Cancer Treatment Update

I have eleven radiation treatments to go and I will be finished - I hope. That is the plan. Many of you have asked about my diagnosis and so I am including it here - I was what is called S2A or stage 2 which is worse than stage 1 but better than stage 3! Or also Stage T2N0 ER- PR- HER eratic. In English: One of the two tumors was larger than 2 centimeters but there were no lymph nodes involved. Now you are completely confused, right?! That's OK, just know this, because of your prayers and His healing touch soon I will be done with all of this and life will go on - praise the Lord.

I will be excited to not be driving to Cox Cancer Center every day and getting back to real life. We are continually working on book projects and I am working on a women's book at this time hoping to involve some new women in the project.

Life is good...
Friends are great...
God is ever faithful.....

Home from General Council

We are home and had a great time. We saw lots of friends and we had a wonderful time seeing many of you who have been praying for us through this time. I returned home tired but it was well worth it.

Nahum 1:7 (New International Version)

The LORD is good,
a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in Him.

General Council in Orlando Here We Come

Getting ready to leave for General Council August 2. If you are going to be there, please stop by the Pentecostal Evangel booth, I will be there a lot of the time and would love to see you! Ken's making me work! Actually I love it because I get to see so many people and talk to so many. Looking forward to thanking so many of my prayer warriors in person. I do know that without you we couldn't have walked this valley the way we did. God was faithful and so were you.

Today we pack and get the final things ready for the booth and the website going live and you can check that out at www.onwardbooks.com.

I am also excited about being off from the radiation treatments for a week. I have started to burn a little so this week will give me a chance to heal and hopefully be enough time to get over that and not do it again! Three more weeks when I return and then hopefully a clean report of no cancer and no more doctors for a while! Of course I do know they will be in my future for a while but just not so often! I do have to say that everyone of my doctors and nurses and everyone handling my care have been extremely good to me, and the experience, if I can say, has been very positive in the way I've been treated.

Well we have come a long way together. And know this, "We can do all things through Christ that strengthens us." Have a great week, I plan to. Hope to see some of you in Orlando.
