I am officially no longer taking treatments for cancer. My liver is failing and the treatments would just add to my suffering and/or the deterioration of my liver. My prognosis is now less than two months, although things could go differently. The focus is on comfort and improving my sleep pattern.
I know my recent posts have sounded down. Until I got a stronger pain medication, I indeed was feeling quite miserable. The new medication is helping, though it has its own side effects.
I have enjoyed having my children spending time with me. And soon other family members will come to Tennessee to see my husband and me. That will be a blessing.I am trying to use the time I have to finish some writing and crocheting and getting things organized around here, particularly paperwork. I am also spending time reading the Bible and thanking and praising the Lord for His mercies that are new each day.
"I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord; the humble shall here thereof and be glad. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears. " Psalms 34: 1-4

"Day by day, and with each passing moment strenth I find, to meet my trials here; trusting in my Father's wise bestowment, I've no cause for worry or for fear. He whose heart is kind beyond all measure gives unto each day what He deems best. Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure, mingling toil with peace and rest. Every day the Lord Himself is near me with a special mercy for each hour; All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me, He whose name is Counselor and Power. The protection of His child and treasure is a charge that on Himself He laid; As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure, this the pledge to me He made. Help me then in every tribulation so to trust Thy promises, O Lord, that I lose not faith's sweet consolation offered me within Thy Holy Word. Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting, E'er to take, as from a father's hand, one by one, the days, the moments fleeting, till I reach the Promised Land."
Praying and loving you,
Tammy
