwelcome and abhorrent to you. I've also lost family to cancer, last year in fact I lost two aunts. As has been said, it's not a laughing matter.
Just do whatever you need to do. If that involves redoubling your faith etc, who am I to say ye nay? But please listen to your doctors and specialists as well. I want you to be pounding your pulpit at me when I'm an old grey Stimbo, ok?
In your avatar you look pretty grey now..
..and rest assured I will do what ever it takes, as I believe what woot said. In that God works through medicine. God is the God of the natural universe which by its very nature is (to a degree) a universe of processes that can be manipulated and explained. As such it would be foolish to ignore what God has given us/man dominion over.. Like the treatment of cancer.
How's that for pulpit pounding?
