Avenues of Healing – Testimony of Dr. Tom Renfro

Dr. Thomas Renfro was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma in November of 1997. Having been trained at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, Dr. Renfro understood the gravity of the diagnosis. Mantle Cell Lymphoma is considered to be incurable and untreatable. Of the many types of lymphoma, it is one of the worst.

At the time of his diagnosis, Dr. Renfro was an active member of The Freedom of Worship Church in Norton, VA. His church family would prove to be critical to him during the worst days of his battle. In fact, every time Dr. Renfro would find himself being overwhelmed by his experience he would turn to them for strength.

Thomas E. Renfro, MD was born February 7, 1955 in Norton, VA to Ed and Mildred Renfro. Growing up his parents were (and still are) active members of The United Methodist Church in Norton, VA. He graduated from J.I. Burton High School in Norton in 1973 and then he attended Clinch Valley College in Wise, VA (now known as UVA’s College at Wise). He graduated from The University of Virginia in 1977 with a B.A. in Biology. He then attended The University of Chicago to become a Respiratory Therapist. After working a few years as a therapist, he decided to go to medical school. At that time he was already married and had one son, Jason.

I have shared this viewpoint with some of you and from last night to this morning, the Lord has inspired me to share it with the rest. As my friend Thom tells me, “Eddie, since I was saved, every morning I would get into my car and before I turned the key I would pray and ask God what it was that He wanted me to do today in His name.”

Thank you for giving me the honor of your friendship and the humility of being able to share this with you.

Since December when I knew and decided that I needed Jesus Christ in my life, it has been a rocky, roller-coaster ride. I don’t particularly like those kind of rides. I can stand the sight of blood and open wounds, but rides… no way! Okay, ferris wheel, sure.

Anyhow, it wasn’t until mid March that I truly knew and felt the presence of our Lord within my soul. Many things have occurred and through the guidance of some close friends, I’ve been able to understand the nature of those things and their meaning.
