November 17, 2009- Tuesday My Liver is back!
Thank you God for answering all the prayers. My whole day was made when the RN from the Doctors office called and said that my liver was no longer elevated, and returned to the middle of the normal range. The problem with cancer and the liver, is the die off rate from the chemo and the speed in which the liver can filter out the dead cells ( good and bad cells).
Note: My body is responding very well to the chemo treatment. The chemo is killing everything in sight which is bad, but I 'm doing a lot of things right and God is blessing me with health. There are 3 measures as to how cancer goes away, (decrease abnormal cells and / or increase the immune system), including;
#1. The Liver ( AST) 0-40 normal range. On 11-10-09 I was at 103, today 27 YAA!
#2. CBC for size, numbers, and maturity of cells. WBC's ( white blood cells that fight infection) normal range 4.5-10.5 ,on 11-10-09 my WBC's were at 3.0 which is too low to fight off bad WBc's, they gave me a shot (6 ml of Neulastra). Today my WBC's at a normal level YAA!
#3. LDH- is a general indicator of the existence of the severity of Cell tissue damage. 11-10-09 normal range 100-250, I'm at 251 which means high damage. However, the infection is being destroyed so that's the good. The goal is to get the indicators in normal range and keep them there. Pray for minimal cell damage.
Prayer request: Lord please help my internal organs avoid damage, the liver, the spleen, the kidneys, the heart, the lungs, the thyroid, the lymphoid, and help lower my LDH to a perfect level, give me an appetite and the strength to keep eating.
I'm feeling a little tired of the battle, God will you hold my torch for awhile as I need the strength only you can give me. I know my road is long, keep me in your presence Lord. Thank you God for answering these prayers, we love you.
I am currently reading 3 books and they all have a common theme, focus on Positive Mental Imaging. Visualize the infection going away. Meditate daily on what it will feel like after the cancer is gone. Whole body healing, mind, body, and soul. My soul is good, I have a great relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy spirit, but my Mind needs help.
Stress, being to wound up, not living in the present, but always multi tasking about future events. I am now going back to the simple things and clearing my mind for positive mental healing. Emotional anticipation (Hope) for the new life I am now living. I think stress played a role in getting sick. I need to change my life currently, and going forward to get well . A complete life style change.
Note: I have been complaining about my stomach being sore; it was my liver. I didn't know the liver is at the top of the stomach just below the ribs on both sides. It makes sense that my liver would be in pain with all the chemo drugs and dead cells that are being filtered out of my blood. Thank you all for the prayers, and know that you are also blessed for blessing others.
