After further consultations with a chemo doctor and a radiology doctor, I begin radiation therapy this Friday (12th). The hope is that 10 treatments on consecutive days will reduce the primary tumour so that I can eat solid food, for the first time in months!
The, after a break of around 3 weeks, I would begin chemotherapy. I have to be honest and say that I didn't really want to undergo either, having never been too keen on pumping poison into my body, but I was advised that without treatment I have only weeks left to live - not a great option!
We continue to be immensely grateful for the prayers, messages and chocolates being sent our way! It is deeply humbling to be so deeply loved.
Too late?

Hello Philip thank you for posting your medical update and for sharing so openly your feelings. Just been woken by my alarm for my first prayer time of the day for you so it's good to pray more specifically, though I know God knows all about you anyway! Praying for you faithfully and thinking of you with the deepest of love, Mary xxxx love to all the family xxxxxx

ReplyDeleteHi Phil, just a brief message to say that I am continually praying for you throughout each day. I understand your concerns about the prospect of radiotherapy or chemotherapy after having recently started a six month course of dual-chemotherapy treatment myself. I pray that you will have a deep awareness of the prayers of many, many people asking our Father, God to uphold you so that you will experience more and more of His presence, healing and peace within.
