"Another round for the house please"

I had another marker test done on Monday and received the results on Wed. which is when I had my follow-up appointment with my stem-cell doctor. The bHCG went from 7 to 23. This could just be what they call a "yo-yo" effect, or it could be growing, obviously. Hard to say, but either way its in the Lords hand.

So the options that I have is to do one more round or wait a month to six months to see what transpires. The doctors suggestion is to hit it while its down and kill anything that may be left. Whereas dealing with this for almost two years now, I agree. But accordingly, I will be praying for direction in this matter.

As most of you know, I hit this cancer hard naturally in the beginning before the first treatment, and even harder after the first but before the second to no avail. Then continued with about six more cycles of chemo over the past year, which towards the end seemed to feed the cancer rather then kill it. That's why I agree with the doctor. But as I said earlier, its in the Lords hand.

Their suppose to try to get me in in the next two weeks. While I feel pretty well Ill be trying to get our fall planting in. Our spring planting didn't do so well since I was so sick most of the summer.

The farm is slowly growing and coming together, so right now were farther than some, but not as far as others, as is life. Chickens should be laying in a week or so, and Lord willing the plan, (depending on health) is to get some sheep and a horse. Til next time,
