Thanks so much for leavi...Sally, Chris & Nick -<br />Thanks so much for leaving a note. Each one is a great encouragement. Sally, I hope that your own journey is bringing you daily gifts of mercy. Glad for coffee when you have time. Chris, thanks for taking me back to Ebenezer Baptist with you. It reminded me of my first visit there and somehow bumping into Coretta Scott King who gave me a warm welcome to Atlanta. I am looking forward to our work together this year and to the opportunities for friendship it will provide. Nick, your witness from down stream in the multiple myeloma river is a big boost to me today. Thanks for the wisdom to stay flexible and open to a variety of treatments. I am learning as I go. I hope that in some way my sharing here will be an encouragement to you. Keep the faith!<br />EdEd Searcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893196406561385183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512734048150861589.post-82973542733784239722012-02-29T14:48:16.881-08:002012-02-29T14:48:16.881-08:00Dear Pastor Ed, I too am fighting MM, and simultan...Dear Pastor Ed, I too am fighting MM, and simultaneously working on my relationship with God through Jesus Christ. I'm greatful for finding your site and look forward to any wisdom I can glean from it. As for the Rev/Dex treatments, I pray that your experience is a typical one in which the Rev is well tolerated and the dex does not mess with your system too much. I convinced my oncologist to drop the dex part of the treatment because of the negative side effects and successfully continued the Rev for a year longer. Keep in mind that treatment of this disease may be as flexible as the disease itself, so if something isn't working, be open to try other things. My 18 months of Rev worked quite well and I pray the same for you.

All this gets pretty stark eh? Pretty black and white. <br /><br />Even though you know you are being witnessed and held I figured it was worth leaving a little comment though, saying a little prayer. <br /><br />I was in a gathering with a bunch of Episcopalian priests this weekend in Atlanta. And I had your sermon last week firmly in mind yesterday as I took a little free time and walked down Auburn Street to Ebenezer Baptist Church and sat on the curb across the street and just bathed in the presence of that building. And although I could conjour up images of Dr. King and his mother, and meditate on the endless struggle for justice, it was actually you that I thought of for that whole half hour.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09515693806377843182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512734048150861589.post-62115943619132202412012-02-27T12:04:40.822-08:002012-02-27T12:04:40.822-08:00Blessing to you and your family Ed as you learn to...Blessing to you and your family Ed as you learn to float in this river.
