Radiation

After a consultation with the radiologist, she explained that I would need radiation every day, five days a week for about 6 weeks. After my first session of radiation I experienced severe back pain. It felt like a constant, excruciating sharp pain in the middle of my back. Thankfully, after about an hour the pain began to subside. However, over the course of the six weeks I experienced this pain often. It was difficult to walk, sleep and even sit. At one point, my day consisted of waking up, moving to the living room and sitting in the recliner for the rest of the day. I also could not sit in any chair besides the recliner. During this time I was also trying to juggle classes in my second semester, so that was really challenging. Throughout this process, I asked for prayers that my pain would subside. About 2 weeks after finishing radiation I went from taking pain pills every 3 hours to not using pain medication at all. PRAISE GOD! This was a miracle. The doctors could not explain why I was no longer in pain, and I think that the only explanation is the thousands of prayers that were lifted up during this time.
