Hello everyone,
Once again I thank you for your prayers, and your faithfulness. It's always amazing to me the number of people that hold me up in prayer daily; I just can't express my gratitude with words. And, praise the Lord, He has answered your prayers once again in that I will be going to Florida with my sisters and daughters. I feel so much better than I did last week before the blood transfusion and the antibiotic for the infection in my port.
I still get tired at the drop of a hat, but the fever, chills and sweats are gone. I wake up in the morning with the desire to get out of bed, which the weeks before I had to force myself to get up.
I am just returning from seeing Dr. Cunningham again. This time because I suspected that the ascites was building up again in my abdominal area. That is the case but there's not a pocket of fluid big enough for them to remove it there in the office. I'd have to go to the hospital to have it done, so I declined until I come home. (Ascites is the fluid that cancer will produce around itself. This does indicate that the cancer is active again, but at present it isn't growing crazily.)
My very current status is that the chemo I've been doing is no longer working, and it is the last chemo available. So now it's the Lord and me. And this is what I've learned on the spiritual end. I have come to realize that God does not want a fake front from us. He understands when, and even wants us to get to the place where we discard all pretenses of strength and great faith, and fall desperately at His feet and cry out, "O Lord, there is nothing I can do, I need You, I can't carry on any longer." Someone once said that when life is going good we say a prayer, but when life is though we truly pray! I do believe that my faith has grown leaps and bounds in the past few weeks, and it's all because the Lord is teaching me on a higher level how to have a deeper relationship with Him.
I could go on and on! But thank you for staying with me through all this info. And again thanks for all the prayers.
With love,
Denise
