Praising God

I posted on my blog about three months ago that I was undergoing radiation treatments for a recurrence of prostate cancer. I had thirty-six radiation treaments, which ended April 28. On May 28 I had an appointment with the radiation oncologist to have a PSA test which would determine the effectiveness of the radiation. The test showed the radiaton treatments are working effectively in killing out the cancer. Another PSA test will be taken in 90 days and the hope is it will show a continuation of the cancer going away.

I say Praise God! Anytime the doctor mentions the C word, it is scary! I have heard it twice in my life, the first time a little over five years ago and again at the beginning of this year. I am glad to report that both times it seems the doctors are going to be able to effectively treat the cancer and hopefully I will be cancer free.

I am praising and thanking God for the knowledge and ability He has given the doctors to know how to treat sickness and disease. I am also praising God for I know His hand has been applied in a healing!

The last portion of the book of Psalms is on praise. I close this post with verses from the very last Psalm, Psalm 150. "Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute, praise him with the clash of cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord."
