Hello again

I have taken a long break as I was having server issues and did not want to blog under those conditions. Quite a bit has happened since the last posting in every realm and I find myself in an unusual position. I just got released from the hospital afer 2.5 weeks of rest, tests, and treatment and am really happy to be home with my family. They ran an MRI of the brain last week and the results came back with more bad news. I have 2 lesions on the cerebellum area and perhaps a 3rd on the top area of my brain. This is not super shocking news as they discovered and treated 2 new lesions on/in the spine the week before. I have started IV chemo and next Monday will be the first completed cycle of Taxol which they tried in the very beginning (2.5 years ago) but discontinued abruptly because of nasty side effects. I am tolerating it well this time as the dose os lower but more frequent and they give me chemo pills that I take every day. The pills can perhaps reduce the size of the tumors in the brain and doc says and if that does not work they will do radiation therapy on my head. For the moment I am having mild neurological symptoms of my left leg being weak and they are giving me cortisone to help with that. The Lord has reminded me that the latest bad news is no different from all the other bad reports. We can choose how we are going to respond to it. I choose to eat from the tree of life and wait patiently for God to give me clarification or direction as to what He may want me to do. He has not told me anything so far, so I am just resting and seeking Him. I am curious how far things will go with this as I have given Him 100% right to use my life to glorify His name. I expect the unexpected. Thank you so much for the continued prayers of my spiritual family are vital to me and my family. I am feeling pretty good the past few days all the way around and I thank my Father and the body of Christ for the life that comes by His love. Stay tuned for some interesting days to come!!!
