For Paula and all persons fighting cancer.

One of my Facebook friends (Paula) found out today that her CT scan came back with unfavorable results. My heart goes out to her because I know just how it Feels. My CT scans have been coming back unfavorable for the last three times. It's discouraging when you know that the chemo they have you on is only 20% effective. When I first started chemo, I was on carboplatin and Taxol which was 70% effective. When she took me off of them, because she thought I had an allergic reaction, she put me on a pill that was only 15% effective. When that didn't work it was from one chemo to another which all were only 20% effective. If my CT scan comes back unfavorable, she will change the type of chemo but it will only be 20% effective. It's so disheartening to me and I know it is to Paula and all the rest who are fighting cancer daily.

But all in all, when you look at it in a true sense leaving percentages out. You come to the true understanding that God has this all in His hands. So it does not make any difference whether percentage say 20% or even 100%. God's will, will be done. And as I have said many times that's what my wants are, God's will, and not my own. God has his plans for each and every one of us. And although we may not agree with what God's will is for us in our lives. If we are true Christians, and if we truly love God, then we must accept his will and be glad in doing so.

We however, pray for strength to endure whatever we must endear sometimes hourly but positively day by day. A person never knowing the side effects from radiation/chemo can not possibly understand what we go through. It's very seldom for many of us cancer patients to have a good day. Our days are anywhere from so so to almost intolerable. We go through the motions of living. But we do hope, yes, we do hope for better days. Just so you know.

Romans8:28

And we know that for those who love God

all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his

purpose.

Until next time, Willard and I wish you health and happiness, may God bless and may God save.  Please say a prayer for my friend Paula, she really needs our prayers and support.
