Father, thank you for Rick's amazing spirit and encouragement to others as he walks thru a difficult time in his own life. He is truly an amazing guy. We ask that you would pour your favor upon him in every area of his life: his health, his personal life, and his ministry. Let him feel you close to him always. Create divine encounters daily by sending people to minister to him and so that he can continue in ministry to others. Continue to be his strength and guide. Thank you Lord. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen
Hey Rick,
Thanks for the update. Wow, it's been such an ordeal already but treatment day is finally really close. We are praying and thinking of you. Bunches of love to you.
Amanda

Thanks for the prayers, I will know Wed. when I see my liver specialist if we will begin liver treatments.
Some may wonder what the Pegasys alternative is called: it's consensus inteferon- a daily shot plus oral meds daily( been busy & if I missed getting back to a pm, please excuse me).

Hey Rick, sounds like everything is moving along smoothly. We'll be praying that that will continue as you begin the treatment. Thanks for the updates. Blessings ^_^
Father, bless Rick in every area of his life. Draw him close to you and let your presence be felt as never before. We agree together for your perfect will to be done for your glory Lord. Touch his health and restore his body. Allow divine encounters to bless him and for him to be a blessing to others. Thank you for his great faith. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Monday began another chapter in my treatment history; and thank God I'm optimistic & as usual put it all in God's hands..if I did not have to drink of this cup I'd prefer it..but once again I am at the forefront in a try at a treatment for hep c & the recent diagnosis of cirroshis.
You see I am not in a trial or anything like that it's just that I am the first patient of my liver specialist to try this type treatment (his world reknowned boss who sometimes sees me has only had one) so...if this is successful it may be another treatment avenue more widely used in the future for others that suffer from liver disease & dually w/ hiv.
Saturday I picked up the ribavirin that I must orally take twice a day & Monday began the CONSENSUS INTEFERON, that I will inject daily for one year.
The inteferon must be refrigerated & the reason I had all of these recent tests: biopsy, endonoscopy, colonoscopy, mri & stress test was to make sure that I was up to the daily injections & oral meds.
On the other past version you will recall I had 2 hospitalizations for blood transfusions and am prone to anemia. So, I ask for you to pray for success that my hep c viral load will go to undetectable, the liver scarring melt away & no side effects like anemia & these other ones:
SIDE EFFECTS: Flu-like symptoms following each injection (fever, chills, headache, muscle aches and pains, malaise) occur with all of the interferons. These symptoms vary from mild to severe and occur in up to half of all patients. The symptoms tend to diminish with repeated injections and may be managed with analgesics such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) and antihistamines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl).
Tissue damage at the site of injection occurs with all of the interferons but more commonly with interferon beta-1b and pegylated interferon alfa-2b.
Depression and suicide have been reported among patients receiving interferons; however, it is unclear whether depression and suicidal thoughts are caused by the diseases being treated or the interferons themselves. Therefore, all patients receiving treatment with an interferon should be observed for the development of depression and suicidal thoughts.
Other side effects that may occur with all interferons and which may be caused by higher doses are fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, joint aches, back pain and dizziness. Still other possible side effects are anorexia, congestion, increased heart rate, confusion, low white blood cell count, low platelet count, low red blood cell count, an increase in liver enzymes, an increase in triglycerides, temporary skin rashes, mild hair loss or hair thinning, swelling (edema), cough or difficulty breathing.
Know though that whenever a health care professional sits me down & says Mr. ******** you could experience____________ or_________________ or____________ my response is no I won't.
So there we are on the verge of another year (God willing) of daily injections & oral meds w/ me believing that within the first three months my test will show an UNDETECTABLE hep c viral level & by the end of a year the scarring on my liver will show it's melted away.
Thanks for your prayers and concern; and as always if you ever need advice in this area for friend, family, fellow church member or you--- feel free to contact me in confidence. God is still on his throne & there's no better doctor, amen ?
God bless you,
Rick/Ps. 118:17 
I began the shot before midnight Mon..& will generally inject around the same time daily..mainly I couldn't sleep & for a few hours had a chill like affect..this should lessen over time..

Lord I pray for Brook as he goes forward with these treatments.
I ask Lord that you would bless him with no bad side affects or complications.
I pray Lord that this will prove to be a positive way of treatment for brook.
Lord I pray that you watch over him and keep him in your arms.
May he continue to find his strength in you and you renew him daily.
Lord I pray that you will embrace him in your tender mercy
Thank you Lord
In Jesus name
Amen

You are awesome. Your faith and trust in God is such an amazing testimony.
I know that my life has been touched and inspired by you.
Keep us posted.
Bunches of Love to you Rick <3
Father, be with Rick today and through the entirety of this treatment. Your word has promised that you will, so we are not concerned. But you have also told us to make our requests known, so I ask that you walk so very close to Rick -- so close that he can almost feel your movements around him and he can literally hear your breathing. We ask you to heal him completely Lord.
He is your kid, what a great man of God. I know you are proud of Him. Bless him, minister to the deepest needs of his heart, and continue to anoint his ministry to others. We ask even beyond the need Lord -- we ask that you lavish extra gifts on him in every way. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Father, we pray for Rick. We ask that you would touch his body as he goes through this treatment and keep him well. Cause his blood to balance out and let this anemia be corrected, in the name of Jesus. Keep him from losing too much weight and help him to keep a good appetite with no nausea. Side effects seem inevitable, but we ask that you would intervene and make them minimal or non-existent. Walk him through this treatment according to your wisdom and your mercy. Cause him to be well and encouraged. Restore his health and guard his heart. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Love to you Rick <3
