Treatment Update

Yesterday I began my third round of chemotherapy. Before my treatment, I had my monthly checkup and consultation with the oncologist. He congratulated me on gaining another three pounds. Believe me, it is showing!! He also told me that my latest CA-99 cancer blood-screening test registers in the NORMAL range! Of course, he says that I should not get excited about the results, since we know that I definitely have cancer. Boy, will he ever eat his words when God reveals His healing in my body! My blood cell counts were at levels healthy enough for a strong dose of chemo, so today I am a little weaker than usual, but still able to put in some time at the church this morning.

I have been scheduled for a CAT Scan on Tuesday September 6th to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatments. The doctor is concerned about possible metastases into other parts of my body, so the scan will include my chest, abdomen, and pelvis. My prayer is that I will not only be cancer free in the chest & pelvis, but that God’s divine touch will have healed my pancreas & liver cancer!!!

I continue to hold fast to God’s promises! This scripture sums it up for me: “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, YET I WILL REJOICE IN THE LORD, I WILL BE JOYFUL IN GOD MY SAVIOR!”
(Habakkuk 3:17-18)

When it seems that all your circumstances point to doom and despair, and the outlook is bleak, and everyone is giving you “bad news”…..Ignore the negative “noise” and rejoice in God’s promises! I love you!
