Wonder No More (Part 3)

April 23, 2013

Wow, it’s been a big week since my last blog post. The effects of the radiation treatment have been subsiding and I am now back at work and into the thick of things. The nausea & fatigue have gone and I’m slowly weaning myself off the steroids which I have been taking to stop my brain from swelling. I now have a shiny noggin thanks to delayed onset hair loss but it appears to already be growing back which is promising 🙂

The church I am a member of (Encounter Christian Centre) has put me as the focus of their prayers this last week for healing, and I have been blown away by the response from my church family towards my situation. My story was videoed during the week and played on the big screen at church on both the Sunday services, followed by the entire church standing together in faith-filled prayer to believe for a miracle healing for me. Members of the church have been making meals for our family and offering help for looking after the kids and even cleaning the house! I can’t tell you how incredible it is to know that people are with me and my family through this situation. I will post a link to the video when I get my hands on the copy.

On Monday, I visited the medical oncologist for a routine 3-weekly catch up and he gave me the good news I had been waiting for since my previous blog back in January – the drug company (GSK) that is sponsoring my use of the chemotherapy drug Dabrafenib has agreed to continue with supplying me the drug despite the evidence of ‘new disease’ in my brain. This good news was in part attributable to my medical oncologist who advocated to GSK on my behalf to stay on the drug as the tumours in my lungs had continued to show positive signs of regression despite the brain lesions.

I am currently awaiting confirmation of a follow up MRI or CT scan in the next few weeks which may show results from the radiation treatment as well as the ongoing chemotherapy treatment for my lungs. I will post more info once I know these results.

Keep the faith!
David

    Hi there Superman!

    A very good report all round David.

    God is indeed good!

    Have a prophetic word to give you from last Sunday. Came home after morning service needing a kip but I just couldn’t because of the residing anointing.
    I got pen and paper and wrote down what God gave me. Will type it out for you.

    Have a refreshing week with family and work David.
    Love to Tracy.

    All our love

    Linda and Paul

  5. Great blog post. Some tips i would like to bring up is that computer system memory
    must be purchased when your computer still can’t cope with that which you do by using
    it. One can deploy two random access memory boards containing
    1GB each, for example, but not certainly one of 1GB and one having 2GB.
    One should check the company’s documentation for the
    PC to make certain what type of ram is necessary.
