The original deal was that they would take the cancer out of the lung only if

Other than sore, not bad. Thank you, I was never go glad to be home in all my life. You hit the nail on the head. You're so good at that. You should have been a psych. of some type,

I do hope you mean a psychIATRIST rather than a psychOPATH?!

Here, Psych can mean psychiatrist, psychologist, or psychic. We call psychopaths, "psycho." I thought the confusion might be between learned and natural abilities or level of education. We also use Psych! like Psyched you out! (Played with your head and won like the French touche -with an accent mark at the end- for psychologically 'got you.") I assure you, I meant it as a completment.

My family exists because of prayer and the Bible. My Dad was supposed to kill his Mom. My Dad was the first cecerean section in our area. The Dr. predicted that both he and my Grandmother would die. He was just hoping to save one or the other. Every relative we had alive at the time prayed. They both lived. My Grandfather read the Bible every day and could read it in French, Latin, and English. I don't think you have to worry about this too much.

I'd like to draw out a little more of your testimony, WS. Presumably you don't believe that your grandfather's mind transmigrated into yours, so presumably you don't believe that you intrinsically know everything he ever knew, so presumably you read the Bible for yourself at least as avidly as he did? My godmother, who was also a writer, fairly well known in her time, told me that John's Gospel was probably her favourite Gospel. It was from that that I read out to her on the last occasion I saw her.

Thank you, sounds like I need it.

You've missed a few of my discussions. If you go back thru, you'll find that around Movemeber we found it had spread to the lung and to the left side of my abdomin. Then different chemo and it had shrunk the abdomin and deflated the lung one. Then the abdomin got gone or maybe it went north to my heart, who knows now, but the lung one grew again. Then this. Now you're cuaght up. So you're about 3 to 5 discussions behind.

I think it's best when you're in college to concentrate on college. You weren't getting notifications for a while, too. Oh yes, I know he knows. I'm sure things will improve eventually.

I agree with all that you wrote. I think you would have probably been a great hospice nurse. Take care.

Thank you, keep up the good prayer work. I hope I feel rested soon.

So it is like the canary in the mines.

I know. Hard to wrap your head around, isn't it? OK, the CT scan shows cancer as white, bones as white, blood vessals as white, your heart as white. Everything else it black. So the ones behind the heart were invisible just as any in my bones or blood vessals would be. The one in the lung is the only one they can see. It's not that big. The lung one is the one they can see and is the one that will tell them if I'm getting better, worse, or staying the same. I don't know why they didn't take out the other two in the heart sack. But they seem to believe that where there is smoke, there is fire. There are probably cancers other places, we just can't see them. The worst one is the lung one. If we kill or shrink that, then we kill or shrink them all.

Thank you, that's very encouraging! Hugs back at you and may you also be encouraged in all your endevors.

You don't understand. If only the spot on the lung and nothing else, then they would take it out. They found cancer around the heart sack, so that is other cancer. So they put a bunch of holes in me and didn't take out the cancer in the lung. Camera hole, instrument hole, etc.

I hope it's a long dandelion season! Dandelion has some relatives you might want to check out. Goat's beard, oyster plant, and salsify I think are all dandelion looking, but are at different times during the year. They put a scope down to look at it, so they touched the lung alright, but they did not take out the lung cancer. See my response to Garden Gerty to try to understand more. It's hard. Yes, I'm resting well. Since I'm not supposed to drive for 4 weeks or lift more than 10lbs, resting is about all I can do now. Thanks for the continued dandelion wishes!

The things was, if only the one spot in the lung, they would take it out. They found the ones in the heart sack in the back of the lung. So they did not take out the lung one. Only the one sample from the heart sack to make sure it really was a cancer.

Thank you for you for your continued prayers.

Thank you, I very much appreciate it. Love the picture here. That's your entire family?

My Mom, Dad, 3 brothers and I used to be a family of 6. Thank you very much for having your family pray for me. Much appreciated.

Actually the picture is kinda old already so I'm planning to change it some time soon, I have 3 children now ( another boy) and that young boy in the picture is the same one who fought in the karate tournament ( my past post)and he just turned 16. We are 5 in the family plus my mom and that makes 6 praying for you to get well.
