Update & Ongoing Prayers

Updates

I was seen by a Dermatology Oncologist and his Associate on Friday at BC Vancouver Cancer Clinic. They told me I will need both treatment and surgery. I was also told that I will need to see a Medical Oncologist and should have the appointment within 2 weeks who will plan out my Treatment. Next week the Team of Dermatology/Oncologists, Surgeons, Medical/Oncologists will meet together & discuss my case and plan out my treatment that they recommend. I will then go back to the Cancer Clinic and receive the results and their recommendations for the Treatment they feel is best suited for me. In all of this I feel well cared for by the Team at the Cancer Clinic. I have God’s Peace Strength and His Healing Touch that surrounds me day by day! I will let you know when my Treatment Plan is put in place. Thank you for your continued Prayers.

Thank you all for your prayers and your valued friendship, you are a blessing in which I thank God!

Another quick update:

I was at the Cancer Clinic most of yesterday to meet with the Oncologists to discuss my Plan of Care & Treatment Plan...I will be seeing another Medical Oncologist to plan the type of treatment they suggest that is best for me and when the next surgery will be, we discussed Immunotherapy and the types of drugs they use that will hopefully stop the growth and to bring healing to my body.

Appreciate your prayers as I continue this journey into my next stage of treatment. Bottom line I am believing that I will be healed and cancer free. In the meantime I leave this in God's Hands and Keep Shining for the Lord as I witness God's Grace, Strength, Peace and His Healing Touch upon my body...

God's Blessings All...

Good Morning Team,

Some of you might not know but last July 2019 I was seen by a specialist for what I thought was for my psoriasis that was out of control. Instead he saw some area on my face that didn't normal so examined me and did a biopsy, it came back as Malignant Spreading type Melanoma. Surgery was needed, I ended up by having 2 surgeries one in August and 2 weeks later another.

By Mid-November it was not under control and came back growing in same place but in further areas. They kept a watch on it with tests and skin examination. In December I had a dental appointment and ended up by seeing a Dentist who was covering, she looked inside my mouth checked cheek in and outside mouth and sent a referral to a Pathologist. From that appointment I saw Oncologist Head and Neck Surgeon and had a Pet Scan and another Biopsy which came back as Spreading Malignant Melanoma.

Surgery was ordered again but this time I am being seen by another Oncologist to discuss another treatment that will go along with surgery.

I saw the surgeon on Tuesday past, after examining me and reading reports he sent a referral for me to see a Oncologist at the Cancer clinic to discuss immunotherapy and what drugs to use for my treatment, he said I would benefit with the referral so treatment can be planned, he said I will require both Surgery and some form of treatment like Immunotherapy, using a combination of drugs that stop the growth and hopefully promote healing.

Unfortunately the surgery is much more involved this time, he said he would have to take more tissue and a wider area to remove the malignant mass which will result in further nerve and muscle damage!

In spite of the news I know I am covered in God’s Grace, Strength and His Healing touch...Bottom line I am held in the Palms of God's Hands. He is my Healer and He is watching over me.

The Clinic called me on Thursday past to confirm that they had received the referral from the Surgeon and would call me with a appointment in next few days.

To my surprise the phone rang at around 3:00pm Saturday afternoon from the Cancer Clinic telling me I had an appointment for Friday, February 28th to see the Oncologist, wow in just 4 days from referral being sent I receive a call for an appointment for the following week, now that was really fast. God moved the mountains. Indeed, I feel well cared for by this Medical Team!

Yes, I will beat this and know God has me in just the right Hospitals and being seen by just the right Surgeons and Specialists who are looking after me.. God is Good! Thank you all for your many prayers and your support! God Bless you all...
