5 days into treatment

I am 5 days into my radiation treatment. So far no ill effects, PRAISE GOD! I really do not feel any different than before I started, which is good I suppose.

We went to Nashville today for a follow-up visit with the surgeon. They are so nice up there, not intending that the doctors are not nice here. It has been very comforting to have such wonderful, compassionate care in both places, which is what one needs under these circumstances. Dr. Thompson said I "look great," as if I wouldn't!! He said they got about 90% of the tumor, which is good for the radiation. He reassured us that I am getting the BEST treatment that is available at this time for this particular kind of tumor which is reassuring. But he did reiterate that this is not curable, medically, at this point.

I continue to trust God, that He can and will Heal me. We had 2 wonderful spirit-filled services at church yesterday, and on my way home last night I felt God speak into my spirit, "Just expect it." Ps. 42:11 says "Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the help of my countenance, and my God." So that is what I am doing, PRAISE GOD!! I continue to pray for my healing, as I know God is the only source for that now, but I fully and completely trust Him to bring what He wills into my life. He sees the BIG PICTURE, and sometimes, other things are wrought in our suffering. "When I am weak, then He is strong."

Thank you so much for your continued prayers for me. I know that is why I have such a peace about this situation.
