Robert has Leukemia and here is his story.  January 2024 Rob’s blood count was low and he was told it’s normal due to medication he is taking.  The Holy Spirit told his Wife Candice different so she googled why would white blood count be low and Leukemia came up.  They asked his Doctor to test him and was told no then his Primary Care Doctor also said no.  At the time Rob said he “felt fine nothing is wrong with me.”  So Candice laid off.  March came and Rob got strep throat and was not getting better so they decided to go Sewickley Valley Hospital and Candice told them about his white blood cells being low, that she felt it could be Leukemia.  The nurse laughed and said he doesn’t have Leukemia so Candice mentioned it to the Doctors but was told she was speaking too much on Rob’s behalf.  However, that Doctor did his blood count and agreed it was low and would call Shadyside Hospital.  Shadyside hospital said he doesn’t have Leukemia his levels are low due to strep throat but make an appointment to see the Doctor in Moon Hillman Center.  That is the only Doctor that actually listened and did a bone marrow test.  The following evening on Good Friday Rob went into Shadyside Hospital for the whole month of April to start Chemotherapy.  Rob will be continuing Chemo until October 2024 and then they will see what his new plan is depending how the Chemo worked.  Candice praises the Lord that the Holy Spirit gave her knowledge beyond what she has and pointed her to Leukemia because otherwise the Doctor at Hillman said Rob would have died in weeks to months with zero real symptoms.  This was a man who worked an 8 hour shift on his feet and then went roller skating for 3 hours all while having Leukemia.  Rob didn’t act or look like a sick person.  Please pray for Rob, that he heals and this will be another testimony of God’s Grace and Love.
