Two Years Ago!

Went for a cycle today with my close friend, Tom, and realized that it is two years since I was diagnosed, and here I am cycling and enjoying the warm spring weather. The thinking back to the 24th September 2011, driving home to pack my bags to go to hospital. I remember that day vividly , it felt like doomsday, could not believe what was happening to me. Looking back at all the things we had to go through, operations, therapy, radiation, stem cell transplant, and refurbishing our house. And so when you look back at the foot prints in the sand, you realize that He was carrying me all the way!

I remember going to church for the first time after I had recovered from everything, and the realization that I had, that all I needed was His grace, and that His grace is more than enough!

2 Corinthians 12:9
But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving- kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!

I also thank all friends and family, and especially my wife, for all the prayer and support they offered me!

Update Test Results

I saw Dr T, yesterday, to review my progress and results. Also to receive my monthly Zometa fix.

Good news, my levels are down! 6 months ago they detected 0,1% MRD, it has now reduced to 0,06%. Our goal is still 0% MRD, so I will still will be receiving Valcade treatment beginning November. Scheduled for another bone marrow biopsy in 6 months time. 

The doc is very happy with my progress, and so am I! In the mean time its time to get back on my bike, and enjoying cycling in the great somer weather! 

Check out this Chris Tomlin video that my Dad sent me, Blessings!

Time for Tests

Well time has flown, I'm at the doctors rooms for my next bone marrow biopsy, I think it's been 6 months from my last test. This is not the greatest, pretty sore! Takes about a week for the results, so I'll see the doc in a weeks time. I really trust for a good report! 0% MRD!

I read an amazing scripture this morning:

Psalms 25:14 (AMP)
The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning.
