D-Day come and gone
What a way to spend Valentines Day - getting zapped by radiation! Plus, to add to the indignity, they needed to make a resin-type 'impression' of my butt! To assist in the 'accuracy of the treatment', I was told. Yeah. right! I think these nurses didn't get flowers from their husbands and wanted to take it out on me! Anyway, all went to plan. Next thing I'm told I have a couple of 'strange looking spots on the lung' and although probably of no consequence, they still want further scans just to be sure. That means delaying the chemo (radiation still continues) for a week until those scans are given the 'all clear'. As if I needed any more drama in my life! Fays broken arm is in new bright-pink plaster, very trendy, and will be for another 4 weeks, so thank heaven for wonderful children, friends who live close by and can help out. Trish sent a wonderful scripture 'poem' of a Fathers love for His Children - I'll send a copy to anyone who wants it. Keep praying for patience, resilience, proper food choices, grace, and ultimately, an 'all clear' And keep the faith!

Hi Murray
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a tough day. We need to pray that the lungs get the all clear so the chemo can get started!
Thought you may be interested to know that the MOB was at prayer this morning from 6am to 7am at the Hub praying for you. 25 guys turned up and prayed for you! We are committed to pray for you!
Glad day 1 is down. Great post CB about the group prayer! Will also pray for clear lungs. Love the Dixon clan (mt. branch)

I def enjoyed having a quick read of your blog....def enjoyed your description of getting a resin impression of your butt on valentines day! i agree with ya, nurses partners were probably a bit cheap on flowers that day!

Hey Murray - What a story - we will be praying specifically for the lung spots.
ReplyDeleteOur ABC Home Group is praying for the miracle. We met last night with you on our thoughts and prayers. We also remember Fay and your wonderful family. Look forward to seeing you in the weekend! Lots of love from the Christchurch Dixon's.
PS Jim Veitch tells a great story of specific prayer for you from washington DC - too long to blog but we will relate details when we see you.
Just as well you have a toned man butt and not one of the dimply variety we girls acquire! Do you get to keep it? I can just see it set up on the side table in your entry foyer. What a talking point! We are keeping tabs on things through the kids and our prayers are with all of you even though we are not a mob.xx
