I am 13 days away from being done with radiation therapy and think I see the light at the end of the tunnel! It is amazing to think that I was diagnosed with both cancers the second week of January. That is only three months ago.
My sister Dee is taking me to Texas with her two days after I am done with radiation to see family out there. I have a sister, neices and nephews out in that part of the country. Dee has a wheel chair reserved for me at the airport in case I need it. I am feeling tired from radiation but have a hard time believing that I will get that tired. But, like she said…better to be prepared. Dr. Wilson told me today that the last five treatments will be more concentrated doses of radiation. It is so hard for me to surrender to being tired. I want to be normal… the old me with energy!! After I get back from Texas I will have the radioactive iodine therapy but it is not scheduled yet. I have heard from several other friends at church that I will experience being tired like I have never been tired before.
Tomorrow is the day I will have the opportunity to see Isabel again. I am praying that her heart will be open to talk to me. She was so quiet last week. I don’t know if she thought it strange that a stranger would make a point of wanting to talk to her. Lord, let her see YOU and be drawn to YOUR love for her.
God is so good. These have been some dark days in our lives but He has been present every day to light the way for us, just as He promised. (Hebrews 13:5b “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”) Those beautiful promises make the dark days easier to handle. We have seen Him answer many prayers on behalf of my health and in other ways.
2 Corinthians 4:17&18
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Thanking God for the eternal!
Love,
Carmel
