Thank You for all your Love and Prayers

Today is the last update to the SCT website. Creating and maintaining the website throughout the SCT was a great healing experience. The feedback from the website kept my spirits soaring. All our prayers made the SCT happen in record time with no infections and major nausea. The Power of Prayer and deep faith in believing I will be healed has increased my confidence in dealing with breast cancer. Miracles have occurred throughout history and will continue to occur. God has given us the supernatural powers of Faith, Hope and Love. Thank you for using these powers to help me heal.
I went to see Dr. Spitzer and had a good check-up. I estimated my platelets were at 70K and he said 76K. The power of prayer achieved a result of 165K platelets!!!! My WBC is 6K and RBC is 31. I still am very tired and the trip to the Doctor's wiped me out. I also found out I will have to start radiation treatments by the end of April when my isolation rest period is over. There is no rest for the weary and I have to keep slaying the dragon.
I would like to end with a prayer to Mother Mary. I have been blessing myself every morning with Lourdes water asking Mother Mary to heal me so I can raise my children. I am not leaving John, John & Gina. My girlfriend Cathy's mother-in-law gave me Lourdes water from her visit to Lourdes. I was running out of Lourdes water and was asking God "What am I going to do, I need more Lourdes water" The next day I received a solicitation from the Oblate Missions asking for support in return for a bottle of Lourdes water!!! It is so true when Our Lord says ask and you shall receive. I have been so blessed with these signs from heaven during my treatments. I received my new bottle of Lourdes water on Feb. 3rd, the day I started pretreatment for the SCT.

Our Lady of Lourdes

O Mother of mercy, health of the sick, refuge of sinners, comforter of the afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings. Look with mercy on me. By appearing at the Grotto of Lourdes you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary, where you dispense your favors. Many of those who suffer have been cured of their infirmities, both physical and spiritual. I come, therefore, with complete confidence to implore your intercession. O loving Mother, if it is God's will grant, my requests. In gratitude for your favors, I will endeavor to imitate your virtues, that I may one day share in your glory. Amen
