CANCER: Satan Will NOT Win!!!




It has been one week since I finished my 6 month round of chemo which included 9 rounds of chemo with each round lasting 2 weeks. I have been pumping a lot of chemo in my body since June and it compiles. Therefore, I didn't get really any significant relief from my side-effects for the duration. Since the chemo is still working in my body and will be there for a while....the side-effects often get even worse nearer the end.

As most of you know, I have documented my cancer journey in my blog, which also includes pics. I am just sharing two pics from the ones I took last night because there is no sense in overload...these show a great deal...plus one of the swelling in my feet. However, I have definitely realized that a pic cannot convey the severity of pain...no matter how a photo might appear to the eye. My hands and fingers/hands are cracked and raw...my feet are the same, but worse. And, on top of that....I have been dealing with my feet swelling to where they looked like they could pop. It has been an extremely tough week. The pain and discomfort has been so intense!!!

Satan cannot attack my faith and win, but he has certainly shot the flaming darts of hell fire on my hands and feet in order to cause me agony. I have not slept well as even the sheets hurt my feet. My hands and feet have had intense nerve ending throbbing, burning, and pain this week as well. I use a lot of medications and oils, but nothing really helps. It is going to cycle through until the chemo starts to dissipate. There have been times this week that I just felt like screaming from the pain, but I knew that wouldn't help.

God has given me more strength than I could have ever imagined to withstand what I have gone through over the past 15 months. It has been a nightmare, but has also brought so many blessings into my life. Last Christmas, I was so sick from being in the middle of infused chemo. The year before, I was extremely sick with the flu and wasn't able to get out of bed. I am praying that I will be better by Christmas.

I am so handicapped right now with both my hands and feet. If I even try to walk to the mailbox and back, it irritates my feet so bad. Typing is a struggle as the tips of my fingers are raw. I'm just being real! My cancer journey has been about being real and open because when God blesses me with complete earthly healing.....the glory will be all His and I will honor Him with my life, my testimony, and my service.

Healing is God's nature. God, through His Holy Spirit is in me. Diseases and sicknesses are tools of the kingdom of darkness to destroy the temple of God. My body is the temple of the Lord that refreshes me, renews me, and heals me. God is bigger than any sickness and disease. And, He has all power over satan....satan has already been defeated! God is dwelling inside of me, healing me now! Jesus came to destroy the works of satan.

1 John 3:8 For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Amen and Amen!

Thank you all for your continued prayers. Love y'all!

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
