| Chemo .2 DONE!!Lots of GREAT NEWS!!
One of the two "tumor markers" in my blood are back to 'normal'... PRAY that the second hits normal this week!
I'm off the pain medications - this means the tumor in my back is not putting as much pressure on other stuff - aka -- IT'S SHRINKING!!
I have had tons of energy (compared to none!!) since getting out of the hospital. I'm walking everyday and excercising too.
PRAY
My immune system is suppose to be on the FRITZ. They say that a normal infection could kill me.
Because
my body is in a state of being poisioned - pray that I am wise with the
foods I eat, the rest I get, and HOW far to push myself. My body isn't
like it was 2 months ago. I can push myself, but will my body recoup as
fast... no.
Thoughts
Psalm 103.1a - Bless the Lord, O my soul, AND ALL THAT IS WITHIN ME...
even cancer... even pain... ALL can bless the I AM - he is not suprised, but He will recieve blessing! THAT IS AMAZING TO ME! | | |
| 12 14 06Hey All!
Here is the scoop, I'm sitting here in the oncologist's office getting
hydration. I wasn't doing so hot yesterday. I came for my chemo yesterday,
but was on the verge of dehydration. The Dr.s pumped me with juice and I
felt much better!
My diet consists of mostly ice pops, gatorade, and energy drinks. I have
been having 'the squirts... BOTH ways' (to put it crudely). Eating is still
my hardest battle.
PRAY - that we can get the problems with eating and dehydration conquored.
Thanks again for all the love and concern showered in our direction... I
cannot express my heart of gratitude!
Because of Jesus!
Wayne, Karen, Querida, & Taylor

| Hey all, Thanks for all of the notes, messages, letters, phone calls, and to all who have stopped by during the first stage of this crazy battle. YOU ALL MEAN SO MUCH! I WISH THAT I COULD EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE!  Here is the scoop... The abnormality on my brain appears to be a injury from my past, and my doctors are not worried about it... they will watch it, but not with concern. I am HOME... but this is the beginning of the battle. My nurse said that a common COLD could kill me. LITERALLY! So please keep calling, talkin online and other stuff... but I may not let you into my house --- nothing personal!! Thanks again for EVERYTHING!!! I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT THIS FIGHT WOULD BE LIKE WITHOUT ALL OF YOU! I wanna thank my wife for all of her hard work! Her job is normally CRAZY trying to keep track of me... now this! SHE IS AMAZING!! Keep praying for her too!! Above all... Thanks be to my Saviour, who promised to never leave me or forsake me. | | |
| Chemo, day 4Here is the latest from Wayne, along with a picture of he and his "nurse" Querida... I'll keep you posted as I hear more. Tim Madeira . ><O>  I'm feeling much Better today! I practically slept for the whole day. I woke up yesterday with BAD heartburn. So bad that I was hungry but not interested in eating.
I have now started eating with the same intensity that I would run wind-sprints with. Food is now the battle ground. Pray that God will help me to stay focused and that the tumours will shrink at an abnormal fast rate!
FYI - my one tumour grew 3cm last week to 12cm (1in = 2.54cm). It should stop growing now that I'm getting chemo!
What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak, What will people do when they find out it's true, I don't really care if they label me a Jesus Freak... Cause there ain't no disguising the truth, and I ain't into hiding the truth.
