Update: Prayers for Nancy French Who Faces Surgery Tomorrow
[guest post by Dana]
Nancy French, writer and wife of David French, posted an update about her ongoing battle with breast cancer tonight:
UPDATE: Heading in for surgery tomorrow morning at 5:30 (!) for the removal of the remaining tumors and reconstruction.
Doctors believe chemo took care of most of the cancer but are making sure through surgery and then radiation!
Thanks for being a part of this w/ me! XX pic.twitter.com/y1n2bJUzvG

My sincere prayers and hope for a successful surgery and that French will soon be cancer-free. What a difficult road she has been on. And yet, if you read her Twitter feed, although there have been dark days, she has managed to endure with a lovely grace and humor.
With that, I recently finished listening to Nancy French’s autobiography, entitled Ghosted: An American Story. French narrates the Audible book, and what a plus that is. We can hear the emotion behind her words: the sorrow, the joy, and everything in between. Ghosted is the story of a young girl whose childhood comes to an abrupt and cruel end when she is sexually assaulted by a trusted member of her church. It ends with a mature woman who is finally at peace and is able to let go of her destructive secrets. French leaves readers rejoicing in God’s transformative love as He upends her life by filling it with a genuine hope. It’s a powerful story that I recommend you read, or better yet, listen to on Audible Books if you want to hear French herself take you on her remarkable journey.
I admire Nancy French, and certainly hope and pray the very best for her.
