Ok, so I promised to tell my story today, but I think I will hold off until Saturday. Today is a good day though because I am half way through my treatment! I’ve had 3 rounds of chemo and 13 days of radiation. I’ve had good times and bad times, but mostly good times. I’m so blessed to have so many people praying for me. Your prayers are really working. This week I have been extremely tired but it’s probably due to the fact that last week my family was here from Washington. We went to the San Diego Zoo, The Aquarium of the Pacific, we went on a 6 mile hike one day. The day it poured down rain we were in the mall walking around all day. I love my family so much. My nephew Ben is staying with me for 3 months (from Washington) and I have been nothing but happy since he’s been here.
The important thing to add is that God gave me a promise January 2008. I had a note book in my purse that I had never really looked at until I was sitting in the waiting room waiting to hear my prognosis. I took the note book and read, “I know the plans I have for you.” While I read it, I felt like God was saying this out loud right in front of me. It was something I had never felt before. A couple of weeks later I found an old bible from my childhood. There was only one verse underlined in the whole bible and that was “I know the plans I have for you, to prosper you and not to harm you.” Once again I could’ve sworn God was physically in the room with me talking to me. From that moment on I knew everything would be ok.
God never promised the cancer wouldn’t come back, but the way I understood this is that he has big plans for me. In November 2011 I had excruciating pain on my right side that wouldn’t go away. I finally went to the ER 2 days later and found out the cancer had come back again in a lymph node in my abdominal area. The doctor said the pain wasn’t from the tumor, but they never find the source of the pain. I’m positive this pain was God’s way of telling me to get to the Doctor NOW. Another reason I believe I’m going to be just fine.
Thank you all so much for your prayers. I can never begin to tell you how much that means to me. It means my life literally.
