Chemo and God

I was feeling a little edgy about my first chemo treatment but didn’t know why. The good Lord got me through it twenty years ago without nausea. Seems the word “chemo” has a bad reputation.

I began the chemo-day quoting my scripture of strength.

Philippians 4:13  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

“First, I’ll give you some medicines,” said the nice nurse.

“Is one of them for nausea?”  “Yes,” she said as I smiled.

As meds---then chemo---dripped from a bag into the port, I thanked God for nausea medicine, worked on my blog for the day, and felt the prayers of many.

A few hours later I came home feeling much better than I thought I would, all the while thanking the Lord for never leaving my side. God is Good.
