New Chemo

I started this week with a new series of Chemo. A medi-port was put in on Tuesday, and I had my first infusion of Chemo on Wednesday. Today I had my first shot which is supposed to supplement the Chemo. There are some side effects that I've been told about and have read about. They probably won't start for another week or so. I am to have a shot every day for five days and then nothing until my second Chemo infusion, which is to be three weeks after the first. Three week later, there will be tests to see if the drugs are working. If all goes well, I will be eligible for an experimental program at the University of Chicago down the road. Once again, it is all in the hands of the Lord. I am resting in Him.

The kind of cancer I have and where it is located-near the carotid artery-makes it very possible that I could "go home" to heaven at any time. So, each morning I wake up and thank the Lord for this new day and try my best to do His will. I am resting in Him. His "little lamb," safe and secure.

A wonderful thing that is going to happen is that the Fine Arts Building at Judson University (Formerly called "Judson College") is to be named after Ed and me! I feel so honored and at the same time, humbled, because I know that anything Ed or I did was only with the help of the Lord. How many prayers did we send up for wisdom for what we were doing!! I know that Ed must be very happy about this honor. The dedication is to be at Homecoming on Friday, September 26th.

I have had very encouraging reports on my book, "Do Not Go, My Love: An Odyssey of Eight Years with Stroke and Dementia." If you want a copy, contact Warren Anderson at wanderson@Judsonu.edu or try Amazon.com- they are supposed to have it or can get it. I'm working hard on a new book, "I Laughed When They Told Me I Had Cancer." It will be a sequel to the first one.

May God bless each and every one of you. He is sufficient for every need that you may have and has promised to be with you in all times of trouble. I pray that you all have given your lives over to Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord. It is the only way to live, and He has promised Eternal Life with Him in heaven to everyone who believes. John 3:16,17.
