      Hi all! I have the exciting news to share that after being diagnosed with 3b and  5 10 mg ippi treatments part of a cancelled study arm for toxicity I am still NED. I have had my scans this morning showing I am free of disease. Lord knows I have had a lot of scanxiety.

      I am really lacking in faith and trust sometimes in the Lord because sometimes I am really scared. I am 27, intially diagnosed at 25, with two kids, 3 and 5. I did not think I would be able to see another birthday with them but here I am. I guess if the Lord intends for me to go, I will be going but I will fight the good fight before I will be departing from this life.

          Hi there. I think it’s normal to have those feelings. I personally struggle myself. We’re humans and understanding God is not easy. Honestly, I’m clueless. But I believe in God and that Jesus is my savior. I’m not afraid to admit that to anyone. I pray for all and judge or at least try not to judge anyone. This is a good verse my pastor shared with me when I shared with him my questioning of faith and God.

          Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. The Lord is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever. (Psalm 28:6-9 NIV)

          Take comfort in your belief. Though I don’t think he puts his hands into our affairs or on a limited basis…pray to him, ask him, ask for others. Do t mean to be preachy as I know little except that I believe and though I try to be best person and treat my fellow humans with dignity…I’m still a sinner but believe I’m loved.
