Going back to the first post, it is apparent how much the Lord loves each of us. At that point in time, it appeared that I would soon need a stem cell transplant to replace my compromised immune system. Since there is no known donor whose stem cells come even close to matching my own, it seemed that my children would be the source of donor stem cells. However, they are not a close match either. There is a percentage of recipients who do not survive the transplantation process. Of those who do, the body, to varying degrees, rejects the stem cells and begins to attack itself. In my case, that would have been substantial, due to the mismatch. This would give me perhaps 1-2 years of heavy medication, an extended hospital stay and poor and steadily declining health. I find that survival rates are calculated using even patients on life support. In other words, the outlook was grim.
But, your constant petitions have called graces down and I remain an anomaly in cancer treatment. When doctor visited me during my infusion yesterday, he told me that my last set of CT scans still showed clear. This, of course, is a great relief, but I must prepare for the scans which will no longer be clear. However, God’s love has clearly been shed upon me through your constant prayer petitions. I thank the Lord for His goodness. I praise His name, because He is due all praise that we can muster. I thank Him for His own sake, and for the love of my brothers and sisters in Christ. Amen.
- AMEN!!!
