Chevy’s Path to Complete Healing

Today, Chevy started the drug called Tarceva.  It is an oral pill that she is to take daily.  Her doctor wants to do more testing in two months.

Chevy also reports that she finally shaved her hair.  I haven't seen a pic of it, but the Fontana pic should be similar. 

Thank you for your continued prayers.

so what do u do in fontana? for us, fontana means just staying in the villa - watching tv/dvds, sleeping, making chika-chika, and eating. it's really just a time to bond.

this is memorable as this is the 1st time i've had a picture of my "bald look". i was inspired to have this picture taken when i saw francis magalona's picture.I realized that God willing, this will be the first and last time I will have this 'do, so I gotta have a souvenir! :-) More pictures to come, promise!! So you guys better watch out! :-)

       

Whatever the result maybe, it's part of God's plan.  To Him be all the glory.

To my prayer warriors - family, friends, acquaintance, and even strangers - thank you very much for praying for me..  May you continue to do so, until we see the fulfillment of God's plan in my life.

For the past 2 fridays on my way to  and from St Lukes, hearing this specific song moved me to tears.  May this be our prayer today and everyday ....

Chevy got her PET scan last night.  As I was thinking about her and praying for her, I was reminded of this verse.  It is my prayer for her and for our family.

Isaiah 26:3-4

 3 You will keep in perfect peace
       him whose mind is steadfast,
       because he trusts in you.

 4 Trust in the LORD forever,
       for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.

I was thinking of Chevy and my family as this verse flashed during worship time at church today.

 ² He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
       out of the mud and mire;
       he set my feet on a rock
       and gave me a firm place to stand.

 ³ He put a new song in my mouth,
       a hymn of praise to our God.
       Many will see and fear
       and put their trust in the LORD.

 ⁴ Blessed is the man
       who makes the LORD his trust,
       who does not look to the proud,
       to those who turn aside to false gods. ^[a]

 ⁵ Many, O LORD my God,
       are the wonders you have done.
       The things you planned for us
       no one can recount to you;
       were I to speak and tell of them,
       they would be too many to declare.

 ⁶ Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
       but my ears you have pierced ^[b] , ^[c] ;
       burnt offerings and sin offerings
       you did not require.

 ⁷ Then I said, "Here I am, I have come—
       it is written about me in the scroll. ^[d]

 ⁸ I desire to do your will, O my God;
       your law is within my heart."

 ⁹ I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly;
       I do not seal my lips,
       as you know, O LORD.

 ¹⁰ I do not hide your righteousness in my heart;
       I speak of your faithfulness and salvation.
       I do not conceal your love and your truth
       from the great assembly.

 ¹¹ Do not withhold your mercy from me, O LORD;
       may your love and your truth always protect me.

 ¹² For troubles without number surround me;
       my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.
       They are more than the hairs of my head,
       and my heart fails within me.

 ¹³ Be pleased, O LORD, to save me;
       O LORD, come quickly to help me.

 ¹⁴ May all who seek to take my life
       be put to shame and confusion;
       may all who desire my ruin
       be turned back in disgrace.

 ¹⁵ May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!"
       be appalled at their own shame.

 ¹⁶ But may all who seek you
       rejoice and be glad in you;
       may those who love your salvation always say,
       "The LORD be exalted!"

 ¹⁷ Yet I am poor and needy;
       may the Lord think of me.
       You are my help and my deliverer;
       O my God, do not delay.

Hi Everyone,

Chevy missed her Erbitux treatment again today.  This is the third time two weeks after chemo that she has missed her Erbitux treatment.  Her white count was too low.  She is once again on prophylactic antibiotics.  Other than this unwanted turn of events, she is doing very well.  Thank you for your continued prayers.  Next week will be a stressful time for her as she awaits her PET scan.  Please pray for peace above all else, and total surrender to the Lord's will and timing. 

We continue to put our faith in the Lord, our Healer.

O Lord my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.  - Psalm 30:2

But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. - Malachi 4:2a

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Thank you very much for sustained prayers for Chevy.  She has finished 6 cycles of chemo by God's grace with very minimal discomfort and side effects.  We thank and praise God for His faithfulness during this trying season of our lives.  On March 12 she will have a PET scan to assess her condition.  Please join us to pray for complete healing result at 7 AM and 7 PM everyday starting tomorrow till March 16 when results will be out.  Please pass this prayer request to your prayer warriors.  May God bless you for your love for Chevy and may God's name be glorified!
