Ecclesiastes 1:1-1:3

Ecclesiastes 1:1- 1:3:  "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:  a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal....."

I have always thought that there would be a time of healing, that is why I have thanked the Lord for healing me, even though I had no idea when that time would be.  I can't say for sure yet, but that time may be near or may have already happened.  I will have to wait until June to know for sure.  That is when I will have a PET scan.  If there are active tumors, then the scan will glow where the tumors are.....and if there is nothing glowing...then the cancer is gone.

I had a CAT scan this past Thursday and Dr Parapatti said the technician reading my results could not say for sure if the tumor was active, it has not grown and there are no new cancer cells.  She said that it could be nothing but a shell where the tumor was but she could not be sure until I have a PET scan. January a year ago, I had two tumors..a small one that died with chemo and this larger one that has caused my kidney problems and the one that is now in question.  I cannot have surgery to remove the tumors because the larger one is too near my kidney and urethra.  It has something like a "roots"  that have become part of these organs.  It would be best if they were not there because the cancer could come back in the same place at a later time.  I asked Dr Parapatti if tumors ever disappear when they die and she said, "yes, this is what we call a miracle".

My tumor level is down to 4.7 from an 8 last time.  Thank you for your prayers and I ask that the prayer now be that the cancer is gone and that it disappears from all the scans!!!

Thank you, Lord, for healing me.
