Update on Cancer Treatment

 October 16, 2024

Ok – here goes – the eve before Autologous Stem Cell T/Plant

I had a great day with Claire and am feeling very thankful for the opportunity of ASCT starting tomorrow, albeit daunting and intimidating.

I did a Facebook post, recorded a greeting for River of Life for this Sunday, and a 15-min sermon for our Next Gen Leaders camp coming up in a couple of weeks. What a joy!

In personal prayer I have continued to delight in Ezekiel 37v4-5, which I was so encouraged by a couple of weeks ago :

‘O dry bones…Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live…and you shall know that I am The LORD.’

I have such joy and peace that, whether in life or death, He will surely raise me up and I will know that He is The LORD. 🎉🎉🌟🌟

I have also been mightily encouraged by so many people – family, friends, business, church, sphere, Newfrontiers and beyond. THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU for your support, prayer and kindness in every way.

I have done some work on a ‘Quick Reference Guide’ which should hopefully give a summarized perspective on the journey so far and some useful detail on the next days, weeks, and months…with a perspective even to the end of all three phases (with target/potential return date to Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🫶)

I think the Quick Ref guide will have most of what you need for tracking to whatever extent you would like to🫶🫂

PRAYER POINTERS
I’d be so grateful for specific prayer for the following :-

1). That the jugular port would go in well tomorrow and that my body would handle the chemo and all the potent drugs very robustly, including good kidney function.

2). That the medication would be superbly effective and achieve the best possible results over the coming days.

3). That I would get to Day 0 with successful destruction of the disease and successful dialysis – best possible priming for Reinfusion.

I’m anticipating that either Claire or I will be able to give updates as we go along, and further prayer pointers as things unfold.

Huge love and huge blessings,

Scott
