Both you and your wife will be in my prayers. For sure you will want to pour on the love now. She may not say so but she needs it, daily.
Grab the promises of God, in His word, hold Him to them. He promised them to you, take them by faith. As Spiritual authority in your house, you have a burden of prayer. But she must also declare these thjngs for herself, as it is her body. Its not so much about kicking things out....but standing on His truth (beyond doctors and their limited knowledge) and taking them by faith. By His stripes you WERE healed No weapon formed against you shall prosper (doesnt say the weapons won't be formed...) "I am the Lord God who healeth thee" Brother, grab that sword of the spirit (promises in His written word) and start swingin it. This will not be your last battle. I'm 2 years free of symptoms of ulcerative colitis, off all meds for that long. God the Creator has all authority over the created..... Praying for those things for you. Sca
Thank you, everyone. We have a couple weeks for the important test to return, but all the standard health levels are good. After four visits like this the doctor brought up the obvious of getting blood draws two weeks prior instead of the day of their visit. I think she is in the best condition. She will be on this medication always, and a three month check up, but the ten year prognosis is pretty good. Likely something else may cause a person to not be with us, rather than the Leukemia. Her only change has been , that a couple of fruits affect the medication effectiveness, so it’s an easy thing. the doctor told me this medication is really not in the best interest of pharmaceutical companies, because it is effective and not costly.
It has been my observation that in that case, the company will sell the rights or do whatever to get the price up. One that really irked me was a medicine had to take that cost us less than $10 per month. Suddenly one month it rose to $19. The next month it was $24. I asked my pharmacist friend why the raise. He asked me if I had ever drove through Kalamazoo on I-94 and noticed all the drug companies as I passed through. Then he told me a name of as company and that they sold out to one of the big companies. Hence, the price increase. Nothing changed with the medicine except the brand name. The last time we bought it was between $40 and $50 dollars. Help the needy, not the greedy.
Thanks for sharing Sourwood Sharing burdens with those who pray makes it easier to carry. I am glad you both have a support group.
Backwoods Savage , yes the present medical situation needs addressed. Alas, the four year work of out incumbent, and his challenger’s prior term show no interest in resolving it.
Prayers for comfort, please. My brother, 7 yrs junior to me, is home from the hospital receiving hospice care. He has COPD, CHF, and diabetes, and is post-stroke. He is a huge man being cared for by his wife who has her own share of health problems and has postponed her cancer surgery so she can be home to care for her husband. It is all so sad. He drifts in and out of confusion. bed reddened.
So sorry to hear about your brother, Larry. May JESUS give y'all peace and comfort, may your brother know JESUS is the Way, Truth and Life
Update on Mrs Sourwood. It took a while to hear back, but her number continue to lower. Not remission but still going that way. Thanks to all for your prayers and support there are indeed miracle drugs.
