World Cancer Day



World Cancer Day. That's seems aptly named because from the crowds at MDA today, everyone in the world must have cancer. And also, cancer stinks.

On the way over here yesterday afternoon the AC in my car decided not to work. It has been doing this on and off for a few months. It will start again as suddenly as it stops. I have taken it in to be looked at but it works whenever I take it or try to take it. It worked again last night after David's scan. It worked this morning. I hope it works on the way home! I have about 2000 miles left on the warranty. 🙄

What does this have to do with anything you ask? Nothing really but it is a little like David's treatment I guess. His scan showed stability and no new tumors. So that is great. But there was a tiny bit of growth in one of the nodes. Like 1 mm of growth. So it's working except when it's not? He will continue on this trial for another 3 months and if there is more growth at the next scan (May) he may change treatments. The Dr. says there are many options. He always says that and he hasn't lied yet. So we press on.

So today on World Cancer Day, his cancer is trying to make a comeback? Someone explain to cancer that is not the purpose of this honorary day. Today I claim that World Cancer Day is not just a day to bring awareness of cancer but is a day to celebrate the defeat of the monster.

Please pray with me that the infusion he is receiving now goes directly to that annoying node and zaps it to smithereens! 💥

A young couple just walked by me and she was sobbing. She was making a beeline for the elevator. If only it was an escape. Pray for her. It's really hard to keep it together here sometime. Most of the time.

Also. SOMEONE IS IN MY CHAIR! I come from a long heritage of Baptists. Claiming a particular chair is a real thing. They aren't just sitting there either, they are camped out in that corner. She looks like she doesn't feel well. Maybe she needs the space more than me today.

Please pray for:
Node zapping
Comfort for the elevator lady
Healing for the chair stealer
Appropriate and timely AC functioning
World Cancer Day and all that might entail

Thank you for loving us! ♥️
