I still can’t figure out how I feel at the moment – I am so sad about what is happening to our family members. Nissa is scheduled for biopsy of her left throat on Thursday before they decide on any operation.
My brother does not want to be operated on. He’d rather adhere to alternative cure. I contacted Kaibigan sa Kalusugan this morning in their clinic in San Fernando, Pampanga, a three-hour ride by car from our place in the province. It is nearer than spending a six-hour ride to Manila. They said to bring all his laboratory results, ultrasound and CT scan. I hope it’ll be a better choice for him.
Fr. Lovell called me up early this morning and I was so grateful for the words of comfort, spiritual advices and words of wisdom. He told me to take things one at a time so my health won’t be compromised. I also had a long chat with a friend from our Catholic page. Talking about life, health and daily happenings in our lives, our own journeys, how we deal of those unexpected things that come and go. It was a lovely chat. As usual my unli call hours on my phone were well spent.
Ou Shih Poo Oreo has this habit of sitting on my lap while I am reading. I took shot of him this afternoon, a close-up one.
Look at his eyes. I love that pensive look. His expression is like that when you are talking to him or he wants your attention wagging his tail at the same time.
My shoutout today: Your prayers mean a lot to our family. Thank you very much.
don’t worry arlene…things will turn out fine…just trust in the good Lord above….

My best friend’s daughter went through a similar thyroid issue. Whatever the results, the prognosis is very good these days. My prayers continue.

Arlene – much prayer & love! My brother-in-law treated his prostrate cancer with alternative medicine (diet et all) & by God’s grace brought cancer #s down. I’ve gone thru thyroid biopsies for two lumps over the years, thanks be to God benign, but still have to check with specialist every year. Praying for Nissa! 🙏💞🙏🤗🙏💞🙏

Thanks Virginia. Your positive news about thyroid biopsies and treated cancer are so uplifting. I am praying Nissa’s biopsy would be okay too and that Alden could overcome everything without going through the knife.

Accordingly, cancer is not a disease, it is more of vitamin deficiency in our system, Doctors of alternative medicine do not recommend surgery.
