化療威力 神恩超過 He is more powerful than Chemo

4月15開始化療

4月16 中午開始面孔發熱紅了起初以為是家裡熱。半夜開始頭痛，牙床痛。

化療藥真不能低估其威力。致電醫院，矚找我的家庭醫生，因為要由她主持大局看看我要就那個醫生談。我聽話回到床上默想當日的詩篇，和臨睡前唱的有一道河這歌: 

一道江河流呀流呀
流到丰盛的生命
颂赞奇妙荣耀的圣名
我灵歌唱唱呀唱呀
唱到灵里都欢欣
主圣灵现在来掌权运行 

其間神提醒我，我是上帝之城， 要心中喜樂，因有上帝住在其中。天一亮  上帝的幫助就要臨到，不覺地入睡了

 

早上起來，牙床出血面孔發熱紅腫脹到了下巴，感謝神見了化療醫生Dr. Dutia，她說頭痛是由於止嘔藥, (Ondansetron)停之. 感謝神不用止嘔藥我也OK，神奇妙作為已開始彰顯。面孔發熱和紅腫脹是我對化療藥 (Paclitaxel)的敏感和反應，一般人很少有。Dr. Dutia說但都讓我有了，期待麻煩多恩典更多的經歷。開了過敏藥。臨走她說, "Please keep on prayer". 

晚上覺得面沒有那麼熨。我知道是會好的，神已說了。

 

神啊請讓我的靈常高聲歌唱

唱呀唱呀 唱到灵里都欢欣

讓你的應許早些來到

天早些兒亮 

聖經:有一道河，這河的分汊使上帝的城歡喜； 這城就是至高者居住的聖所。 上帝在其中，城必不動搖； 到天一亮，上帝必幫助這城。Psalm 46:4-5

今天聽了"The Holy City" 不下十次。好偉大的聖詩。

Hosanna, to the Highest, Hosanna for ever more

明天4/20(一)驗血；4/22 第二次化療

 

4/15  Begin chemo

4/16  Noon. My face started to feel warm with flushing.  I thought it was just the weather.

Midnight.  Came down with a headache.  So was my gum.  Don’t underestimate the power of chemo.  I called the hospital, and they instructed me to talk to my primary care physician.  I went back to bed.  The psalm I read that morning and the song I sang that night came to mind.  

“A river flows to the glorious life

Praise that wonderful glorious holy name

My soul will sing

until my spirit rejoice

The Spirit of the Lord rules.” 

I was reminded that I am a city of God.  I shall rejoice because God dwells within.  His rescue shall surely come at the break of day.  It was in these thoughts that I felt asleep. 

My gum began to bleed in the morning, and I could feel my face had swollen up down to the chin.  Praise God I was able to see Dr. Dutia.  She said the headache came from the anti-emetic (Ondansetron).  So I stopped it. I am thankful that without it, I am OK, no neusia.  The facial flushing was the result of an allergic reaction to the chemo drug Paclitaxel - a rare reaction to most.  

She gave me a prescription for the allergy and said, “Please keep on praying.”

 

The flushing got betting already at night.  I knew it would get better.  God told me so. 

Oh God, let my soul sing to you.  

I will keep on singing till I rejoice in my spirit.

May your promises come early.

May I see the break of day soon.

 

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,

the holy place where the Most High dwells.

God is within her, she will not fall;

God will help her at break of day.

Today, has been listening the great hymn "The Holy City" more than 10 times.  

Hosanna, to the Highest, Hosanna for ever more 

tomorrow 4/20 blood draw

4/22 2nd chemo treatment
