The Treatment Plan

For the cancer I've got there is a specific treatment plan. I do this and the odds are 90% I will never see this cancer again. Here's what will take place:
Radiation: There will be approximately 33 radiation treatments aimed at my pelvic area. They began July 5 and will conclude at approximately August 18th.
Reaction: First third: No issues. Second third: Discomfort. Final third: Increasing discomfort, culminating in 'brutal'.
Chemotherapy: There will be two courses of treatment. The first was started on July 5. The second will begin August 1st.
Reaction: First course produced nasty mouth sores, an overall sludgey feeling and 'chemo brain'. At least I know what to expect for the second course, and can make some plans.

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:13

Praise

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!"
Psalm 91:1-2

I do not check my 'baggage' at the door. I sit with every doubt, every fear, every ukkie. I welcome His presence, by His Holy Spirit, allowing it to wash over me, to seep into me, and to infuse me with quiet comfort and, even, joy.

For this, I praise my God today.
