Please Pray for Direction

Anyone who knows me well knows that I always pray for God to open up the doors to His will and to close those that are not.

Well, I talked with Cancer Treatments Centers of America today. I had read they are doing a second phase trial on a vaccine for ovarian cancer. From what I understand they take the tumor or a piece of it from your body and create a vaccine for you. They will do the trial this summer and you need to be a patient of theirs to be considered for the trial. So I asked what I needed to do for that. She is checking everything out (meaning my insurance company) and is suppose to get back with me in a few days.

So, pray Saints, pray for the Lord to open up the doors to His will and close those that are not. Of course if He opens the door to go I want it to work and He knows that.

They seemed very interested in me since I am the type of person they are trying to help. Someone who has had all different types of chemo and wanting to fight.

They pay flight expenses and all the cost of treatment for the trial. The only thing they do not cover is hotel expenses. The trial will be in Zion, Illinois and I don't know anyone in Illinois but I guess I could meet some people.

Thanks in advance for all your prayers, I know so many of you have been faithful since the beginning in praying for me. I even have little ones in our church who let me know they pray for me. I could never express the comfort that this gives me.

Update on Cancer

Well, I am claiming everything is shrinking in Jesus Name. I had a pain that would not go away for a few days. I had a few people agree with me in Jesus Name and the pain is no longer there. Thank you Jesus. For those of you who know anything about anyone who has had cancer and had it progress on them, my bodily functions are working better, in fact normal today and that is a blessing. Sorry to be so blunt, but in all things give thanks, and I am thankful to the Lord for the many many times He has touched my body.

For those of you who don't know I have been battling an ovarian cancer recurrence since Jan. 05. Ovarian cancer is an ugly cancer, but it will not get the best of me.

Thanks once again for all your prayers. Thanks for the phone calls that come at times when I need them. Thanks for everything. I can not name all that friends and family have done for me.

Numbers down 2 Points

It's not a lot but it's better than going up. If only the numbers would go down as fast as they go up. Had my CA 125 taken yesterday and the results were: it is now 68. Was 70 four weeks ago, so it went down.

I have only two more treatments of this chemo before I return to MDAnderson and have a CT Scan and all to see if this chemo is doing anything to the tumors. So keep me in your prayers. I know you have and Thanks. Won't find out anything new until March 1st. The tests will be run on the 27th.

The doctor did up my dosage of this chemo so I am feeling a little ill, just took a pill and am going to bed. Sleep tight all!
