Again?

I am now on day four of being covered with hives. We had decided it is not an allergy to shellfish as we thought before but could be an allergy to citrus (juice) which is the only drink I introduced in the last week. But now, without resolution, I am thinking it relates to my compromised immune systerm. All I know, is that it is horrid, itchy to the point of pain sometimes and antihistamines help a little with the itch but the welts persisit. Mostly extremities (legs and arms), torso, buttocks and one day my jaw swelled up so bad I thought I had had a stroke.... it subsided, thank God. So this Cancer patient is in misery in our 116 heat (that makes things worse) and wishes our medical field had a cure for this as well. sigh, another challenge to face. Stay positive folks, it benefits your overall health in the end, and listen to your body! God Bless you all. :)

Prayer of Thanks

Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to You. Allow your healing hand to heal me. Touch my soul with Your compassion for others. Touch my heart with Your courage and infinite love for all. Touch my mind with Your wisdom, that my mouth may always proclaim Your praise. Teach me to reach out to You in my need, and help me to lead others to You by my example. Most loving Heart of Jesus, bring me health in body and spirit that I may serve You with all my strength. Touch gently this life which You have created, now and forever. Amen.

While I remain a fighter against my colon cancer, the Lord has blessed me with His healing power; I do not have breast cancer. Praise God and Thanks to all of you who continue to pray for me in my time of need.

Sometimes bad news is all you get...

Treatment not going well, options thinning out, now issues with mammogram. Can I stay strong under so much bad news? I have so much support from family and friends, it would not behoove me to give up now, so hanging in there, praying for good news on the mammo and strength to get through the chemo troubles.  Just saying, the golden years are turning into Fools Gold. Stay positive folks, and please take good care of your mental and physical health. :)
