11 GOODBYE!!!
Today
I have my last session of radiotherapy! I came home and enjoyed a delightful
shower! It is great after 5 weeks of having only partial showers. [Praise God
my skin is still okay and I only need to be careful.]
One
uncertainty that many cancer patients have to face is recurrence. I have
pondered about this on and off during the course of treatment - Am I healed and
would continue my "normal" life or would there be a recurrence of
cancer somewhere down the road? Should I be prepared for a
"shortened" life or should I look ahead to many more years on earth?
The "control freak" in me wants to "know" to plan
accordinly. Although I have wanted (and asked for) some signs or assurance from
the Lord that I would have my "normal" life back, the Lord has not
granted this wish. Instead I am reminded that God, the author of life, will
write my life script. Therefore I could (or should) only surrender to His
perfect plan. I will continue my life journey and fight the Good Fight as a
Cheerful Helper until the time to meet Him arrives. [As Paul said in 2 Tim
4:7-8 "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept
the faith."]
THANK YOU and
GOODBYE
I
want to thank all of you for your support - your prayers, comments and words of
encouragement have been a great blessing, carrying me through during this
difficult time. Your prayer makes a
difference!
Well,
I am going to say GOODBYE here. [You can still share this blog with friends who
may benefit from reading my experience during cancer.] If you are still
interested to find out what is going on with me, I am moving onto a new blog at
http://www.cheerfulhelper.blogspot.com.
I
want to hear about how your life is going on as well. So do keep in touch!
Last Prayer
Request
Please
join me in praying for opportunities to have a ministry amongst students from
mainland China in Macau. The Bible study group I tried to get going before
breast cancer has "fallen apart," so I am praying for new directions.
With
love,
Doris
