Well I guess God always seems to know better than I do. A few months ago i would of thought I would have been dying....heck I felt like it, sometimes I still do. However, God has another plan I think.
I go to the doctor and do my 3 week scans, scopes, blood work ups, MRI's, etc. Even had a biopsy on breast and mamogram. And what do you know I get called back in 2 days later about my stomach cancer. The doc pulls out 3 pics: 1 of a normal stomach, 1 of my stomach when they first found the cancer, and 1 of my stomach 3 weeks into chemo and radiation. What a difference. Now I am no doctor but even I could see the difference. It has to be the prayers.
I was starting to lose my faith I guess God wanted to show me that there was no need to.
I know I am not out of the woods yet, the doctor made that really clear to me. He said he wanted to take me off the chemo and just keep me on radiation and put me on a high dose of naltroxone starting out with injections then later putting me on oral form, and lowering the dose until I am on a stable dose which I guess i will stay on for life if need be (if 4 nothing else my MS and Lupus)...keeping my body (hopefully from attacking itself again.)
I also got another miracle, not a complete one but its something: My kidneys seem to be regenerating. They can't always explain it they say but my urologist says that b/c of my neropathy everything just backs up and causes shut down. So I will have to take injections right into my kidney for life, which are killer, but its worth it and I will have to wear a catherder that wraps around my leg, so no one can see it. I can take it in and out myself and I am still trying to get used to that...they found that my kidney was slightly detached so they are going to reattach it in 4 weeks when they do the surgery on my stomach to remove the spot where the cancer was.
I cant wait till this is all over, then maybe I can get back to focusing on trying to figure out how to live with the ever changing MS and Lupus in my body and maybe just maybe God can pull off a mirical for all of us who suffer with these too.
