To all of my dear family and friends. I have a special request of you. For anyone who doesn't already have a purpose in mind to fast for this coming Sunday, would you please fast for me. I am having another CT Scan done this next Wednesday, March 7th. I would ask that you specifically fast for the cancer on my liver to either be gone or shrunk to a point where it is now operable. The last CT Scan that I had done in December, showed that the cancer on my liver had shrunk by over 40% since the beginning of my treatment and my cancer numbers continue to drop. When I was first diagnosed, my pancreatic cancer number was 49,000 and as of my last treatment in Illinois, I am now down to 72. I'm not sure what that means but my Doctors tell me that it's good and that the chemo is working. As soon as the cancer on my liver is gone, either through chemotherapy or through surgery, my Doctor said they will begin radiation on the tumor on my pancreas.

I am filled with gratitude to Lord for bringing me to The Cancer Treatment Centers of America. It is a hospital that is filled with hope, whose Doctors are prepared to see miracles. Their philosophy is to treat the person, where other hospitals treat only the cancer. I've been told through a priesthood blessing that I would defeat this cancer and I know with every fiber of my being that I will. I simply had to go to a hospital that had Doctors who believed in miracles as well. You know what they say, Science only goes so far, then comes God. I've always known that my fate is in our Heavenly Father's hands and I willingly accept His will for me. But it has been made known to me through Priesthood Blessings and through the Spirit that it is His will that I live. Thank you for being His loving hands to help me through this process. Thank you for your continued faith and prayers. I love you all so much, there really aren't appropriate words to express it. I know I couldn't do this without you!!!!!! All my love, Julie

  1. Julie! Thank you so much for starting this blog. Your journey will be helping all of us...as you share your experiences and your strength and faith. I know about pancreatic cancer because my sister had it. My husband John has had leukemia and went into remission and then got it again. This second time he is not actually technically in remission, but it is under control for the time being. Our mortal lives here are, in reality, so fragile. Knowing the plan of salvation sure helps!!! Keep smiling that beautiful smile of yours and know your friends are pulling for you!
