So how is my year going? I wonder what God is up to.
I just finished a regular physical, the blood work sent me to Hematology Jan 1st, and was diagnosed with a Rare blood cancer, plus anemia. I was told they have no cure for it. The problem is in my bone marrow and has to do with my platelets, and my blood reproducing messed up cells and causes blood clotting. Research shows varied range of life expectancy with the diagnosis, (10-15 years). Various problems from of the conditions can lead to early death, and if it mutates life expectancy is lowered to 1-3 years.
With my conditions symptoms cause various pain and issues as it progresses. Overall the summary is - It damages and destroys the bone marrow eventually, and blood clots & heart attack are inevitable.
*No idea how I got this at all. Dr's also have no idea either. It's not genetic. Not much known. They're still researching on it to find out.
*Only 80k people in USA have this. It has been found globally.
* it can mutate to Leukemia.
*I've learned there is no transplant option avail for those with my diagnosis, even if it mutates to Leukemia. Even if there was, it wont cure the problem of this particular diagnosis/disease I have.
There are other problematic possibilities as it progresses; I have no idea how debilitating or how fast my health & quality of life will go downhill, during my remaining time on earth. Even if I dont have a blood clot causing a heart attack btwn now and a major cancer, sleeping thru the night, as well as living thru every hour & day feels like a blessing.
Though this is very sudden news, I know it's not the end because Jesus is my Savior. So, as one last thing I might be able to do, before I exit this life, I ask you to give real thought to something "for your own self", regardless what you think right now. Please go thru this briefly

We are not guaranteed tomorrow; but we can know for sure where our tomorrow will be. God has told us Today is the day for salvation. We Can live every day in a relationship with God in our life; starts now and lasts for eternity. (*No matter what you think is true or believe, you should make certain to Know what God has actually said to ensure you were not told wrong your whole life).
For those who are believers, please pray for me, as we know the prayers of His children is powerful.
