Just to update this thread M has finished the active part of her treatment, although the cumulative effects of the radiotherapy evidently continue internally for months after it is no longer being applied.
My wife sees her surgeon this coming Tuesday March 13th to have her final scans arranged, which should then lead up to her surgery being done in early April hopefully after Easter.
I received a private message from one of the other members enquiring about M's progress, which raised some interesting points about the healing power of prayer, which I would now like to pass onto you if I may.
I was asked if the member's energy meditations where he sent energy to my wife for her healing was producing visible improvements in her overall condition.
I answered that this was difficult to determine, as although there were very few visible signs on the surface that anything good was happening and she was still suffering from extreme chronic fatigue and other troublesome symptoms, it was clear that something significant was still going on deep inside her abdomen, where the tumour was located.
Many cases of spiritual healing are like that. The healing begins within, then progressively moves outwards before finally becoming visible to the untrained eye. And the problem is that even if we suspect that something significant is going on deep inside, we rarely have any idea as to whether or not these changes are positive ones.
I added that although it was not possible for me to tell my friend that his remote healing experiment was producing the hoped for results, we did not know how much worse she might have been if he had not tried to heal her from a distance.
I have been trained no indoctrinated in the so called scientific method, which always requires a control sample to compare the results of any therapy with before deciding whether it has worked.
In this situation a control sample would be if nobody else was at the same time sending their positive energies and healing prayers to my wife, which is obviously completely unrealistic as I have had an incredible and very emotionally satisfying response from people all over the planet to intercede on her behalf for her healing from the cancer. And the same prayers have provided her entire family with additional strength, comfort and support for the months which still lie ahead of all of us.
So the message of all this is that scientifically it is difficult to impossible to determine if or exactly how much your healing efforts are helping M in combination with her conventional medical treatment, in spite of this please do not stop sending her positive energy because it's therapeutic effects cannot currently be measured by early 21st century physical and electronic means.
The psychological and spiritual effects of knowing that there are hundreds or thousands of otherwise complete strangers from all over the planet all praying for my wife's speedy and complete recovery from her malignancy, is worth much more to us than numbers on a page telling us that she is being healed because the numbers tell us that this is so.
Thanks loads everyone,
