I mentioned that I had received the face of Christ from a friend in the chapel one rainy night and that my friend was told by the Holy Spirit thay he would get it back when I was healed. As an update to that event. About 4 months ago, I saw F by chance at the church hugged him and said, F God said that when I was healed you would get this back. He looked directly into my eyes and his eyes filled up and I said that this is that time. He wants you to have it back and I took it off, kissed it and  passed it to him he then placed it over his head and kissed it. And we embraced. I am cancer free from the brain cancer and will be going for a scan In a few weeks again to keep at eye on it. But God has got his almighty hands on both you and I all of the time regardless of whatever comes to pass in our lives Soooo

Worry Not ! 🙂

I was down at my church around a year and half ago for a healing service, I stood and prayed with the healing ministers for the sick that were coming in. I at this time was useing a walker. And I remember trying to stand and lean towards the person being prayed over, I wanted the physical contact of my hand to touch that persons shoulder. It was an effort but, God will give you what you need every moment. Well, while I was standing there praying a women walked beside me and stood to the right. I did not focus on who she was. Well, we finished the prayers over the beautiful person who was sitting and being prayed over. So, I looked again at this women to the right of me and she looked stunned and said Danny? I said yes, and then  I said, Oh my God, J. how are you I had not seen her in at least 14 years, she had moved to another town.

She looked at me standing with my walker and said what happened my response was a little cancer. Gods got everything , including my fear 🙂

She looked so distressed , I gave her a hug and asked her what was wrong, she said it is really weird but, I feel like  I can talk to you. You see , she was in that church that night for a reason as was I. Our personal psalm #139 put us there by God’s design. An intersection in life.

She said that she had been in her church on Ash Wednesday and God spoke directly to her that she would be given the gift of healing through Jesus and would see peoples desease’s. She looked so scared, my reaction was, I know its God my Spirit was resonating inside telling me of the truth. She said that as part of this calling was to create plaster art work and they are given to people that God had intended them for with scripture passages attached. Many were people that she did not know.

She also has 5 or 6 kids and they were so frightened as to what she was suddenly compelled to do. You see, she had never done art work before and was suddenly a master at it. I told her I understood because of how God was useing me as well. He uses all of us by the way 🙂 So, I think that she had a lot of peace before she left the church that evening.

So any way’s 🙂 , fast forward maybe 3 weeks or so from that night, my front door bell rang at like 6:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning and I could not get up and move that quicky, my wife was laying there half in a coma from all of her hours of work. We heard a vehicle pull away. About 45 minutes later the phone rang and we did not recognize the number so I did not answer. I fell asleep and when I awoke I took the phone and saw that there was a message. I listened to it and I found that it was J, the women from the church.

One thing that I need to say to set up this miracle was this, I did not sleep well that night a lot of Spiritual warfare was taking place and I began to pray to God and was complaining about my  life.  I was bellying acheing about everything!, a good old fashioned pitty party. That was around 3:00 am and at 4 am I began to do my Holy Rosary and I believe that it has saved my life! It calms me and puts me into union with heaven. Amen.

 

Okay, back to J. I called her and when she answered she apologized for coming by so early and calling, She said she had to. I understand that. When God compells you to do something, it must be done!

She told me that she had been woken up by God  at 4:00 am and was told that she needed to get a plaster peice that she made to me right away. She left it between the storm door and was afraid that it might get broken. It was funny when my wife found out that J had called my wife said as I was dialing J back on the phone, maybe she made an art peice for you. I said nahhh. Well, she had.It is beautiful.

My wife ran down to get it before something happened to it, it had a card with it .

When I pulled it out of the bag it was the face of Christ just beautiful! She did not know about F and the medallion ( Face of Christ ) that I had been given in the chapel nor did she know about my vision where I saw the shroud of Turin either.( Jesus face)

Here is the scripture that God gave her for me in that very moment that went with the face of Christ sculpture.

Galatians 2:20King James Version (KJV)

20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

 

Now If that is not God, then what is???????????

The bottom line :

While I struggled with sorrow ,brain cancer and body failure and was thinking about my plight and that of my family the devil was toying with me all night. I retreated to a safe harbor Jesus Christ at 3 am and began to beseech of him what I needed and by 4 a.m. feeling still a little oppressed I called on My Blessed Mother as well. God heard my silent prayer and pleas and answered me immediately. My Blessed mother aided in that as well. I feel her presence and from time to time smell her roses too. Amen. 🙂 I called out to the Lord and J was sent to respond. Thank God, J listened to God’s call. God bless Her !

 

Isn’t life beautiful, my son showed me this. 

God’s gift.

 

The Face Of Christ, The Shroud Of Turin.

 

God Bless You, Danny

Hi I just received this and thought I would put  it up on my blog.  It is a short beauiful prayer

Chemo Day;

Some will say you will pray because it is a nice thing to say or it is politically correct. Then there are those of you who will really do it. I’m sending this to some who will. This prayer means so much so please say the prayer for everyone and pass it on. Cancer is a strange cell. If you ever have it, you will never be free of it. If you never had it, don’t feel too cozy, you can get it. Pray for the day there will be a permanent cure. A SMALL REQUEST… Please see prayer below the picture.



93% won’t forward, but I’m Sure You Will.

A small request…..just one line

 

Dear God,
I pray that You will guide someone to find a cure
for cancer in 2014 …..
Amen


All you are asked to do is keep this circulating, even if it’s only to one more person. In memory of anyone you know who has been struck down by cancer or is still living with it.
A Candle Loses Nothing by Lighting Another Candle.

Please Keep This Candle Going

My Second Vision/Dream Jesus.

Hello, today I wanted to present to you my second vision/ Vivid Dream that I had back over two years ago. I will draw the canvas through the Holy Spirit and tell you in exact detail what I told Father right after this blessed event took place back over two years ago.

Okay, here we go…..

Back to the day in May 2012, I had been diagnosed with the inoperable brain cancer. I was feeling so tired I honestly did not really care if I passed away or not. I know it sounds strange.  Obviously, I want to live as long as possible to be present for my wife, kids, dad and family. But I was feeling a fatigue that I could never fully describe. Also, God put me into such a peaceful state that I was not and am not worrying about it.

Well, that day I was sitting down in my family room and just wanted to go upstairs. My bedroom is a place of real serenity,(truely a prayer room) It has skylights, a door out and large window that  look out into my rear yard. I have a massive Beech tree with a 12 foot trunk. It has a massive canopie of leaves. God’s masterpiece. In my prayer/ bedroom I can see God and connect with him through his stars at night just by looking up through the glass in the sky lights. At  night, The beech tree is constantly moving in the air and looks so majestic. If you have seen the picture Jesus Wept, I can envision him in that moment and can relate to his agony to a certain degree, I could never have done what the Lord had done for us all. That, I do know.

I told one of my kids, I need to go up and lie down and made my way upstairs with one of my kids. I was fully dressed and layed on the bed. I was on my side looking out the window it was a windy day and the tree branches were swaying. I was praying and said, God, I am so tired. How can I take care of my family? I was not crying I was just asking. I was too exhausted for emotion. I drifted off to sleep and the next thing that happened was this. It is a message for all of us! He loves us all so much 🙂

 

I was suddenly laying in a small boat, It did not have a sail. I was laying on my left side in the center of this small boat and I could hear water lapping off the side of the boat. I was again laying on my side so my right eye was able to see over the top edge of the boat and off into the distance. I heard in my head the word, Galilee. It was a male voice and was deep, soothing, and a little dragged out.  I felt such exhaustion yet so peaceful laying there and was just listening to the lapping water, again, so peaceful. I saw on the distant shore a stone ruins coming up and it had green vines climbing it. I could see off white and white stone the slabs that the wall had been made from. I then noticed trees above the stone ruins. along the ridge. The trees were unlike anything that I had ever seen. My eyes now looked above and notices a pretty blue-ish sky with little birds flying around. It looked like a sky we would see here.

I could not move due to the fact that I was so weak, I remember so vividly that I decided to try and look in front of me all the while I was thinking, what am I going to do to help my family?  Again, it was not desperation, just quiet surrender I guess. I managed to turn my neck upward a bit and caught the view of two legs and feet in sandels, The man was sitting sideways but looking ahead of the boat. So, I worked very hard to turn my neck further yet to see more. I saw that this man was wearing a robe and it was very heavy looking, heavy texture with beige, white and gray looking fibers like from a lambs coat. I just remember straining my neck forward further and I saw that the man was looking forward away from me. His hood was on.  He had dark hair, with a reddish color to it ( maybe the sun  effect ?) and it was blowing back in the breeze. He then turned his head to the right showing me the profile of his rugged tanned face.

I then got this message in the silence of my mind yet they were words again, a gentle authoratative male voice.   Do not worry, God created you, He knows the ending.  I felt such peace I remember that I put my head down and was resting my neck. We just drifted along in this boat and it was so beautiful, once again I decided I need to look again so I turned my neck once again passed the tanned medeterranean feet and legs up the coat to the gentleman again he was still looking to the right and then he turned directly to me and smiled. It was Jesus Christ ! As, I sit here The Holy Spirit is leaping inside me .

When Jesus Christ looked at me as I said to Fr. so long ago, His smile was the most beautiful smile, his skin was that of a fisherman from all the sun, his beard and hair where different colors dark black with red tone mixed in.  When he smiles his peircing blue eye’s exploded this feeling of love in to me that I will never be able to ever accurately depict. Just know one thing, this is awaiting all of us when we met our Lord 🙂

I  awoke when my wife came in to the bedroom to let me know that she had soup for me to eat. I told my wife and the next person I spoke to was Fr. R. I made my way down to the rectory shorty after this miraculous  event for confession and to speak with Father. I sat on the chair and said to Father, I want to tell you about a Dream/ Vision that I had and as I began to recount the experience that is detailed  above, God filled that room and our Spirits with so much joy that I exploded from the love and was crying so deeply! I could not sit up straight. When I looked up Father was crying a bit too and said, Danny this a very special and rare gift that God has given you.

You see, I am, at my heart a very square conventional person, if you know what I mean. Anything extraordinary that I achieve is through the Holy Spirit.

Getting myself to understand that God would use me to write for his church, write for his people would not be something that I could easily accept. I was not worthy.

Father said, God is confirming that you are doing all they he wants. It was a gift !

I will say this,

Thank you God for telling me otherwise, I really think that I would have perrished from the thought of being disraspectlful to my God and My Lord  Amen.

Thank you God for loving us so much. And anyone that might read this,  just trust and know that if you are doing good that you feel God is compelling you to. Just pray and do it in the glory of God and he will know !! He will bless you for it as well.

In Gods Love,

Danny

I came across this video just now, led by the Spirit. This young prodegy has done a painting it is the closest to what I can describe Christ as looking like from my vision.

When you go to the link below watch and it is about 1:41 on the link you will see her painting of Christ.

I would like to attempt on this blog today to bring up a point. I don’t know all , and do not think for a moment that I do. I got a call late morning from my Friend  P ,the deacon from .N.Y this was on Tuesday morning. He said that he was inflight arriving in Boston on business and wanted to visit for an hour or so. He arrived and we went to a local diner for lunch. God was up to something once again.  We had lunch  and during that time I discussed this blog with him. I explained to him that It was in fact work and due  to all my prayer the Spirit is spilling out so much so quickly. Only God knows why.

I will tell you what God had up his sleeve(  in one moment ), it was very funny. God’s having a lot of fun with me lately. LOL

But first let me get back on point. I have been reminded so many times during prayer that we are all one, under God. Many Churches, many Faiths. I am not a theologian. I just know to me, that  we are one through Christ Jesus.

I have heard remarks over the many years that I have lived that some people are not believers or of the same practicing religion etc. My feeling is, that’s okay. That is their personal opinion. Perhaps God has not broken through to them as of yet so they too can believe. We can all be stubborn during our lifes journey. It is easier to go with the flow than to follow Christ. We live without conscience on so many levels. We live unconvicted so we do what ever we want to do and it is great. But, it is not. It is not for us to judge others either. We need to just live a life that they will see something in us and wonder , What is it  that He or She has ? You want them to see in you what might heal their lives.( God) Remember, with every person we help only God knows how many more people that they may help.

None of us is holier that thou! ( found this on the web)

Holier-than-thou
When a person has taken the moral high-ground or are just up themselves, they are being “Holier-than-thou”. Holier-than-thou literally means, holier than me or better than me.
Just because I made one stupid mistake doesnt mean Britney gets to give me this holier-than-thou attitude!
by Dani October 28, 2005
 
There are many reasons why there are so many churches, and my explanation of why would not be substantial enough or 100 % correct.
 
I will say this though, the church that God built, his church,  was upon his Apostle Peter.The first Pope. The church was filled with people just like us. When you have lots of people in any group religious and otherwise, there will  differences of opinions, in fighting, different interpretations of the bible etc. Feelings get hurt , ego’s get hurt  and in this case the church fragmented and new churches came to be. The orginal church, my church has continued to Spread the Gospel. And help so many. All these churches are following the leader Christ/ God. But we as Christians are  acting like they are on opposing teams. It is very silly.
 
For me, I am faithful to my God and love my church, that is how I was raised and rediscovered for myself later on personally my love of the Catholic Church and its sacraments. I then shared that joy with my family and anyone that I possibly could. I do not care if some one is from a different faith or walk. We do not need to hip check other Christians or anyone else for that matter into the boards. It’s not a game, it’s life.
 
I spoke at great length recently to a friend  who has had very deverse thoughts on all faiths and I thought it was refreshing.
 
Our conversation stemmed out of conversations based in the news. Persecutions of Christians, not being allowed to live their faith. They need to convert their faith to another, pay a fee or be murdered. Sometimes both anyway.
 
Everyone, has their God given right, to be who they were born to be and  to seek and find their God through what ever faith gets them there. In my personal belief due to my upbring, that it is through Jesus Christ that is how we get to our Father, God.
 
I can see the writing on the wall here as well  in this country. God is being pulled from the culture and the bedrock is shifting. .We better stick together as Christians because if we don’t, before long we may be facing the same fate as other Christians world wide..   Remember, we are part of a flock not part of a gang. Evil is on the prowl. And the sheep of the flock are running around not paying attention.
 
 
So, in conclusion,  My friend P took me to my schedules PT appt after lunch. He walked in with me into the office. I wanted to introduce him to my PT staff. He is in the medical field also. I  told P you may see V here today too, he is a deacon also 🙂
 
We walked in and he met everyone, and P saw V they knew eachother and immediately engaged in conversation. They were exchanging information about others and ministry stuff.
Meanwhile, I stood at the glass window of reception and my pt therapist was like hi and smiled you do not have an appointment today and laughed. I stood there and knew God wanted these two men P and V to meet today, that is part of why he came from NY to my PT appt, only God could do this. Paul had business but God added my pt visit to his agenda. God wanted P and V to meet for his reason.:)
 
I came right home grabbed my calander and realized that I was looking at next Tuesdays date by accident. God is awesome. it was a great day.
 
God Bless You All !
 
Danny
 
Video below :
 
I really like Joyce  a lot, I spent alot of time trying to find God early on in my life, I saw her years ago then moved on. I told Father I think that  she is really good. When I became ill with Glio Blastoma , I was stuck here in my chair for along time. I rediscovered Joyce again and she really helped me to make it through this life situation  too. I love who she is and what she does. It is God.
 
Joyce Meyers, God’s Love
 
Please watch ! She even mentions psalm #139, no coincidence. God’s talking. Amen!

In The Beginning of true Spiritual awakening of all of us is a long time in the making. We experience different levels of awareness in God, his existence and supreme gift to us all and I m not talking about life 🙂 That is a Miracle in itself.  I am referring to the gift of The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit as far as I am concerned is our bridge to the Almighty, he facilitates all that is good, he inspires us, he warns us,he allows God to fill us with joy and allows our conscience to feel guilt for a wrong doing.The Holy Spirit will help to bring us to our knees for repentence before our Lord. The Holy  Spirit that dwells within every one of us is God given and works in concert with our desires, needs and to allow us to fulfill our destiny for God and his people. We need to allow The Holy Spirit to work with us. We need to pray for his assistance in a meaningful way. I mentioned this in one of my recent blog writing that I began praying and commiting myself to God and the holy Spirit with my daily shower and telling all of Heaven that the water was my rededication and reminder of my baptismal water. I say daily to God that I surrender myself to whatever he wants from me and tell the Holy Spirit to please use me to the best of my ability. Lastly, I call on all of Heaven through my prayers for all of the Angels and Saints to please bestow on me any gifts of the Spirit that I may need in the future. Heaven is for real.:) This is a very special time that we are living in, a time like no other. It is a time of Miracles, it is a time of God’s pouring out of The Holy Spirit and Spiritural gifts for eachone of us. We all have our very own special gifts. Some we are born with some we acquire from God in the moment of his choosing. Our gifts can bend and change over a period of time based on what God wants and needs us to accomplish. The one prerequsite that God has for each of us to open our hearts and desire to be an agent of good to be the light to oneanother. It is simple. Through my childhood, adolescence and even into my 30’s I was always searching for my true God and his existence. I could feel him to a certain degree but the picture was still far from focus. During that time for me the 90’s.  Life had a lot of moments of hurts from people you know, daily nonsence. Its hard to see God when you are surrounded by others who are not necessarily in Christ or God based. You are wandering around in a crowd of lost sheep many of which have no idea that they are even lost. I am not judging but  it is indeed a fact.   Well in the latter part of my 30’s I managed to bring my picture into a little more clarity with prayer and the assistance of others through a beautiful retreat know as Cursillo in a retreat house know as St. Basil’s in Methuen, Ma. that was I believe in Oct 1999. My wife went in November of the same year. It was life changing, the focus and picture was now crystal clear! It was an intersection where God made himself and his presence known. It is a Miracle, just as St. Basils is. You should call and look into this retreat house. It will be the best gift that you can give yourself ! So, I came back from that retreat and one of my friends called me the next day and  said, hey Dan, I saw you walking on the water of the lake today 🙂  It was so funny,he knew that I was on Fire .lol Each day that we live sets the stage for the next day and action. So all of the many little or big moments of my daily journey that come out onto this blog journal are always building for a bigger God moment. They are all God moments because he is there with us getting us through. All of our Spiritual Gifts are to be shared. It is not about us. This blog tells my journey through God. It his victory over death (my) and yours. God wants my life psalm #139 shared so that all will see him, and draw closer to our Heavenly Father.    4- 5 years ago, I am not sure of the date, I was called out of the blue into some of the most intense Spiritual experiences that I could ever have imagined. I was blown out of the water, I will just refer to them as writing for my church. The details of those writings were not for us , they are for the church. I will say this anyone with a sense of Spiritural awareness just needs to look at the news or turn on the television to see what is going on. The world is out of balance. This process was stretching myself and family to the max. The Holy Spirit is just so awesome. My spiritual adviser said to me , Dan, lets just see where it goes, and we did. I will explain about this experience at a later date.   My first vision, vivid dream, about 4-5 years ago during the time I was doing the  church writings. I was asleep and had the most vivid dream. God uses our own lifes experiences and will make them part of his message in my case it was based in my lifes work and I have been for over 30 years through the gift of the  Holy Spirit an interior Designer. I have done projects that when I had completed them looked at them and said, God, I did that! I did through God and love alone complete my projects .More on that later too!:) So, I was sleeping and my vision which seemed like forever started. I am giving my account  to you exactly as It happened and was told to my priest, my adviser and friend long ago… This remember was more that 3 years before my cancer diagnosis. I walked up to the door of this house and rang the bell. I had decorating samples in my hand. A women came to the door and opened it, I just remember how pleasant she was, I could hear children laughing and she said, excuse me for a moment and walked away off to the left in the direction of the children. I did not see them but heard them laughing.  So, I stood there and it seemed like a while, I being the type A personality and loving what I did. I said to myself, I will just walk in to the right here and see what she needs. So the interior was very itherial everything was a very soothing white color. It was extremely peaceful. I just kept walking and ahead of me was a hallway with a very bright light people were coming out of the light and passing me again all faces were non descript, everything was very etherial and white. I noticed that there was something on the wall that everyone that came out of the hall seemed to be stopping to look at so, I wandered over to it and looked and was a very pale colored picture I recognized it immediately. It was the shroud of Turin. I have to say this too, I had never given  1 seconds thought to the shroud in my life yet here it was . Well any way I could hear voices from down the end of the long extremely bright hallway and hear a booming voice and laughter it was pure joy. When I got to the entrance I realized, I shouldn’t be here, I had wondered from where I was left to wait. I would never wander around my clients home. So, I returned to where I was waiting by the door. I was getting annoyed and it was like 4 hours. Well, the really pleasant women was back and said she was sorry for the delay and she opened the door to the left of me. The children were quiet now  and she guided me into the room. I stood there and there was a very large white table in front of me. As I stood there the women was standing to the left side of the table looking at me and there was another figure to the right side of the table looking at me  as well. The women looked at me and, I felt love like I had never felt before. She said again sorry for the wait, I remember having been so angry to had to wait 4 hours for her to return and , I just responded its okay and she said to me you are an angel. Of course, I told Father I am certainly not, I am a sinner like everyone. I remember feeling intense love. I knew that it was my Blessed Mother. She without  a word uttered pointed down to the table and moved her hand over the surface as if  she wiped the table and the white milky color left and it now had a clear glass. It was a case.  I could see all kinds of relics, bottles of oils, and religous statues related to my faith and she spoke these words to me, We want you to have many Spiritual gifts. And that was it. I woke up and is as alive today and vivid as the time that it occured.   I have had years to think of why The Blessed Mother would call me an angel, because I am not. So I have a couple of thoughts on that. 1.) She knowing that I was upset with waiting for her which my Blessed Mother would know and yet I told her no problem thought that I was kind? 2.) Everything that I have done in writing including this blog through the Holy Spirit is never about me or any one of us . We are all loved the same. And what mother does not look upon her child at least as  an angel in training?  🙂 Thats the best I can do on that thought last but not least the booming laughter and joy was,  I know, was Our God!  I was given a glimpse of Heaven. I pray everyday to continue to grow for his purpose and into his will completely . Amen.

Hi this post is for those who are particularly young and are following my daily post. I posted todays blog, God of wonders. I then sat back in my reclined and listened and watched it once again. I wanted to be in the moment with what I had just posted. I had very deep thoughts while listening and when the video was over got up and let my dogs Jessica and jerrimiah out. I walked outside on my deck and stood there for a few minutes taking in the sights, sounds and the beauty of the day. And up cropped a sorrow in my heart , I thought of all the young kids that are searching for God, the truth and what it means to you. Just remember its okay and God meets us all where we are at and their is not one  life problem that is too big  that God to handle. He is with you alway’s.

I just wanted to say that I know what is going on out there with the culture, tv,news, what it is being  tought and how hard it is for you all to see and absorb.. I know parents who’s children want to go to church and the parents are aware and tell me  they are lost in their day and it does not happen. What I will say to you young ones is number one , I am not a priest, I am not a deacon, I am a human being just like you , and you count! I have 4 kids, and their friends are like my kids too. I have a very noisy house LOL. I will try and select things that may help you make your way to your faith. Remember, you guys as children  may be able to open your parents up to the concept of their faith as well. Thats why God created families to love and take care of oneanother. Parents are so busy, working tending to your needs, bills, shopping, sports etc. Sometimes we as parents me included have difficulty carving out time for church and for themselves. So, maybe you can share this blog so they can too see my blog too. It is always important to share internet stuff with your parents.:)

Thats it, God Bless You,

Danny

 

This is especially for you guy’s

That day of my ekg, lunch etc, Just as Dr. R had said his head nurse S, showerd up with pills at my next scheduled squeezed in appointment. She was around every corner. She is spectacular. I never had 1 concern, all day. I met with I believe my new  radiologist oncologist at Brigham and womens. Dr A , I called him the great!  He is  a young, compitent , kind and awesome doctor  with another superb team of of assistants. from his head nurse S and her assistant , R they treated every patient the same, amazingly.

I would be remis if I did not mention the lovely social worker. N who has been there since day 1 for us. Very Sweet and soft spoken but always professional and helpful.

I had to go in after my consult for either a scan or an MRI , I cannot remember which but they needed to map my brain so they could target the best way to eradicate the tumor with radiation.

The radiology staff  there where great. They have a lot to deal with daily and are responsible for making sure that every patient was comfortable and that their bodies were positioned just perfectly so that the equipment could target the desired location with radiation therapy and nothing more.  They try to only hit the target and not to kill any more healty cells. Quite a responsibility.

Next I went in and My Dr. A had a plaster mold mask made of my  face and head, a mold I guess you could call it. It was made of a plaster.Once the Drs decided the attack plan they mapped and programmed my treatment into their computers. I was ready to begin my radiation therapy on the tumor that I never accepted as mine thanks to Gods word. I had six weeks of radiations 5 days a week monday to friday.

I had it easy in my eye’s compared to my wife and family who took the brunt of the wear and tear, juggling schedules, work etc. Some driving miles to pick me up only to turn around and take me back in the other direction into Boston.  And then once again have to  drive me home from treatment. I would like to say again from the depths of my heart thank you for your sacrafice and constant love. You make life worth living. xo Many friends also offered to help me with rides etc. God in action for sure. Love to you all too.:)

My phantom mask, thats what I came to call  it ( again my sense of humor) , the plaster mask was now a strong perferated plastic mask that fit my face, skull and had snap locks that locked my entire head 100% in the exact position to the treatment bed so there were no slight movements possible.  BTW, I asked for that mask when I finished radiation, they said sure. I said I am a decorator so I will hang it on my wall. they laughed. It currently sit a plastic bag in my garage.

have learned in life that we have a laugh as much as possible. There is healing in laughter God created such a beautiful creation in us. Laughter, is truely a healthy thing it makes gray colorful. so I laugh all the time and try not to ever stop, sometimes it gets me in trouble and I have to hit the confessional. I remember as a kid reading Erma Bombeck she cracked me up. Remember If life is a bowl of cherries , why do I get all the pitts?

Radiation did not bother me physically for a while. And then, my left side arm and leg decided I am taking a break, see ya and I lost most movement and feeling. I also became very very tired Dr. R said I would and I did. On July 4th 2012, I went into the bathroom  while I was at my brother S  at his cookout. I dropped dropped something on the floor. I went to swat a little to get it off of the floor and realized as soon as I did this that it was a mistake. My image disappeared from the mirror as I took position on the floor quietly. Again, I am stubborn so I just laid there saying hum how do I fix this pickle I got myself into?lol  My brother realized that I was missing and came to the bathroom and inquired through the door, I responded I am fine, I am just here trying to get up. he came in and Still says he does know how he got me up by himself.As a closing remark, I has a chance to study the tile and decor and found it very beautiful . lol

 

I truely feel Blessed because I have the peace from God, my incredible wife, kids, family and so many wonderful friends love and support. Everyone rushing to our sides and everyone has lifted us up. The Spirit was and is so still so high. Life is hard at times but it is our families our faith and friends that get us through.

One  day in I guess it was maybe Sept ,2012  my family told me that they were going to gather here together at my home , something not uncommon for our family. You know, food, family it has alway’s worked for us.lol  My mom, dad, wife, kids, 3 brothers and my dear sister and all of those kids my brothers mother in law M where all here.  There were I guess around 20 people in the house. I was in my recliner, very tired but my Spirit was full of peace, my whole family was here! It was so nice.All of a sudden someone came down the hall behind me and was a dear friend and brother in Christ, A and he hugged me and kissed my cheak. He pulled up my desk chair and started to speak to me , what a surprise! i had not seen A for a while. I said to him what are you doing here and he said that he heard that I was not feeling well. He stated that  he was In the area and wanted to say hello. He gave me a Blessing and left. My brothers were sitting on the couch here in my familyroom  with my dad and one of my brothers said who was that?  And I told them. They were astonished by his presence he is a very good and Holy man. The Spirit of God just shines. God Bless A and his family.There were so many prayers being said for our needs that I swear to God you could feel them raining down on us. I still feel them to this very day. Our prayers for one another are the most powerful gifts that we have to give to help anyone.

So, A left and I was happy for the visit and prayer and blessing he gave me. A short while went by and My brother S had gotten up to leave the room and returned, he said Dan can you come in here. I was like ugh, I had no strength, and needed assistance to get down the hall. I went down the hall and turned the corner to the front hall. I could not figure out why I was being led there. What happened next is a Miracle no doubt!

My brother opened my front door, and what I saw was a little piece of  Heaven! Friends who are gifts from God had quietly converged on my quiet street on the side walk and lawn. They had candles on my front steps with the exception of the  top two.Their had to be at least 40 beautiful souls out there. They were holding candles in their hands.One of my brothers helped me out and led onto the the top landing and I sat against the left rail, They wrapped a blanket around me. Then Praise and Worship began, prayers songs, people were driving by and stopping, some people peered from their windows, and then one of our beautiful friends son came out from behind my pine tree and played amazing grace on his bag pipes. It was just so incredible. I remember, God gave me the message and I tearfully passed it on. ( joy was overflowing)   I said tonight is not about me. Thank you. God is healing so many of us right now and in what ever way we need to be healed.  I think my whole neighborhood was Blessed in that evening. God Bless all of our friends and of my home parish of St. Josephs and 2nd parish home in and retreat center of St Basils in Methuen.

My love to you all and  with God’s Blessings.

So anyway, ( I told you I am not an expert writer, back to the point! 🙂

I went to treatment for radiology of my tumor which was sitting over my central nervous system.I was losing ability rapidly which would explain why when I told Dr. R that I would come back next week,  it  would not have been a good choice on my part. The Doctor understood the whole picture, the process and short window for action, so thank God they pushed with love and concern If they had not, I mayu not be here in this moment.

I will give you the list of meds I was on as well. In the not too distant future so people especially who are going through anything similar will know what was used in my treatment. People ask me that question a whole lot. I know every treatment plan is different and there are always new trial med coming out . So the news is great for everyone! There is lots and lots of Hope!

Celtic Women. You Raise Me Up.

God Bless You, Your in my prayers alway’s,

Danny

 

 

From Lahey Clinic to Dana Farber part 1

Off we went to Dana Farber for our second consult and my new and current Dr. Dr. R. When we arrived it was via wheel chair for me, we were brought into the exam room. Again, we felt nothing but warmth and compassion from everyone. There were a number of medical /clinical coats in the room standing against the wall, my wife, one of my brothers and my sister were present too. I had been helped up on top of the exam table and was sitting upright on the edge of the table my legs dangling down.( It is funny how life makes us at times feel like a little kid).

Dr. R knelt in front of me on one knee and put his hand on my knee and said we have looked at the reports and biopsy information from Lahey and said we agree with the diagnosis. Glio Blastoma multiforme grade 4, it is non surgical. What I realized as I look down into my doctors eyes from my table edge was that he was a truely compassionate and loving man. He did not make me look up while he was talking to me, he took a position kneeling so he could meet me where I was. I remember the peace of God as still just flowing over me and I announced to all of the staff there that God had told me that I had the cancer, cancer was not of God and that I did not own this cancer, I went on to say that God selected them in this time to help me through God’s medicine, God’s machines, and their hands with are the extension of Jesus Christ. we are all Spirit driven and we need to remember where  the Holy Spirit  is from. God! 🙂

I told them about my spontaneous healing in Dec, 2010 that was discussed with my primary care doctor in January 2011 during a physical. He has confirmed the event to be true. This experience that I am going to begin to share is going to be a bit long and I am finding now in this moment will truely be an excercise emotionally but I will continue in a number of writings because what has happened during this time sounds impossible and is astounding but it is also very true. Witnesses were everywhere during this time and nothing will ever be the same . God is revealing his presence in a very strong way with good reason. He wants a personal relationship with us.

So any way, My Dr R was kneeling down on one knee to comfort me, I announced the message God gave me and tears filled his eyes, I was so tired, I just wanted to go home. not upset like one would imagine I had no energy and just wanted to sleep. The team raced out of the room, and two seconds a women that I will refer to as My scottish friend came in as cool as a cuccumber and said Ok Danny the doctor wants me to get an ekg of your heart. I had been insisting on getting into my wheel chair. She gently laid me back onto the table my legs still dangling off of the table and off came the shirt, and on went the electrodes. She started the eeg and when finished helped me with my shirt. And off she went.  My family was  there all the while in that room with me. Its like the bible I always have witness or as I call the Riley clan with me lol  My scottish friend was rolling out of the room, I was being assisted into my wheel chair by my brother and my wife and Dr R’s head nurse S, came into the door closed it and stood with her back against it and said, We need you to stay, we have made calls and want to get more tests done while you are here. I said no, I said I am too tired and I do not have my afternoon medication, she tried to convince me and my family tried to get me to sway, I said thanks I will come back next week. She said okay and sprinted out of the room, I said c’mon lets go. We left the exam room, I sware to God I was leaning left in the chair, so weak. When all of a sudden I heard something and Dr. R was coming down the hall full seam ahead. I saw him look at my family and went to his knees once again, he put his hand on my left arm and said please Dan we want you to stay, I went through the whole I will come back next week thing , I don’t have my meds, my family had to go to work they have not eaten, I was tired. My family asserted once again that it was okay that they would call in to work. Dr R. said we have made all of the arrangements necessary and our radiologist at brigham and womens was staying as late as he had to accomodate me. He said we have all the medications you need in our unit we have meds for occasions like this he said okay:) Then he said why don’t you get a bite to eat and S, meaning his head nurse will see you in a while. I said okay and he patted my arm and smiled. It was yet another Miracle. There are mericales  like this happening daily in our hospitals and doctors offices, we are a Blessed country. and at times fail  to see them for what they are. God’s people are loving,compassionate and giving.

BTW, my ekg came back with a strange rythmn like there were two heart beats and that is because as my test was being done, and it was a stall tactic, my sister who was so devestated was holding my hand thus two heart beats . Just beauitful !

I am exhausted and need to stop for the moment. I will continue to write from this point tomorrow.

God Bless you, and thank you God for everything that give us all. Amen.

Chris Tomlin Thank you God for saving me
