Approaching next scan

 


The above painting was created by Rotina Shepherd who was the wife of a friend and fellow Oathkeeper David Shepherd. Rotina lost her battle with Cancer in 2007. She was only 45 yrs old. Rotina was an artist and David shared with Rand that this painting which she named "Three Sisters" was her last painting prior to succombing to Cancer.

Rand had taken a trip to Jonesboro and visited with David while there. During his visit, David presented Rand with this beautiful painting and asked Rand to give it to me. The gesture so touched me and I cherish this special gift. Thank you David for sharing Rotina's story and gifted artistry.

My next scan is March 30th, 2010. I approach it with anticipation and am hopeful that it will show that my abdominal tumor is continueing to show regression and no additional tumors are found. I continue to eat an 80% Alkaline diet, take my supplements, homeopathics, magnetic therapy and laser light therapy.

I try diligently to stay positive and find joy, thankfulness and purpose in every day. Yes, the fear is always there but I keep it tucked inside, in my alone place.

As I approach my next scan, I want to acknowledge friends who are also fighting their own cancer dragon. Michelle, Jan, Ginger's Dad...I lift you all and pray for your complete healing. You are not alone. We are bound as the "Three Sisters" in Rotina's art. A tie that has bound us as family.

May your hearts be not weary, may the sun's warmth blanket you, may you continue to radiate your light to those around you and know that you have purpose in this world. May hope and faith fill your hearts and love embrace you~
