April 2 Treatment Plan

Yesterday evening I went to see the doctor to learn about the treatment plan. I am going to need to go through chemotherapy for the cancer (6 cycles), radiation therapy and 5 years of hormonal therapy. No escape from anything. This is probably the standard treatment.

I am quite prepared for it because I got the preliminary report upon discharge from hospital. Although the information is somewhat technical, one can search the information on the internet or through Google Scholar to read research journal articles on the subject. I was relieved enough that it is not HER2 cancer. So I figured that I have Stage II cancer and since cancer has spread to the lymph

Although I still dread the treatment, it seems that the best strategy is to prepare my body for it. The treatment will last for 6 months (estimated to end in Oct). So I have to figure out the best way to handle work. I really ask your prayers on this since I am also seeking the Lord’s will on whether He intends me to serve Him in different capacities.
