Personal Update
Thanks to so many of you who still lift us up in prayer. I still am experiencing no cancer symptoms or side-effects from the treatments and I attribute this to our wonderful heavenly Father acting upon the prayers of so many. I see the oncologist again in July for another check-up. Thanks to those of you who still send reminders of your prayers. I appreciate every one; our God keeps a record.
A recent development has been a diagnosis of compound migraines. Some time before it was discovered that I had cancer I would experience fireflies, flashes before my eyes, then numbness in my right arm, leg, and my mouth. This would pass after about 30 minutes and would occur very infrequently. Since completing treatments it has occured a few more times, once with a terrible headache and symptoms that lasted over 4 hours. After an examination and brain scan it was determined that I have compound migraines. Migraines and strokes are somewhat related and can have some of the same symptoms. The difference is that strokes cause permament damage, while migraines do not cause any. I was given a prescription for pills to lessen the effects when they come on, and speed my recovery. I would appreciate your prayers for this as well. Apparently this is something that will just have to be dealt with on an ongoing basis, since there is no cure.
I am, however, fully functional again with memory and concentration having returned. I am happily writing steadily as well as preaching full-time again. Again, thanks for your prayers and expressions of love and concern. Becky and I are truly thankful for all of you.
i love your blog, great !
