Hello Family;
It has been some time since I updated y'all so I wanted to keep you up to date on the blessing in my life. As most of you know the Lymphoma is in remission and from the latest scan a few weeks back that is still current. The last few rounds of Chemotherapy were pretty hard on my body, and it wiped out my white blood cells for a couple week. This gave me a great deal of time to reflect on all the goodness of God and that when life comes at us we have a choice. I will be honest that there were a couple of days where I would have welcomed a large BUS for relief.
Praise God that part is behind me. I also had the chance to spend some time with my Family and you all know how much my Mama loves to cook. Any weight that I lost during the E-coli infection was put back on with Mom's TLC. It was so great to see my family and spend some time with them. Being out in the middle of the COUNTRY with no cell phone and 4 Channels on the TV I was able to get some Much needed rest. You know being divinely guided is a great thing isn't it?
After my visit with my folks I had a follow up visit with my Lymphoma doctor which I mentioned earlier. He gave me the great news about being in remission from the Lymphoma. He also had some things we had to talk about. During the scan they found a lump on my kidney and one on my liver. The one on my Kidney is Renal Carcinoma. The best news is the treatment for this is to remove it. The lumps are small and can be removed however they will have to take extra tissue to make sure they get all of it. So I will be having surgery in late August for that. This will give me time to strengthen my body for that part of the journey. God is soooooo good.
Packing up and leaving the bay area was one of the hardest things I have done in a while, however the care I received in NC was amazing. Thank God for doctor Orlawski who found the lump on my kidney and liver and would not leave it alone. The doctor in CA had never mentioned it though it has shown up on all the scans I had in the past. The time in NC gave me a chance to do some soul searching and asking for divine guidance.
That guidance has lead me to Seattle, WA where I will be having the surgery at the Cancer Treatment Center. I have a awesome support system here as well, as I lived here in 98 before I moved to the bay area. My wonderful friend Richard has been so wonderful housing me, finding me a new place to live and taking care of me. I am one BLESSED MAN!!!
I will be seeing one of the best Cancer specialist in the country at the Cancer Treatment Center and they will work with the doctors to remove the Cancer in late August. This will add more time to my recovery time. I am just praising God that they found it and can remove it all in divine timing. Please keep me in your prayer and love as I know you always do. Here is my new address as of Monday July 9th.

Hello Family;
I wanted to take some time to share a couple of things with you. One of the many blessings in my life is that the lymphoma is still in remission and my new oncologist is a wonderful man. On my last scan in NC my oncologist there (also very wonderful) had the displeasure of telling me the lump on my kidney was still there. My doctors in CA had thought it to be part of the lymphoma. It was not. They have done more scans and this last week I had MRI's done for 5.5 hours.
Many of you know that I have CHOSEN to hate MRI's and the process. This last week was a true test of my faith and my choice in life. I had many prayers going up for me. I felt them all, thank you. One very wise and special friend reminded me that each click of the MRI was the love of God. Thank you for that Lisa. I was able to make a choice to see the MRI in another light. The first 2 hours I was feet first in the MRI chamber of LOVE. I was able to turn my head out and see these 2 wonderful trees. I had to hold my breath as they took scans and each time I did I would look at these trees and they would be swaying in the breeze. I felt peace in knowing that the breath of God was breathing life into them and into me at the same time.
The next day I had to go in Head first. This time for 2.5 hours. Once again I looked for my trees and was able to focus on the breath of God. I was able to feel Choice, up close and personal and know that there is NOTHING that I can not do with the help of God. I can Choose to see God in all things. From chemotherapy to MRI chambers of Love. It is all God, and all Good.
I received a call from my oncologist last night and the mass on my kidney looks like renal carcinoma which is a type of cancer. Everybody BREATHE!!! The good news is that it can be removed and that is the end of the cancer. I meet with the Urologist this week and with the oncologist on Monday. They are also going to be doing a 4 panel cat scan to look at a spot on my liver. I will be having surgery the end of August or the first of September to remove the growth. I will know more about what all this entails later this next week.
I have my new home in Seattle ready to go and if you need movers I have the best here in Seattle. Thanks to my support team here Richard, Chez and others. I have been able to get it all ready for this next step of the journey. I am choosing PEACE, LOVE, JOY, and WHOLENESS. God is so good.
Please know that I love you all and think of you all the time. I will keep you posted as I know more. I have one request please. When you think of me please CHOOSE to think of me in perfect HEALTH. For that is just where I am. Perfect WHOLE and complete.
With love and gratitude
Your brother and friend
Allen Mosley
