It's Linda checking in to tell you about my third infusion cycle.
First I must admit I've been a little melancholy lately and losing faith in my dream. I've been coughing alot and it has made me fear that the tumor is not shrinking and that is why I'm coughing. Last night I apologized to God for my lapse in faith, but would he please give me a sign that my dream is to be believed.
Today, when I told my doctor about my fears, he said the tumor shouldn't be causing my cough, but we would do an X-ray to see if the cause is in the lung. When the X-rays came back he put the new one on the screen next to the last one taken. The old one definitely showed the tumor, but the new one showed no sign of it, only scarring from the radiation. My prayer (and yours) was answered. I feel so much better. I believe again. Thank you all for your prayers. God does listen.
Dave continues to work on his anxiety disorder with his doctor, hoping to get back to his high care giver status with the help of counselors, medication, etc. I look forward to having him back. The lesson in this is all caregivers and cancer patients should get help early on to help them through this tough journey.
Love and gratitude.....Linda

Glad to hear the news of no signs of the tumor in your lungs. I am so glad that you received an answer from God so soon to help you have hope in your journey. I know from my experience, when I am at my lowest believing there is no hope, God gives me a reason to believe and keep hoping. I pray tomorrow gives you many reasons to hope. Love, Kathy I.
Linda, so good to hear from you, especially with such great news. Whenever your well runs low, remember there are many of us out here sending you our love and prayers. Keep the faith in God and all of us who love and admire both you and Dave. We share this journey with both of you.

you post made me think of the poem about the footprints in the sand -- and that when there was only one set, He was carrying you. You rock on, L!! Your love and your honesty and your faith -- precious gifts!! :-)
Wrapping you in that warm golden glow of health and healing and love,

I was so excited to hear your news about the xray. I pray everyday that you will be well and back to that fun loving, traveling couple we are all so jealeous of. You amaze me every day with your courage. I love you both. Judy

Just keep moving forward!!! Great news. Now Dave lean on those around you to get yourself moving, moving, moving!
Love to you both, Kay and John
That's great news Linda, I guess will have to shift a little of our prayers towards Dave now. Take Care and maybe will see you at the next Camp Car race in Long Beach.
All the best in this New Year.
