“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in song.” Psalm 28:7
At my last doctors visit the two doctors were asking some very direct questions about my pain. I left thinking that I need to monitor by pain better so I could be more precise in my response to them.
On Monday night a week ago, I took my pain pill and realized the next day around noon that I had not yet taken my morning dose. Hmm. I put the pill in my pocket and thought I will wait until I feel the pain and then take it. Well the wonderful news is that the pain never came. Praise to God and thank you for all your prayers for pain!
Unfortunately, I did not know you are not supposed to quit these things “cold turkey” and by Tuesday night I was feeling awful: cold sweats, chills all over, restless arms, irritable feelings & body aches. It took me until Thursday night to realize I was going through withdrawal! First thing Friday morning I called my medical team to tell them what was going on. They were very ecstatic about the pain but wanted me to get back on the medication at a lower dose and now have me on a weaning process so that I should be off the medication in about another week.
I am so thankful to the Lord for revealing to me that my pain was gone. I now only have a slight bit of nausea and stiffness in my hip. Please continue to pray for these issues. Oh, also that the Lutathera treatment would do what it was made to do. My next treatment is scheduled for August 4th.
Thank you again for loving me well. I am daily encouraged by either cards, notes, texts, flowers, meals, verses, visits & emails. God is so amazing at sending me special blessings- things I never imagined. He truly is a good and creative God.
Much love to you,
Debbie (and Patrick)

Hi Debbie. Unrelenting pain brings anyone down to rock bottom. I’m so pleased that you are not in such horrible pain. God is gracious in all things, whether we are in pain or pain free. I read Job 23:10 and thought of you: “But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold.” Our prayers continue with praises.

Dear Debbie, We love you very much and appreciate that you have allowed us to go on this difficult journey with you. All of your verses have been written out and are being prayed for you. I can’t tell you how much your journey has affected me (Sandy). My niece, Candie, is recovering from breast cancer. After her surgery she has been on cancer medication for 5 years and is at the end of that treatment. God has been urging me to pray that her cancer will not return. It is such a nasty disease, Debbie, and I so hate to see you having to going through it. Your journey has also filling me with tenderness and compassion for loved ones who are going through difficult times or those who I am concerned about their salvation. You have truly bumped my prayer time way up and given me an urgency to take more time in being observant in the needs of others. Larry has been making routed wood plaques with the words “Trust and Obey”. He has made about a 100 of them giving them to our Sunday school class, friends and family. As I gave one to a friend today, for some reason, God brought you to mind.. Your trust in the sovereignty of God, your desire to prayerfully pray His truths, and your obedience to the voice of His word. We love you, Debbie, for the heart you have for God. Take care, know we love you and pray for you. Larry and Sandy
