My First Radiation Treatment Report

I made it through my first radiation treatment Tuesday morning! I felt like I was in a Star Trek movie with the strange machine and sounds. It's definitely space age! I prayed and worshiped as I drove to the Radiology Oncology Center. 


When I lay down on the table, and they positioned me in the molded form, an old song came to mind. "Thou oh LORD art a shield for me, my glory and the lifter of my head." I've been praying He would be my shield. I've prayed that He will shield my heart, my lungs, my good cells, my skin, my lymph nodes, and so on. I'm praying that only cancer cells and any meany cells will be destroyed.
CANCER DIE THE DEATH IN JESUS' NAME!
I PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS OVER MY BODY FOR PROTECTION!

 I just lay there in that mold being still for maybe 15 or 20 minutes while they got ready and did the treatment. I whispered "Jesus" a couple times, then sang the song in my head every time they told me to hold my breath while they zapped me. God got me through. 

 I wonder if this will make me more radiant? I'm tired tonight from the emotion of it all, and sore from holding my arms over my head, but otherwise I am fine. 

I'll have treatments every weekday morning until March 2nd now. 

Thank you for praying! 

 Laura

 P.S. Yes, I will be going to bed earlier tomorrow night!

    Laura, I had no idea you were going through all of this. I am so sorry for being such a bad blogging friend. I am keeping you in my deepest heartfelt prayers. My husband went through radiotherapy for Prostrate cancer last year and thankfully the radiation did the trick. He was very tired for a time afterwards, but it now starting to feel somewhat normal again. God bless you in your battle. May you be victorious. Love and hugs. xoxo

      No troubles Marie. I understand. Since all this started last spring, I haven't been visiting blogs as much. I appreciate your prayers. I don't have your email address, so I hope you see this.

      Thank you Penny. I needed it. I'm sure it will be easier and quicker today.
      I just have to keep my focus on God. It's a bit scary lying there knowing
      how powerful those machines are.

      Thank you so much, Kim. I appreciate your kindness.
      Today was easier. I knew where to go and what to do.
      I still didn't want to look at the machine. It's a lot
      of power that I hope doesn't malfunction.

    Laura, I hope you have someone who can drive you back & forth for your treatments. As a breast cancer survivor I can share that radiation knocks the wind out of your sails. Blessings to you & yours for this journey.

    Laura, I was just wondering about you and how you were doing and had to come find you. My heart goes out to you and I'm praying that you will continue to do well. I can't imagine what this is like, but you are so strong and so brave, a true inspiration for us all. My mother in law is starting radiation for Breast Cancer very shortly, she is also extremely close to God and her faith is astounding. Praying for both of you ladies. *hugs*
