This morning I went in for yet another MRI. I think this is number six or maybe, lucky number seven! Next week I'm scheduled to start chemo and radiation therapies. Today was the last MRI image to be taken before those treatments commence. Since I have been drinking the tea prescribed by the Grand Master of ancient Qi Gong medicine for a couple of weeks, and no new symptoms have presented themselves and I am praying that this picture of my brain will show no more growth of the tumor.
I also know that many of you reading my blog here are praying for myself and Lorraine. Thank you for that! Because I have no new symptoms I am actually sure we'll see some progress and that the tumor's growth has been arrested. If I am wrong, and it is still growing, then I would be concerned… but for now I am very pleased to say there are no new symptoms at this point
That is not to say however that I have regained use of my left hand or that my left arm has gotten any stronger- it has not. But sometimes no news is good news, and that is how I am taking this current lack of new symptoms. I must remain positive as negative energy will only feed this tumor. My wife remains, and always will, such an incredible source of strength for me. All too often she is the only positive energy I feel during the course of the day. Needless to say, I still thank God for Lorraine every single day. Without her there is no way I could get through this without an in-home caregiver/therapist
My wife wears so many hats during the course of the day that it amazes me how positive she remains. Not to mention her uplifting smile! She always, always, always makes me feel good, even on bad days. I remain eternally grateful for the loving God that put Lorraine and I together and blessed this wonderful marriage with the love we enjoy together. I may have some physical challenges currently, but I know in my heart that I am blessed man to marry such a strong beautiful woman. Thank you Jesus!

Hi Paul-
Am back from vacation and other social stuff - read the recent update and am very encouraged with the Qi Gong tea and other treatments. You and Lorraine are constantly in my thoughts and prayers - will send much healing energy your way each evening. Kristi
Hi Paul,
that tea definitely sounds like it is healing you!(and of course, God!) I have heard of TCM-Traditional Chinese Medicine and those teas I hear are very potent and can work in that short a time! =) I am so happy to hear that your wonderful wife has been such a loving support to you! Thinking all good thoughts and only affirming and visualizing you in perfect health! xoxo
