My first treatment

“Be careful, keep calm and don’t be afraid, do not lose heart.” Isaiah 7:4


April 18, 2020


The first treatment is behind me and thank God for that. Being drugged up and not being able to think clearly or remember the verses I had stored up left me in a dark place that first day. When I got home and was able to sleep, I could just feel the healing restoration through your prayers at work.

Each time I awoke in the middle of the night I just felt lighter and lighter and knew God was with me. Thank you so much for praying it has made and continues to make a huge difference in my treatment.

All went well with the treatment and now we wait for the medication to find its target and destroy, Lord willing, the cancer cells. I will follow up with my oncologist in one month and will likely have my second treatment in about 8 weeks.

Please be praying that:


• I have relief from continued pain in my pancreas and left hip.
• That I would gain more of an appetite.
• That the Lord would restore my energy.
• That I would continue to glean the life lessons the Lord has for me to learn through this journey.
• That God would use this treatment to destroy the cancer cells for His glory.


Also, pray for Patrick, Sarah and Kathryn as they journey this road with me.


Please let me know how I can pray for you.

When I wake up in the middle of the night the Lord brings you and others to mind. So let me know how I can be remembering you and your journey.


Love and blessings,


Debbie

  3. Dear Debbie,
    I am gleaning from your strength and continue to be inspired from your Torah passages. Thank you so much. “…and he will raise YOU up on eagle’s wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make YOU to shine like the sun and hold YOU one the palm of His hand”!
    Oh Debbie, we love you so much and are so proud of you and are holding your hand every step of the way. Love, Peggy

  4. Psalm 91:11
    “For He shall give His angels charge over you,
    To keep you in all your ways.”
    Amen! God is in control!
    My dear Debbie we keep praying for you, your soon recovery, and family.
    We know the Lord will give you the strength during this journey and we will walk with you, by your side.
    With love,

  5. So thankful for your report, was wondering how it went. May the Lord truly be your Healer of all. Are you able to juice or have Patrick do it for you? Veggie juice packs a punch that is more easily digested. May you be more and more refreshed each day. Would a bit of time in the fresh air and sun help? If you can’t walk at this time, even sitting out in the sun is refreshing to me. Blessings, Judy Hook
