One day, then the next, then the next.

 Radiation treatment has begun. Yep. 

20 treatments, 20 days.  

I was soooo hesitant to walk through that door and start radiation treatment. Actually, a bit anxious and a lot scared. I just needed more. More information, more science, more understanding, and more of Jesus. Healing comes in multiple ways. God uses his mighty hand with miracles and he uses the marvels of medicine, he uses food, and he uses people. I’m tapping into all of these this month! 

I did all my homework. And anyone who knows me knows, I am a research queen. I prayed and prayed again. WE prayed and prayed again. This journey isn’t just mine. My sweet man is walking it hand in hand with me. Terrell and I are doing this together. He’s even drinking my veg smoothies! 

Now it’s the last step, radiation. 

Daily I drive down to St. Francis Peregrine Center and get zapped as I lovingly call it, then head home. I’m sure I’ll be a super hero with some special power when I’m done. I have creams I use twice a day to keep my breast protected, I have a calendula topical tea I use after each treatment as well that helps with any inflammation, and so far- all is well! 4 treatments down, 16 to go. I’ll finish up on the 28th of December. I am taking 20 mg of melatonin and a mushroom supplement daily to grab the yuck from radiation and get it out of my body. Actually, I am taking a plethora of supplements right now to strengthen me as I walk this out. Between that, exercise and good nutrition- most of the time😉, I feel really good. 

My desire, my prayer, that you can pray with me is this- Lord, let me walk out of those doors on day 20 as good as I’m walking in on day 1. Let me bring joy to this place and a bit of Jesus every time I come. ( I prayed this as I was just about to walk in for my first treatment)  They see a lot of patients each day. I am sure some of the stories are quite hard. I’m believing God has me here for such a time as this. He is my healer. He can protect my heart, my lung, and my skin and my breast tissue throughout this whole month. They keep preparing me for the fatigue that’s supposed to hit day 14 and beyond. I say- No. My God is bigger than day 14 and beyond. 

Please pray with me, for me. I so appreciate it!

Thanks for listening,
