Healing Scriptures to pray daily.......

If you are waiting for the full manifestation of healing to come into your body or mind, put God in remembrance of His Word, by speaking His Word. Jesus defeated Satan, by "It is written." You can defeat him this way, too.

A Prayer for Healing of Cancer....Courtesy of My Perfect Stranger.

There are many different kinds of cancer that attack the human body, but cancers in general share certain characteristics. Cancer basically represents a failure of the body's immune system with a weakening in T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells that are designed to recognize and attack abnormally dividing cancer cells.

Cancer tends to create its own system of blood vessels (angiogenesis) to supply the increased amount of blood needed to sustain tumor growth. By understanding some of these processes contributing to cancer growth, we can pray specifically and effectually. On the natural side, God has provided substances from His creation hat both strengthen our immune systems (glutathione, selenium, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10, zinc, B vitamins) and actually kill abnormal cancer calls (catechins from green tea extract, sulforophane from brocolli, lycopene). We should seek God in prayer as to what He would have us to do in the natural as we also seek Him in faith to do the supernatural.

Father,
I thank you that through the name of Jesus, you have given me authority over the works of darkness that would attack my body. I therefore speak to cancer and command it to cease in my body. I speak specifically to my immune system and command the T cells and other components to be activated and to rise up against abnormal cancer cells. I command the cancer's blood supply to wither and die and for the abnormal cancer cell divisions to stop. I ask you, Father, to reveal to me those natural substances you would have me to use to strengthen my immune system. I ask you to also reveal those herbal substances and extracts you would have me to use to kill and overcome cancer cells in my body. As I do what I can and know to do in the natural, I look to you, Father, to touch my body supernaturally, and I thank you that by the stripes of your son, Jesus, I was healed and my manifestation of healing is on the way. In Jesus' name, I thank you for my healing.

Amen. It is done.

A Perfect Stranger......

Unspeakable Speaks....

We walk by people daily never saying a word to them. Often times I find myself wondering what a persons' life must be like: imagining how their voice must sound, what they like, who they love, and what drives them. All of my questions could be answered with a simple gesture..by saying hello. I don't know about you, but the thought of having someone reject my gesture of hello by either ignoring me or choosing not to respond has kept me in many cases from venturing out to have my questions of character answered. When I go to radiation, I keep to myself only communicating with my "machine team" and radiation oncologist. I have made it a habit to avoid my urges to have my character questions answered not because the other patients don't want to be bothered, but because my own insecurities surface when I enter the building. The only conversations that I have held with other patients have been as a result of them engaging in conversation with me. I can't help but to think that they had the same if not more "questions of character" for me and the insecurities that I let stop me, did not hinder them from connecting with another human being.


Last Thursday as I sat in the waiting room, a young lady walked in to meet the other members of her family. As she approached, I noticed that she gave me a second glance after the initial one. Her family eager to leave, she walked over to me and said hello. I looked at her and said hello back and as I did, she handed me several pieces of paper and told me to have a good day. I accepted the papers and thanked her. When I looked down, I realized that what she had given me was "life". That perfect stranger had given me a handout that consisted of a prayer and scriptures for healing. What an amazing gift to give to someone sitting in a hospital waiting room. This perfect stranger had no idea why I was there, but she put aside all of her insecurities and fear of rejection to bless me. That experience provided me with an unimaginable lesson in humility.

I wanted to share that experience with all of you because what that perfect stranger did was a true act of Christian love . How many of us would have taken that step to bless someone else without being asked? There are people in the church that won't even speak to others, much less hand them a tool necessary for their healing. It is imperative that we mature in our Christian experience, by demonstrating acts of kindness towards others:believers and unbelievers alike. You never know whose soul may be saved as a result of your actions.

To My Perfect Stranger:
It is my prayer that God bless you and your family triple that of what you have blessed me with. I pray that every scripture that you handed me comes alive in your life and that healing manifest in your life and the lives of those around you. I pray that you prosper even as your soul prospers. I believe with you that God can change things and people and because of you, I am forever changed for the better. Be Blessed.

Radioactive Pt. 2.5!!!

Unspeakable speaks:
You asked..well here it is. This is what the machine used to give radiation looks like. There are different variations of this machine used to administer the external beam radiation therapy.



What is external beam radiation therapy?
Glad you asked.... External beam radiation therapy comes from a machine that aims radiation at your cancer. The machine is large and may be noisy (sounds like you getting a tattoo..but 2x's louder...my opinion). It does not touch you , but rotates around you, sending radiation to your body from many directions. External beam radiation therapy is a local treatment, meaning that the radiation is aimed only at a specific part of your body. For example, if you have lung cancer, you will get radiation to your chest only and not the rest of your body.


For the First timers.....what you should look forward to:
What happens before your first external beam radiation treatment?
You will have a 1-2 hour meeting with your doctor or nurse before you begin radiation therapy. At this time, you will have a physical exam, talk about your medical history and maybe imaging tests. Your doctor or nurse will discuss with you external beam radiation therapy, its benefits and side effects, and ways you can care for yourself during and after treatment. You can then choose whether to have external beam radiation therapy.

If you agree to have external beam radiation therapy, you will be scheduled for a treatment planning session called a simulation. At this time:

• A radiation oncologist and radiation therapist will define your treatment area (also called a treatment port or preferably treatment field.) This refers to the places in your body that will get radiation. You will be asked to lie very still while x-rays or scans are taken to define the treatment area.

• The radiation therapist will then put small marks (tattoos or dots of colored ink) on your skin to mark the treatment area. You will need these marks throughout the course of radiation therapy. The radiation therapist will use them each day to make sure you are in the correct position. Tattoos are about the size of a freckle and will remain on your skin for the rest of your life. Ink markings will fade over time. Be careful not to remove them and make sure to tell the radiation therapist if they fade or lose color.

Radioactive Pt. 2!!!

"There are no accidents, only nature throwing her weight around. Even the bomb merely releases energy that nature has put there. Nuclear war would be just a spark in the grandeur of space. Nor can radiation "alter" nature: she will absorb it all. After the bomb, nature will pick up the cards we have spilled, shuffle them, and begin her game again."

Camille Paglia

Unspeakable speaks:
In my last post, I spoke about my apprehension concerning getting radiation therapy and how I had to adopt a selfless attitude to the process and move forward. I am now in my third week of radiation treatments and to tell you the truth it isn't that bad despite my feelings towards it. Because of my love for quotes, I felt like the quote above was applicable to my posts on radiation. My interpretation of this quote is simply this, "We don't control anything, despite our efforts." We are given life along with its' gifts, people, passions, pains, and stresses; what we do with it is our responsibility. The rest is up to God (even though this quote refers to mother nature...He directs her too)! The responsibility that rests with us is to live healthy lives from the point of enlightenment forward. This blog is just a tool to help you maintain a positive perspective about the cancer experience and abandon any "radioactive" or cancerous mindsets. If you have been diagnosed with cancer, It is "your" experience and one that can either make you stronger and resilient or fearful and weak.

As I mature, I realize that the more educated that I am on a subject, the less fearful I am of it. Education is power. With that being said, I have put together a little fact list from Duke University Hospital for those interested in what radiation is like. Please take the opportunity to educate and empower yourselves. I did.

What is radiation therapy?
a cancer treatment that uses high does of radiation to kill cancer cells and stop them from spreading. At low doses, radiation is used as an x-ray to see inside your body and take pictures, such as x-rays of your teeth or broken bones. Radiation used in cancer treatments works in much the same way, except that it is given at higher doses.
How is radiation given?
Radiation therapy can be external beam (when a machine outside your body aims radiation at cancer cells) or internal (when radiation is put inside your body, in or near the cancer cells). Sometimes people get both forms of radiation therapy.
*** I receive external beam radiation so therefore much of the information given will be centered around that method.***

What does radiation do to cancer cells?
Given in high doses, radiation kills or slows the growth of cancer cells.

How long does radiation therapy take to work?
Radiation therapy does not kill cancer cells right away. It takes days or weeks of treatment before cancer cells start to die. Then, cancer cells keep dying for weeks or months after radiation therapy ends.

What does radiation therapy do to healthy cells?
Radiation not only kills or slows the growth of cancer cells, it can also affect nearby healthy cells. The healthy cells almost always recover after treatment is over. But sometimes people may have side effects that do not get better or are severe.

Does radiation therapy hurt?

No, radiation therapy does not hurt while it is being given. But the side effects that people may get from radiation therapy can cause pain or discomfort.
