May 3rd Preparation for Chemotherapy

The Lord has helped me prepare for chemotherapy step by step.

After reading more journal articles, I learned that the benefit of additional chemotherapy differs depending on the specific types of breast cancer. Future research on cancer gene studies may spare me from chemotherapy after all. However for now this is something I must go through. I will therefore receive it from the Lord and trust that He can use it to benefit me in His own mysterious way.

I am holding onto 2 Cor. 4:16-17 "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all." NIV

所以我們不喪膽．外體雖然毀壞、內心卻一天新似一天。我們這至暫至輕的苦楚、要為我們成就極重無比永遠的榮耀。

This verse reminds us that ultimately we are all going to face the fact that our body would be wasting away, so perhaps this is a good time for me to practice being renewed inwardly day by day by Him. May this be a process of His renewal.

Thank you for remembering me in your prayers.

Please remember this precious soul in your prayer. May the Lord further reveal Himself to him! We will be going to worship together tomorrow and may we all witness the work of the Holy Spirit.
