Cancer Control

Tomorrow I go the the oncology clinic and Lab, for "bloodwork". They are keeping an eye on me because, according the medics, you are never "cured" of Cancer. They call it surviving. The challenge is to survive 5 years. My original encounter with surgery was in January 2001; SO, I MADE IT!! My original assessment was that I had a 20% chance of survival (of 5 years). I had a set-back in August 2002 when it had gone to the liver, and again they estimated my survival chances at 10%. That is now 3 years and 7 months ago, and, HELLO! - I am still here.
Yes, I had Chemo therapy in 2001. You could not find a more considerate, friendly and praying set of nurses anywhere. Apart from the sinister reason you are there, and apart from the ,hmm, side effects, that was not a bad experience.

Was it the excellent doctors, was it God? Was it christians ( and yes, moslem nurses) praying for me? Or was it God leading me to the right treatment by professionals. Maybe all factors play a roll. I don't get too theoretical about it. I am still here and that is no doubt because that is what God wants for me for now. We all have an "assignment" in the body of Christ and a role to fulfill. But that is another Blog!
