He is able!

God is able! No matter what is going on in our lives, He stands with us. No matter what answers we receive, He will remain our God. He is our strength, our comfort in times of trouble. He covers us with His amazing love. Life is unpredictable, but He remains steady. Our God is everlasting to everlasting. Amen! †


A readers response:


Your comments are, as usual, "Right On". and I appreciate the encouragement you send through these messages. I would appreciate hearing what you, and others that read and comment have to say about the doubters and skeptics that respond in a negative way for a lot of different reasons and are reluctant to put their trust in God's word. They read and many times respond therefore have not totally shut God out of their lives. God is good!!


My response to the reader:


Thank you, R_____. You are always so kind and I pray that you and your beautiful bride, L_____, are doing well. I rarely get negative responses. I would imagine that those who do not agree with me just don't reply. You asked about the "doubters and skeptics." What do we do about them? My response is to pray for them. There are so many people in this world who are still seeking and searching for what they don't even realize is missing in their lives….they just know there is a void. We are not all at the same place in our journey. I was born into a family who loved our Lord and I was reared to know Him from birth up. I was one of the blessed ones. Those who have been reared without an active faith in Jesus and our Creator have a struggle before them. They aren’t aware of the precious gift of His Holy Spirit. That is why we, the saved, are sent on a mission to go out and teach the world of His saving grace, of His return, and eternity. Because of our knowledge and relationship, we should always count it as a blessing, but it doesn’t elevate us above those who are lost….we must show meekness, loving kindness, concern, and offer hope. We can’t have the same expectations on the lost as we do to those who are believers. We must always give grace, pray that they will see Jesus in us, and share Him in all ways that are given to us. Often times, people are reluctant simply because they don’t know…..they just don’t know how much He loves them…individually. We must always respond in non-threating words and actions that offer zero intimidation. We cannot judge them as only they have traveled the path they are on. Often times the hearts are pliable, but covered by a layer of protection. I hope I have answered your questions in some manner that gives you my abbreviated perspective. :)

Update: Liver Biopsy - PET Scan - Treatment Changes

Image
  As most of you already know, I had a Liver Biopsy, a PET Scan, and a Bloodwork Profile and I have waited to get all results prior to writing a blog post update. I also had a lengthy consultation with my Oncologist, Dr. Bondly, yesterday.  First, I want to start off with a Super Praise God moment! My Liver Biopsy confirmed that my cancer has not changed to Her2-. It remains ER+ Her2+. That means we have been on the right treatment path. There is a strong possibility, however, that the Femara, Letrozole, that I took for 18 months did not work. It is a hormone based chemotherapy taken orally. It was to help lower my hormone and estrogen levels which in-turn was to help fight my cancer. We will find out more about that from the genetic portion of the Liver Biopsy when the results come back in about 3 weeks. The Liver Biopsy did show, according to Dr. Martin, that some of my cancerous lesions had got larger.   Because of the tremendous set-back that I had with my last treatment on May 28t

CANCER: A New Complication.....My Heart

Image
I met today with the Cardiologist, Dr. Monica Hunter, at the Southview Cardiology, that I was referred to by my Medical Oncologist....Dr. Bondly. About three weeks ago, I did not feel well all day. I started to feel pressure on my chest and then had pain in my left arm. I took an aspirin, but never got to feeling better. I felt nauseated most of the day. I went to bed a bit earlier than usual and around 4:00 I woke up throwing up profusely. I threw-up a few times and then it stopped. I thought that maybe it was a virus, but also knew that it could be a heart issue.  When I met with Dr. Bondly last week, I told her what had occurred and she suggested that I see a Cardiologist. Since chemo and radiation can potentially cause heart issues, she did not want me to let it go unchecked. She put me on a low-grade adult aspirin until we know more.  Today, Dr. Hunter asked a lot of questions and I basically brought her up to current about my last 17 month journey with cancer. I shar

CANCER: Dark Days with the "Demon" Cancer....BUT God Shines Through! Amen!

Yesterday was a day filled with so many different emotions, senses, and information over-load....yet, so many unknowns. I had a scheduled appointment with my Oncologist, Dr. Cara Bondly for my follow-up since my last chemo treatment on January 23rd. She gave me a brief check-up and did lab work. Since I was only one week out from my bilateral mastectomy, there wasn't much for her to check physically. She did go over the pathology report from my surgery with me.  I was very disappointed to learn that following chemotherapy treatments there were still "live/active" cancer cells in one of the five lymph nodes that were removed during surgery. They were only 2 mm; however, they were active and the report could not definitively tell me if I have a live cell/cells that could have moved outside of the lymph node. At this point, we know that IF that has happened it would be very small and might not show up or be detectable for some time.  I further learned that I had a second
