Diary of Love, Faith, Hope, and Victory!

Jesus, King of Mercy I trust in you! Dearest Sol, thank you for being grateful at all times for how far you've come, and not just how far you have to go. You may not be where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be. It can be easy to get caught up in how far you have to go. Don't forget to look back, and recognize how far you have come. Every day brings you one step closer. God will make a way for you. I love you, Sol One step closer. God will make a way for you. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and twice as beautiful as you'd ever imagined. Jesus, please take care of me and let me recover smoothly. Amen   Holy Mary Mother of God, I turn to you for protection please hear and pray with me in my prayers and help me in my speedy recovery, and needs and save me from every danger. Amen It's my 35th Chemo treatment! Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginni...

To God be the glory! My 34th Chemotherapy, course 5 was finished gently. Jesus, bless all my veins and let all my medicines run effectively and smoothly all over my body. God bless Me, Tony, Maryann, Doc Ignacio, and the Nurses who never get tired and was always with me during my treatment. Grant me my fastest body recovery and be well gently. In Jesus' name. Amen

It's the 1st Thursday of the year 2022, its another wonderful morning to smell the freshness of the morning breeze from our bedroom window after my morning offering. Adding small rounded white quail eggs for our sopas breakfast. Today, I think of Quail eggs and Macaroni soup for breakfast. During the chemotherapy period, many side effects could affect our immune system so we need to add extra nutritional food to our meal. I choose my favorite food to consider my appetite and keep my cute round shape para naman di na makadagdag pa sa isipin ni Doc ang aking pangangatawan, besides mainam naman and mabilog shape rin naman yon diba. Hahaha!  Thank you, for the best Morning every day to receive great health and life. Let's enjoy every minute thinking of positive moments with everything we love to think and do, and less for the not so lovely memories. Adding small round white for my food. Today, naisip ko naman ang quail eggs for our sopas breakfast.  Quail eggs are an excellent sou...

2 month-old Ganryu, my fur healer puppy. Was born on my 1st Chemo Cycle January 2, 2020 Ang pagkakaroon ng kanser ay isa sa mga pinakamabigat na karanasan na maaaring mapagdaanan ng isang tao sa kanyang buhay. Ang pagkabalisa at pag-aalala ay nagsisimula na kahit sa paghihinala pa lamang ng pagkakaroon ng kanser. Ito ay nagiging mas mabigat habang pinagdaraanan ng pasyente ang proseso ng diagnosis at pagpapagamot. Ang pasaning ito ay hindi lamang nakakaapekto sa pasyente kundi pati na rin sa kanyang pamilya at mga kaibigan. Para makapagpakita ng suporta sa isang pasyenteng may kanser, anu-ano ang mga bagay na maaaring gawin ng isang taong nagmamalasakit? 1. Ihanda ang sarili para mapagtuunan ng pansin ang pasyente. Tantsahin ang mga sariling emosyon bago humarap sa pasyente. 2. Magkaroon ng kaalaman tungkol sa sakit ng pasyente at intindihin ang pananaw ng pasyente tungkol dito. 3. Maghanda para sa mga pagbabagong maaaring mangyari sa pasyente tulad ng pangangayayat o p...

Jesus King of Mercy I trust in you! Face your fear so the shadow will go behind. It's easy to get afraid but my Lord, Jesus Christ put courage and hope in my heart. He is fighting for me and he is always with me. (Exodus 14:14) November 30, 2021 1st CT Scan comparison to my previous CT Scan October 2021, after 3 months of my IMRT completion. My Liver CT Scan is for my every after 4th Avastin 400mg IV infusion monitoring development and for my next chemotherapy cycle 29th treatment. YouTube Video Thank you so much, father God for the smooth and happy CT Scan procedure today. I may not understand all your messages for me, but I always felt your healing manifestation in my heart. Today I experience something very new. I felt the coldness of the IV Contrast while it's running inside my veins. At first, I thought it was leaking and when the Radiologist check it it's not and I check it too he is right. Whatever it is, it's not the normal way. I remember it was supposed to be ...

To God be all the glory! Yehey! Madami na ulit hair ko, though bungi-bungi pa kilay ko ayus na rin. If ever, balding returns I think I can handle it more bravely. Wink! My husband noticed that my hair is increasing in volume and he never forget to touch my hair and remind me that it is a sign of life. Behind his back, I always felt my tears down on my cheeks just knowing that I am really gaining back my hair. It's like a baby in my mother's womb that waiting for the exact number of days to complete me and be born.  I just realize that I love short hair on me. My new baby hair or Virgin hair turns soft, wavy, and silky. This gives me a little fun to consider my new look, seems I want to try new looks as my hair gets longer and makes it feel more fun rather than pain (though it definitely can be). I tried to treat each length as to if I had a new haircut and was learning to restyle it. But I love it this short for many practical reasons like it's easy maintenance and I feel ...

It was one morning when we're supposedly going to a certain place, but things change for us, Mama Mary guide us to see her Miraculous place in an unknown place where we only see signs along the way and we just follow. It was a long and winding road to start with but if you are courageous enough you will trust your instinct and you will be thankful that God shows you the place which is not for everyone to see. Along with this journey, my thoughts are to be with my sisters. I don't know how much time I still have so I just come with them into my mind Cancer is just a chapter in my life and not the whole story so I must make the most of my journey thrusting God and Mama Mary's way for me. Finally, we arrived at the place. Peaceful, walang katao tao. Pero meron pala. So you need to go down stairs, mahaba and hagdan pababa and along the way makikita mo and simple story through images. Holy Family and unang bubungad, then ang Our Lady of Lourdes, then may makikita kang isang mali...

Today, I had another pleasant morning to have the sunshine going inside our Master's bedroom. Recently it's not always sunny, most of the time it's a gloomy day with rain shower the whole day. Thank you, Vitamin D for making my skin red again. Vitamin D is free, why not take a lot of it and be thankful to God, how wonderful to receive his freebies every day.  God's message for me today: Isiah 30: 18-19 Thank you, Kim and Ganryu for always having me in our morning ritual. Kim is my buddy while having a Vitamin D ritual. "Lusog -lusog ng mga dede nya, punong puno ng milk." How wonderful to have my Ganryu for a year. "Naka one year old ka na bunso, naka one year na tayo kasama pa rin kita mag pa araw sa umaga. Salamat bunso." My Defender! Ate Lilia, gave me this plant long time ago. It's has a good sign for me. Sabi ni Tony, yesterday close pa ito, the whole night namukadkad siya, mabango at kakaiba, anong name kaya niya? Let me share my little stor...

Be strong, courageous Sol, I understand, preparing for the unknown is not easy. Give me the strength to accept the things I cannot change. The Serenity Prayer God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time. Enjoying one moment at a time. Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace. Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will. So that I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with Him Forever and ever in the next. Amen. Salamat sa guidance Lord. Stage 4 cancer is the most severe form of cancer. Metastatic cancer is another name for stage 4 cancer because the disease has usually spread far in the body, or metastasized. Stage 4 cancer is the severest form of cancer. It has the highest risk of mortality. However, stage 4 cancer is not always terminal. God bless me, my husband, my son, my doctor, nurses, and all the people who gave me t...

Without fear, we can’t have courage. We cannot act courageously in any situation unless we have something to protect, something to honor, something to prove, or something to commit to. There are two motivating forces to have courage, fear, and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves, in all our glory and imperfections. If you're having a hard time seeing your way out of a situation, try modeling your behavior after someone else who's faced adversity. Uncertainty is the source of many fears. However, you can learn to tolerate uncertainty by gradually working it into your daily experience. This will increase your confidence and ability to handle uncertain situations, which will allow you to act with bravery. You’ll always be able to think of more reasons not to take a chance than reasons to go for it, and there’s a reason for that. We a...

I saw the sun shining so brightly this morning. It made me remember my siblings and how blessed I am that God has given them to me. Let me thank my family with these simple clips for taking care of me ever since I was born and for all kinds of support they are extending to me and my husband Tony now in my roller coaster journey. Thank you for my father, for enduring every hard day to be able to provide for us and never complains. Even on his weak days, he remains strong and hard working to provide us with a good life here on earth. On September 1, 1982, he went to heaven.  Thank you for my mother who loves us unconditionally just like Mary loved Jesus. She provided us with breakfast food on the table which was very delicious. When my father died, she continues teaching piano to support me and my youngest brother. On April 22, 2001, she went home to heaven.  Thank you for the gift of siblings, Lord. Life would be so dull without them. They are my first best f...

From the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much, Tita Mommy Ching, for all the genuine love, assistance, help you have for me, Tony, my family, and to my Ate Malou. Listening in the silence of our hearts is where God is leading us in the right direction. (Souvenir Picture was taken June 2019) Many lessons and all are learned well. In the process, I owe you big-time Ate Malou, Tita Mommy Ching, and to your son Doctor Alvin Jimenez, Surgeon Doctor Hernando Amisola, Oncology Doctor Jorge Ignacio whom God entrusted me for my 2nd life. Thank you seems not always enough, but to be here now is more than a joy of being grateful 1st to God for giving me you, leading me to your son, to my surgeon, and to my Oncologist. It's true that everything happens for a reason. People who are with us are all from God and that is the best choice of God for me and my family. It's been a year, and as I look back to those days I saw the love of God using those special people who stand by my side u...
