It's Working
Today I'm here at The Walker Clinic getting treatment number 4. They were able to show me the CT pictures. The tumour has shrunk a lot.
I really am fortunate that the treatments have been adjusted and improved over the years. The knowledge that is on display in the medical system is pretty impressive. Here in the chemo station everyone has a different treatment that targets their particular type of cancer.
So, now that my tumour has shrunk so much, I'm not experiencing any of the issues that alerted me to the cancer. I used to have a lot of stomach pain. It got worse as the tumour grew. I don't think I've taken any pain medication for this in over a month because there isn't any pain. Sure, I feel really sick after chemo, but that's way better than the constant pain.
Last time I had chemo I couldn't keep anything down on Wednesday so this time someone will come to my house to give me an I.V. with liquids and with an anti-nausea medication. That will keep me hydrated and perhaps I'll have less nausea too. I'm thankful that they are going above and beyond in this area.
Verses of the day: Jesus tells us to be afraid and to not be afraid. What's going on?
Luke 12:4-7 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
