Hello Everyone!
I am on the home stretch for radiation treatments, and aside from the redness and occasionally irritating sensations of itching and just general sensitivity issues in the area that's being treated, I feel surprisingly well! Thank you, Jesus! As I lie under the machine every day and watch it hard at work, I picture it zapping every last cancer cell and I feel so thankful that I live in the day of modern medicine. I imagine the engineers and doctors that designed these machines and say a prayer of gratitude for whoever they are. I watch what I call the teeth move back and forth as it adjusts to target just the right area, I listen to what reminds me of a laser engraving machine, and find it almost relaxing in some unusual cathartic way. Perhaps it's because it is 10 minutes in the middle of my usually hectic day where I am forced to be still. Very still. And lie there. And so I use those few minutes each and every day to say a prayer. To be thankful. And to pray for others who lie under the same machine who may not have the same optimistic odds I was given. I pray for strength, hope and peace for them and their families. I claim healing. And not just healing from the cancer, but complete healing from any negativity in all its ugly forms. Healing from any doubts that sometimes creep in my head. And I claim healing for all of you.
Hugs and Healing Thoughts,
Casey
