A Clean Bill of Health!

Happiness is a clean bill of health from your Oncologist!


I went back to my Oncologist yesterday  for the first time since the end of my chemotherapy treatment. It really wasn't any big deal for me......until I drove the familiar route to the hospital and surrounding medical buildings.  As soon as I entered the parking area by Medical Building 2, my mind filled with memories of last summer when I was going through chemo. An uneasiness seized me for a moment.  The feelings I felt back then came flooding over me - the anxiety, the fear, the uncertainty, the heat! (Last summer in Rocklin, we had many days over 100*.)  As I parked and walked up to the building, I saw people who I thought were cancer patients and those who were there to support them. I thought of what they were currently going through. Then I thought of myself, a recovering cancer patient with the only physical sign of cancer to a casual observer, short hair that is in process of growing out.  And I was thankful I was through chemo! I was thankful for my doctors and nurses. I was thankful for treatment for cancer. . . . And then I was even thankful for chemo! God was good to me.  God was IS my strength!


The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.
Psalms 28:7

Health Update
At my appointment, the doctor went over the results of some blood work I had done last Thursday.  And yes, thank the Lord, everything looked good!  (Sigh of relief!)  Yes, thank you Lord!
