To clarify my test results: The CA125 test checks for a protein given off by ovarian cancer cells. After the second round of chemo, my result was 37. A normal reading is 35 and below. I have now had chemo 3 so that reading should be even lower. (Before chemo 1 my reading was 900 and I was in rough shape).
On January 2, I will have a CT scan to determine if surgery can proceed. (A hysterectomy) No cancer must remain in my liver. We are asking Jesus to remove all cancer, not just from the liver! So please be in prayer for us.
Surgery is scheduled for January 15. Quite strange to be praying that surgery can go ahead.
This is a time of waiting on the Lord for us, but His arms of comfort are wrapping us tight. We have seen many miracles in our life already, so we are not afraid.
Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war rise against me, even then in this will I be confident. Psalm 27:3
Love, Lee

ReplyDeleteOh Lee Anne....how I remember the thrill of that number coming down and becoming "normal". Precious friend...rejoicing with you!!!!!!! Yes Lord, continue to remove ALL cancer. He who begins a good work completes it!!! PRAISE HIS NAME!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy original CA125 was around 700, and I remember thinking that was sooooo high, until one of the nurses at Sunnybrook made mention one day that my number had never really been high. I responded to her that it had been around 700, and she said, "That's not high. This number can be in the thousands!" Oh my goodness!
Lee Anne...continuing in prayer...that as God "consumed all" my cancer, He will do the same for you. I understand the prayer for surgery....that's actually a miracle and huge indicator that things are progressing towards complete healing.
Last night my son played the piano at a Christmas banquet at his girlfriend's church. He wrote an arrangement of a piece of music that was sung the first Christmas after I had just finished my chemo. I will never forget how God used the lyrics in this song to confirm His healing over my life. The song is titled, "All is Well". Here it is, just recently performed at the CMA Country Christmas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjZfeEJgNRw
Merry Christmas sweet friend. May you continue to unwrap the gift of God's presence.
Hugs,
Joy
