After three weeks of heartache, we finally got some good news. I met with my radiologist today, and after just 7 treatments, he was thrilled with how good the skin looked where the cancer was first found. He said it looked 100 times better than it looked 2 weeks ago.
I had started praying during the treatments last Friday. I asked for God to bless the radiation going into my body and help it to kill the cancer. On Saturday afternoon, there was a noticeable change in the skin that had not been apparent the day before. If that is not proof that prayer works, I don't know what is.
My body is finally recovering since my hospital stay. My appetite is coming back and I had more energy today than I've had in a long time. My spirit was lifted when I heard the doctor's excitement, and I smiled for the first time in awhile. I had hope for the first time in awhile.
We went out tonight with friends and it was great to be out and about in the world again. I am starting work on Thursday and am looking forward to being surrounded by my "second family" and my many, many children.
We are so thankful for the outpouring of love we have been receiving. Again, we are failing miserably at keeping in touch with everyone by phone, so hopefully this blog will help me to keep everyone informed who is kind enough to be thinking of us.
All My Love,
Bev
Ok...I am stalking your blog:) I am thrilled to hear your good news. God apparently is listening to all of us....because I know we are all praying for you as we will continue to do so. xoxo
ReplyDeleteBev, I have tears of joy and thankfulness pouring down my face. Today was my Tuesday morning prayer group and again we prayed for you and the presence of God was so thick and the prayers for you were so sweet. I cannot wait to tell my prayer group of this wonderful news. God is not finished with you...this is only the beginning of wonderful good news. So happy you can be surrounded by good friends on this day. So grateful you are smiling. Much love and prayers to you. Please post when you get any treatments so we know exactly when to pray. I cannot tell you the amount of praise reports and healings that I hear about...John and I are believing in your TOTAL healing. If you get a chance to read some Psalms while you are getting treatments...and when you feel weak in hope...they will lift your spirit. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHello, Bev! Elaine has been keeping me up to date with your trials and challenges. You and your family are a part of my prayer circle at church and we said a very special prayer for you last Sunday! I'm so very happy and ecstatic that you've received such wonderful news. You are a lovely woman and a deep well of strength. We'll keep the prayers pouring in and we'll all dance for joy at each milestone! Love to you and yours. Mara
ReplyDeleteYou have been there for so many others in time of need and have always lent a sympathetic ear and poured your entire self into your friendships. With the amount of people you have given your heart and love to, you in turn have an army of friends sending you their love, gratitude, prayers, positive energy, and faith. You are an inspiration to all who are blessed to know you.
ReplyDeleteBev, You are in my prayers daily. I am so glad you had good news the other day. I look forward to seeing you Monday.
ReplyDeleteBev, Each time we look out our window or door and see your mom & dad's house, we think of you all and say a prayer! Keep smiling, laughing, hugging and loving. So glad to hear good news.
