GO ON, I'll Catch Up. I Need A Few Moments.

This is a posting of my journey, which began July 4th. I've always considered it Independence day... I now know it was my Dependence Day.

Please, won't you follow me?

Hi everyone. It's been a while since I posted here. But here is a brief recap of what has been going on with me and my battle against Cancer.
It was July 5th, 2020 when I was first diagnosed. Started chemo and radiation in October. December 18th I died for 17 seconds, from complications of cancer, liver infection and covid, while at St Agnes. They called Leticia and said make arrangements, he won't make it past 24 hours. HOWEVER, GOD HAD HIS PLAN. After going from 183 lbs down to a weak, sick, vomiting everything, losing taste, smell and feel (neuropathy of hands and feet) 129lbs.... here I am. I have a long way to go. I know. I finally hit the 140lb mark, but I will never be the same. I know. But I also know that it doesn't matter. I fear nothing. I'm on a journey as GOD intended it to be. I am now and advocate and ambassador for the American Cancer Society. I have good days, and still many bad days. But I have my Faith, my family and all of you, my dear friends. Keep the prayers going, as Leticia and I pray for all of you. GOD gave me a miraculous 2nd chance, and I cherish it everyday. There could have been an empty chair at our Christmas dinner table, but HE didn't let that happen..... I am truly blessed and humbled. Glory be to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ . Amen ~Gil

Faith...Faith..... it's GOD'S promise to us.
God bless you all, as He has done for me and family. Amen

Well, back at it and getting another cocktail, and not the kind on my shirt! I decided to do some more preventive care and added 2 more sessions, albeit lower dosages. My numbers are very good, and after prayers and discussing with my wife and family, and consulting with my team of doctors, we have decided to travel this path of prevention in conquering this battle.
Gil 4 - Cancer 0. It knocked me down, but Im up for another round. Bring it on!!!

Well, here we are. I can't tell you how much my Prayer Tin has pulled me through some tough times. And to be able to go back even now, 11 weeks later, and read the notes..... it's tough. Again, thank you for the continued prayers as you are all in ours also. Nothing so powerful as Faith and Prayer. My love goes out to my Sophia who calls me every night and says prayers with me....She's 12. Can recite scripture without her bible. Amazing angel of GOD. Have a blessed weekend everyone, be safe. ~ Gil & Leticia

Hello, everyone. Its been a bit since I put an entry in my Sophia's Prayer Tin. Its been an up and down couple of weeks. Ive been feeling well for the most part, but Chemo is NO easy passage. Just when I think Ive got this, its there to try and take me down. Eat, rest, focus and prayer has pulled me through. I am grateful for my team of doctors and staff, to my family who support me on a daily basis, to my wife, Leticia, who never lets me fall to this horrid disease. To ALL of you, my friends and prayer warriors who inspire me. To those who have messaged ME, to tell me I have inspired them. Humbled. All in a day of GODS work. ~Amen.

UPDATE: Well, I was told I probably would not lose my hair, however, as you can see....WRONG. I will probably be shaving it soon. I have to admit, Im having trouble dealing with it. The least of my health problems, I know. Just venting. Next time you see me, Ill be a bald headed, suit wearing, wine toting Mr.Worldwine. Im feeling good otherwise, went through chemo with minimal discomfort, and Im grateful to God for that blessing. It allows me to keep doing what I enjoy. Thanks for letting me vent. ~Gil

UPDATE: I AM OVERWHELMED. I look at my page here, and am humbled to my knees for all the love and prayers I and my family have received. To know, this much love and caring is out there, for me, is eye opening. My heart is filled with each and every one of you. HOWEVER, I hold no false hope that I am cured, that I dont still have a journey, that tomorrow couldn't change in a heart beat, as It did on July 5th. Nothing is promised. I have turned this over to my God who has walked with me in this journey and Im NOT giving up. I will continue to fight this disease, for me and everyone else suffering this monster. I hope I can be an inspiration to those who are feeling down. DONT LET IT! Stay positive, trust in your faith. Love you all. ~Gil

P.S. I keep forgetting to include my BAILEY MAXIMUS. He truly has been there for me every minute. He lies on my chest and gives me reassurance when I break down late at night. Listens to me intensely, and always gives me love. So grateful for my Bailey.

UPDATE: Well, had my Chemo session, but had some additional blood work ordered by my encologist team, which scared me, because they wanted a secondary test to confirm some findings. NOT Good in my mind. So, I go thru chemo with elevated bp, nervous, wondering what did they find? Why? Im doing everything right. Eating, weight maintenance, pills, lots of water intake...what? End of day and they come in, pull up low sitting stools, eye level (learned in law school, when message needs to be laser, direct and impactive.. youre on their level) and then it began. Line by line.. WBC- high, but expected with meds. RBC- good, normal. Hemoglobin very stable, good. IRON - which was down to 2 is now normal at 9.3 everything good. BUT.... (they all look at me) this is the test we were questioning. Your CA125. Your cancer tumor marker. Came in to hospital on July 5th, diagnosed on July 10th before surgery at 89.6. 89.6 not good. Now after 1 chemo session.... 15.3! 15.3! WHAT!? Thats why the second test. They were amazed at the progress. That shows the cancer was removed, the white blood cells are neutralizing, body is healing. No sign of cancer in the blood, bone or intestine. We will continue 2 more sessions, making it 4 and then rescan and test. HALLELUJAH! GOD IS GOOD. Your continued prayers are good. I turned it over to Him and all of you for my guidance and faith, and its working. Ive got a ways to go, but WE will do this. Love you all! Couldnt wait to share the miracles of Prayer.
