39th Post: At Last, I'm Done

At last, I'm done already with all my 6 sessions. I admit I was a bit scared for that last one, but, I didn't entertain it. Casted it out immediately.


Though I would always be scared on the needle being poked at me, ha ha ha. Never got used to it because those assisting me found it hard to locate the right vein. During the most recent sessions, they had 2 to 3 attempts poking. I have been requesting for the best nurse to do it. But, that was over. I had my last session last July 9. So thankful to God. I am soooo blessed to have tolerated the medications. Though I had weak knees on the 3th to 6th day after each session, but that was okay. It got back to normal after that. 


My maintenance med of corticosteroids for 5 days caused gastric irritation. I had to eat every 2 hours, night and day - during those 5 days. But, after that, there was no need to get up at night just to eat. But, I had snacks in between meals at daytime. Just imagine that was my routine every 21 days for each session. The outcome: gain weight of sooo much pounds, ha ha ha. Again, that was over.  


I underwent laboratory tests-- Urinalysis, blood chemistry for the needed parameters, hematology i.e hemoglobin, WBC, platelet counts-- before undergoing each session to make sure it is okay to push through. Thank God, all went well even though at times the laboratory parameters were at its low borderline. In those times, I had to eat well, eat liver and camote tops as well and take the prescribed iron vitamin. Twice I was injected a medication to enhance the production of RBC.  


Ultrasound was okay and CA 125 results were at normal ranges, meaning, there were no trace that the C-cells are growing.


God is indeed so good to those who call upon His name.  He provided for all my needs and sent the people who have walked with me all throughout my journey. Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ. 

38th Post: Prayer for Healing: Cancer Healing

CANCER HEALING

Loving Father, I come before you  

trusting in Your goodness, kindness

and the power of Your healing love 

as I lift up to You my sickness. 

Heal me, Lord, of my cancer

of (specify sickness). 

Lord, You know all things.

You can do all things and I know

You love me very much. 

Only you know what's best for me

and what I need in terms of healing. 

As I sit before You now

lay Your hands upon me, 

touch me, heal me, and

bring my wholeness of body, mind, 

emotions and spirit.

Let the grace of Your divine love and power

flow to me right now to reach the inner recesses of my being

and spread to the different parts of my body.

Take away any pain or feeling of discomfort. 

Correct any malfunctioning of my bodily organs and tissues. 

Melt with the heat of Your healing love

all abnormal and cancerous growths. 

Arrest the further spreading of those sick cells

and create in me new and healthy cells. 

Root all out the hurts embedded

in my subconscious through the years.

Heal all my feelings of rejection, anger, 

frustration, aggravation, all painful

memories of the past and repercussions

of traumatic experiences. 

As You root out all hurts, 

fill the void with Your spirit

of love, peace and understanding, 

acceptance, meekness and tenderness, 

kindness, concern and generosity.

As I completely surrender to You my cancer sickness, 

deliver me from dwelling on self-pity, 

fears, anxieties, hopelessness and all negative thoughts. 

Give me the grace to offer all my pains and sufferings

for other suffering people like me, 

especially those sick with cancer, 

with no one to support them and pray for them. 

Help me to see the blessings out of each trial

to realize each victory from every tear, 

to see Your guiding hand and feel Your loving presence

in everything that is happening to me, 

confident that You are totally in control.

Help me to learn lessons from my mistakes of the past

and work on changes in my life and in my way of living. 

And then, dearest Lord, after I have been healed, 

may my life be a witness to Your love, 

peace and healing powers for others 

and bring glory, honor and praise to You. 

All these I pray in the name of Jesus, 

through the intercession of Mama Mary

and all the saints and angels. 

Amen.

37th Post: Insight of the Day from Bob Proctor

"None of us has the power to make someone else love us. But we all have the power to give away love, to love other people. And if we do so, we change the kind of person we are, and we change the kind of world we live in." --- Rabbi Harold Kushner, Author of Living a Life That Matters

36th Post: Excerpts from My Prayer Booklet re: Suffering

O how insupportable sorrow

is when suffered far form the cross. 

But how sweet it becomes 

if one suffers close to the cross of Jesus. 

------

Know to value suffering as an instrument

of purification and evangelization

------

To accept suffering 

does not mean neither to be sorry, 

neither to love suffering

but rather to accept that it therefore humbles one, 

as the earth accepts rain from the heavens

that penetrates to its depths. 

------

Sufferings to become the portal

to a union with Christ. 

------

....that God will help us comprehend the efficacious power

of accepting our crosses

------

...that we accept unsparingly

the adversities 

that are placed before us

as a test  of our faith

------

It was impossible to eliminate suffering

but, may we saw 

that it could bring relief and be felt obligated 

to do something

------

35th Post: The Prayer Blueprint: The Lord's Prayer

Using The Prayer Blueprint: To learn about prayer, you must pray. Take it seriously & carve out some time each day to pray. Jesus gave us a blue-print (Luke 11:2-4) use it that way. Begin by praying, "Our Father in heaven. "Let mind focus on what it means to talk to the God of the universe as Father.Then pray about His person,"hallowed be Your name. "About  His program, "Your kingdom come." And about His purpose, "Your will be done on earth as  it is in heaven." Then pray to the Father about the family. Pray for provision, "Give us our daily bread."Pray for pardon,"And forgive us our sins,for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us." And pray for protection, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."

If you let this prayer serve as your blueprint, you will discover that its elements have purifying effect on what you pray for. You won't be able to pray for things that would exalt your name, advance your kingdom, or promote your will. To ask for daily bread if you're living in defiance would be like a traitor asking for strength to betray his country. You won't be able to ask God to  forgive you when you are not willing to forgive someone else. And to ask God for His protection from the evil one would be contradictory if you are cultivating temptations.

Though prayer is hard work, our communication with God is essential to our spiritual well-being.

34th Post: Today: A Shared Message

Today, 

I'll laugh and let my heart sing

for none of us know what tomorrow may bring....

Today, 

I'll be thankful that God's on my side, 

no need to worry, 

no need to hide...

Today, 

I'll proclaim it: "His promises are true". 

Faith can move mountains

and save countries, too...

Today, 

I'll live it, as God would intend enjoying each blessing

from beginning to end....

Today, 

wasn't promised. It's a gift from above, 

a gift worth sharing, 

the gift of God's Love!

-------

This is indeed true, prayer do wonders and can save our countries and the whole world. 

Even just an utter prayer of requests, blessings, graces 

and, thanksgiving count, 

said with conviction and faith and with the whole heart.  

33rd Post: A Text Message

When we pray for others, 

GOD listens and blesses them. 

 When  you are happy and feel blessed, 

remember that someone has prayed for you. 

Life is actually about giving and receiving. 

Whatever you share comes back to you.
