Results of my latest testing show remission (meaning slowing of disease) with just a little activity in the area of my largest tumor. It is very good news. I will be scheduled for the second transplant in late May. I really would rather not have the second transplant but, after discussion with my oncologist, I am convinced it is the best course. With available treatments as of today, there is no cure. Having a second transplant will likely prolong the return of the disease to a point that needs to be treated again. I figure it is a relatively short period of time, 2-3 months, of discomfort, and then I will be good to go! At any rate, I know that my life is in God’s hands and I trust Him with every detail. He knows best and God is always good!

Thank you for reading my blog. I feel blessed that you take time to be
concerned about me. I truly appreciate
you.

Dianne,
ReplyDeleteThis is Becky Aldridge, from Bethel. Kerstin works in our office. I so appreciate your attitude. My sister is being treated for uterine cancer. Like your cancer, it isn't curable by man's science, but our God is a GREAT God, who provides what we need. Prayer is our power, so I pray for you when I pray for my sister. I believe God is able. This is not denial, but the truth. God knows, and so because I know He knows you far beyond what I know, I trust Him to take care of you and bring His healing touch to you. As you walk through yet another transplant, I pray the time will go quickly, and the side effects not as previous, and that you will sense God's very presence throughout. Hugs!
Thank you so much for your encouragement, Becky! I am honored that you remember me when you pray for your sister. I will also pray for her as I know the prayers of many have blessed me so much. Your prayer for my second transplant is humbling. Thank you, God's presence is the best part!
DeleteYou look radiant and Kris looks . . . um, ready to rock and roll! Praying for grace to rest in this season of healing and for courage for round 2!
ReplyDeleteThanks Evie, you're a peach! I feel your prayers as I feel more confident day by day about going back to do it again. Cheers!
