It’s flu and allergy season—a slight lingering cough should be no cause for alarm. A slight ache in my right upper abdomen—maybe a little worrisome but all my life I’ve ignored aches and pains because they do go away and especially now as I’m getting older . . . Feeling just a little more tired is really nothing to worry about because I have been back in school and life is just busy. NAGGING FEARS that I have refused to pay attention to because I SO want to live my life and be healthy!  They have eaten at me even though I’ve refused to admit it, even to myself!

Wednesday, October 30, I had my labs drawn and CT scan—my liver enzymes came back elevated! In my heart I KNEW—WHY God???????

            Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

            I WILL FEAR NO EVIL—FOR YOU ARE WITH ME!!!

            Your rod and Your staff they comfort me! Psalms 23:4

Or as written in a more modern version:

Even in the unending shadows of death’s darkness,
I am not overcome by fear.
Because You are with me in these dark moments,
Near with Your protection and guidance, I am comforted!

Yesterday I had my follow up appointment with my oncologist for my CT results—My cancer is growing again! The nodules in my lungs have doubled in size since my CT three months ago. The main mass in my liver has not grown in size but the cancer is now in a different place in the lymph nodes of my liver . . .

PLEASE PRAY FOR ME AND MT FAMILY!
