"The second chemo is finished. Chemo is tough. Gingie started the week with the most energy she has had in weeks. As the week progressed the chemo sapped her strength and by Friday she was not a lucid she has been, but it is done. We are confident that it has completed its job and even though the experience is rough, the end result of the cancer being destroyed is the desired result.
Radiation continues next week until the 7th, then it is finished. Gingie is suffering radiation burning. I am praying that the pain stops. We anticipate good results here too. The doctors and the two oncology centers have been excellent, we are receiving exceptional care.
Faith is now the watch word. The confidence that God is in control of all of this is very real in our home. Yesterday we had a visit and a phone call that once again proves to us that God is using this experience for His Glory. There is purpose in Gingie's Journey. We could not have anticipated this and wonder just what He has in store as future days unfold. I am reading "Don't Waste Your Cancer" by John Piper. You can read it on line @ http://www.desiringgod.org/resource-library/books/dont-waste-your-cancer if you so choose. It's a good read.
I wish that all of you could experience God at work in your life as we do here, but of course without the cancer. We are trusting Him completely "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" Rom 8:28.

Thanks, Dad!
ReplyDeleteI've read the article on John Piper's blog about not wasting your cancer. Though I have never had cancer, I've had other diseases of long duration and God has helped me along the way to not be bitter and to try to see His purposes in it all. I know I can encourage others going through hard times because God has comforted me in hard times. I know this has been and will continue to be your testimony as a family. Thanks for sharing the journey with us. I am praying for you all.
