Better than I dared to dream

Brain mets, Cancer, Family and friends, Hope, Prayer, Treatment 1 Minute

In today’s mass reading taken from Isaiah it says: “the Lord is the one in whom we hoped.” For me that has indeed been true over these last few months.

I hoped and prayed that the Lord would work healing through the professionals who’ve been treating me.

Today I saw the oncologist who had the results of my recent scans. They were better than I had dared to dream.

The body scan states that what disease was there has now gone and nothing new has appeared. The conclusion is the only remaining disease is in the bones. This has always been described as ‘insignificant’.

The brain scan states there is further evidence of treatment response and no apparent new lesions.

I can’t quite believe it and it may take a while to absorb this good news. Treatment continues with daily oral chemotherapy and an injection monthly but I’m coping well with the regime and its side effects.

Thank you for your prayers and good wishes. I do appreciate how much these have helped me.  I hope you all enjoy a hope filled Christmas with your loved ones.

Blessings to you all and a happy Christmas.

Pauline

  10. You deserve the good news Pauline, well done. I hope you can enjoy the positive feedback, because we often only prepare for the bad news, resulting in a numb feeling when good news comes along. Love to Max too, he’ll be so relieved, believe me x
