Hi all,
I have just had a phone call from my dad saying the results of my step mothers last scan shows the cancer has gone. The cancer consultant said that he had only ever seen this happen once in his career. He said it's a miracle. Thanks all for your prayers 🥰
Thank you for the praise report.

God is good all the time as good is God all the time
some people make it and stay here, others go on to God in Heaven as God knows truth. There are other people that say, ooh no, that person did not make it. I say really, glad you are not God.
This is great Sunshine girl. God always has a plan in place no matter what evil tries to subvert it. Wow, cool

Who makes heaven is up to God alone. I thank him for taking the cancer out of her. Amazing and loving God 🥰

Hello All,
Can you please keep in your prayers my step mother who has just been diagnosed with lymphoma. She has been told she will need six treatments of chemo. To start with she refused treatment. She is now going to have chemo once but if her hair starts to fall out she will stop it straight away.
Many thanks all 🥰
Hi Sunshine Girl.
I'm sorry I missed your prayer request here.
I will add your step Mum to my prayer list.
It's understandable that she dreads going through all that pain and misery of chemo.

I just learned earlier today that they once again " misdiagnosed" my Mom as having pulled her trach tube out an inch. I was with her since she woke up yesterday morning. She got to go outside for a little bit. While out there, the staff had trouble handling the heavy chair she was in and the oxygen tank . They were all over the place and dislodged her trach tube part way through careless handling and awkward small wheels on the chair that the woman was not strong enough to handle properly. I give the ladies an A for effort and appreciate that time taking her outside. I was with her and concerned about the O2 cuff snagging the trach tube . Sure enough, as she sat in front of the nurses station, I noticed that happened. The voice therapist walked by and said she'd be right with us. I was there a long time and she didn't show up while I was there to ask her to fix it. Mom's breathing was alright so no concerns. Then the next day, I go there to find that my Mom was unable to move her hands arms or fingers. She had big padded mitts on tied to the rails. The respiratory therapist blamed the trach issue on Mom. She never touched it. I told the nurse, head nurses on the floor and the next respiratory therapist that they need to release her. It was explained that it's against policy and they will leave it on for any number of days until they are sure she will not pull it out. They didn't give a flip that I was with her all that time and only observed the ladies stumbling around the chair as they pushed it. The respiratory therapist dropped the o2 tank and that would've jerked on the tubing. Now Mom is tortured with extremely hot winter like mittens that she can't move in. Damnit I'm upset! I took those off when I stayed there today.

All of that to say that you canNOT trust medical professionals any more than any other field of work. Mistakes are often made and the customer or patients are often the ones who suffer.

There are exceptionally caring and virtuous people I've known and met. There are also plenty that have financial incentives to label strangers who walk in off the street as patients with false diagnosis.
Mistakes also happen. I have no way of knowing about your Step Mum, but I suggest a second or third opinion from another separate unrelated outfit that doesn't have the records. See if the diagnosis is the same and study up on the subject best you both can. You know how auto mechanics and service men take advantage? That's also common in medicine. If she has this cancer, it might be advantages to look into other options and their success/ failure rates.
Either way it couldn't hurt to learn more.

I was motivated to listen to Dr Daniels before reading this and then decided to look up a related thread in the other health forum. I will post it here for you and your step Mother . She covers some unrelated things at the beginning and then starts on the topic of cancer and diagnostics about the 11:00 minute mark.
Prayerfully to her health.
God bless you both.

I am happy to see you again! And sorry to hear you are battling cancer and having to tolerate whatever those side effects from your chemo are. My own chemo treatments went on for many weeks before and after surgery, but it was pill form, so the side effects were not horrid, though some of them were recurring and long lasting. I think of you often, especially when I am listening to Steve Gregg :D


Praise the Lord
:)

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Save, O Lord, and preserve Thy girl servant. Grant her Thy comfort in her illness and weak condition. Raise her up from her sickbed, that she may be happy, healthy, and cheerful for many more years of her life. We glorify and thank Thee, Father, that Thou hast healed and protected her throughout all the past time of her life. Do not deprive her of Thy mercy now, that Thy goodness may yet be glorified. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Sorry to hear you had to face cancer too.
I have to have six treatments of chemo. It's injected every three weeks and take about an hour to get all the drugs in.
My hair pretty much all fell out two weeks after the first lot of chemo but I have a lovely wig and a lot of bandas to wear. Also it's getting cold in the UK now so the winter hats are coming out.
It's been a while since I have been on here. Can't believe how quickly time goes. Soon be Christmas 😱 Anyway I hope you are keeping well Magenta 🥰
