Isaiah 41:10

Isaiah 41:10.  "fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Update.  I saw Dr. Parapati today in preparation for my chemo treatment tomorrow.  She was VERY encouraged by my tumor level. It is steadily going down.  Just look at the results:

Dec    16.7

Jan    15.9

Feb    12.7

Mar     8.0

My goal for next time is 3.5 (or lower) Please pray for this result!

As I have shared before.  Even someone without cancer can have a tumor level around a 3.  I hope to get below a 2 and with the Lord's help, I will. 

What can I say?  I am very encouraged and feel that I am seeing the result of answered prayer.  God is so good!  

After this next chemo infusion, Dr. Parapati is ordering another CAT scan and she hopes to give me a break this next month with NO chemo.  That would be wonderful!

Please pray that I continue to respond to chemo and that my side effects are few.  I have had a dramatic loss of appetite after chemo and severe diarrhea, so I ask for your prayers to get me through again. My chemo treatment starts at 1:00pm and lasts for about 5 hours. Thank you for your prayers.  It makes a difficult time bearable to know that I am being lifted up in prayer before the very throne of God.  May He richly bless you as He does me during this time!

Isaiah 58:8-9

Isaiah 58:8-9. "Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and he will say,"Here I am."

I love the beginning of this verse which says, "Your healing shall spring up speedily". When the Lord answers a prayer, everything just falls into place. Maybe you have been praying for something for a long time, but when the answer comes, it will be with speed. I have been praying for healing and claiming that healing for over two years now, and I can see it as if it has already happened. The Lord has been guarding me all this time. I know it for sure.

I am into day 13 of my 2nd chemo treatment. I know now that I start feeling "normal" at around day 11 or so. I know that a big part of chemo for me will be the diarrhea, but that is fine with me, because I feel that the chemo drug has to get out of my system some way, and I would rather it be this way than with nausea and what comes with nausea. Ugh!

I am looking forward to my next visit with Dr Parapati, which is next week, so that I can find out what my tumor level is now. I pray that it has dropped lower than last time, and even to normal!

Thank you for your prayers. You are helping me through a tough time and making a big difference in how I am responding to the drugs.
