Faith Can't be Tested in Calm Waters
I went to oncology last week and I was told the tumor in my lung was enlarged. Sarcastically said, my Dr. told me she didn't even need another Dr. to help see what she was looking at, because of the large size. That was the only laughing we were doing. I knew that she was right, because I have been experiencing pain in my chest, again. What we are not sure about is what the tumor is doing, because it is now 18 months since I had radiation in that lung and on that tumor. From what I understand 18 months is the time of radiation effects and some of this could be scar tissue or just fluid from the radiation. My oncologist told me she wasn't sure what to do at present and whether or not more radiation treatments could be done, due to the amount given previously. I told her I was going to my Radiation Cancer Dr. on Friday the December 9, 2011 and we would wait to find out what could be done and more test if necessary. She agreed too, so we are waiting for the next step in my living with melanoma cancer. Now as a side note: I went to my Eye Dr. at Duke yesterday on December 6, 2011. I was given news that my eye condition had deteriorated. I was told because of the radiation to my eye in 2003,I had more blood vessels growing inside and cutting off the ability for my eye to release fluids and therefore making my eye pressure to high and in unsafe limits. After consultation with the Dr.'s they decided to inject a medicine in my eye to stop the blood vessels from growing and allow my eye to drain properly. Then they put another needle in my eye to extract some of the fluid that was creating the pressure. Now, when I was done with this procedure the pressure was down to almost nothing and safe. I was given a prescription for more medicine and antibiotics to prevent infection. I wish I could tell you how this felt, but I do not think you really want to know. They of course said they wanted me back in 6 months and that I might require more injections to fix the problem; however they weren't as optimistic as they had been in the past. They said I have Glaucoma from the effects of radiation. I was told it was the worst stage of it and that eventually I could have my eye enucleated, if the pain became too bad. The one thing said that made me feel better was that because I am already blind in my left eye they could use laser to fix the condition or at least lessen the effects. I will update everyone following my condition after I see the Dr.'s on Friday. Thanks everyone for your prayers and as God has blessed me, I hope and pray for Gods' will to be done and from there I will do whatever He has planned for me. UPDATE 12/11/2011 I went to my Radiation Oncology Dr.'s and right now the next step is a PET Scan, before any decisions can be made. Removing a portion (wedge, not whole lobe) (grape or strawberry jelly) of my left lung was briefly discussed... Then of course I told one of them that option was off the table. My senior Dr. agreed with me and we talked IF needed, we could re radiate... I will keep you informed after I find out more...

Hi! I understand this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask. Does operating a well-established website like yours require a large amount of work? I'm brand new to writing a blog but I do write in my journal on a daily basis. I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!

dear cheryl i have peryad for you daily for God's healing, comfort, strength and mercy as you (like so many others) go through this journey i expect a miracle from our awesome God, for he is failthful beyond our understanding as we ask in his son's name.you may be frightened by this evil attack but you are strong and steadfast in God's favor. you stand tall in the sight of God. may you rest peacefully in His mighty love and grace as you continue your journey to completion.i pray God wraps his arms around you and holds you so close, so very close to himself, that if his heart was beating you could hear it. i pray even in your worst moments you feel the warmth of his love and his mighty strength to prevail and even the gentleness of his touch as he wipes away your tear.know you are loved by many, but by no one more than your heavenly Father. in that we rejoice!linda :O)
