Chemo the second time around isn't as bad as I thought. Maybe it's because this time, I'm not going into treatments after having major surgery. Or maybe because it's only a small amount of cancer. Or maybe because I know how bad it can be so anything else is better. Or maybe, just maybe because this time I'm going into treatments with faith.

I already received a huge blessing. Actually more like a miracle again. I know Jesus is listening and answers in His own time. Yesterday (Wednesday) while getting my first chemo treatment , I ask the nurse about the results of the blood work and CT scan I had done Monday. I was concerned that in waiting the extra couple of weeks it took to set me up for the chemo trial study, that the cancer might have spread. Actually I was terrified that was the case.

Turns out my CA 125 went down and the first conclusion for the scan was no evidence of cancer. Of course, that can't be true with the positive biopsy and PET/CT scan I had done weeks ago. So the scan techs had to go back to the old scan and look specifically at the suspicious area on the new scan and have to do an addendum. The nurse said she's never seen that before with an addendum like that. Yes, I still have a small swollen lymph node but it has already shrunk by 20%. Sceptics may have a number of explainations for this, but I believe Jesus heard my prayers and answered right away. I feel foolish now for worrying about the delay in starting chemo because my healing had begun when I asked God.
