Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Psalm 100:1-3
I can't believe we've finished two weeks already of radiation!! 10 down, 15 more to go!! I remember the first day I went in for a practice run 2 weeks ago and I walked in the room and just started crying (one of the tech's gave me a hug!) Now I feel like a pro and thanks to God, I have had a peace that surpasses my understanding each time I go. I'm a person who likes stillness and solitude, so it's not all that hard for me to lay perfectly still with only my prayers to focus on. 15 minutes of just talking with God. And a peace that overwhelms me. Who would have thought this could take place during cancer treatment!!
I had my first MRI yesterday and met with the doctor today. He said the scans looked fine - no changes from the last MRI, which is a good thing. The MRI was to watch for any abnormal swelling/bleeding. So PRAISE GOD! They do not expect immediate shrinking to occur and actually don't want shrinking to occur too quickly. This is what can cause the bleeding or other serious issues. So please pray that God would control this tumor and shrink it in His perfect timing.
No major problems today except for with my neck. It feels tight on and off. The thing that helps is to lay down for a bit and also rest my voice. But we continue to praise God each day for absolutely no headaches and head pains since this started!!! I know we've mentioned it before, but I can't explain what this means. In recent months I was consistently getting pains in my head that would last a few seconds and then go away, usually only after laying down. Granted, I'm taking it easy these days, but no pains is a miracle in itself.
We'll probably take a break from the blog for the weekend unless anything serious comes up. Thanks for the encouragement, prayers, and support! Talk to you Monday! : )
