I got myself the HBV...

[frater_domus]

I am less than two months away from starting med school... and I found out I have the Hepatitis B virus and chances are, that it is chronic. I had a vaccination, but apparently it did not trigger an immune response. This appears to be negligence from my physician, as it should've been tested, but it can't be changed. Should it turn out to be chronic HBV, my chances of finding work as a physician are highly limited. As of right now, there is no cure. While symptoms may be non-existent, being a carrier is enough to be denied.

Frankly, I worry. I want to trust God, for He led me down this path. However, my natural instincts are taking over and I fear for what's to come. As someone who changed direction after my first degree, I worry that I would spend yet another bunch of years in vain.

I pray that God will lead me on and takes my fear away...

Praying for you to be guided by His spirit to have the courage and insight to see the solutions that the Lord wants for you and your life. May you be blessed with vision and clarity as to His will for you now.

See a hepatologist stat and see if you only tested positive for anti bodies that were present, but you do not have the virus. This actually happened to a friend of mine who was told he had hep c and it was not correct, except that he went to a specialist and found out it was only anti bodies that gave him the positive test result!

Get treatment and medical advice only from them as they totally got this when it comes to all things liver and test results.

PS-general practitioners gave him a potential death sentence and they were wrong!

Praying for your fear and anxiety to be quelled in the name of jesus

I am lifting you up in prayer friend and standing with all that is of Jesus Christ that this is a false report No matter what life may throw at us, may it all go to God's glory and may He use it greatly.

Praying for you and your situation... may the Lord deliver you and calm your fears. Amen

Seen a professional today. Seeing as it was the first test ever, we will need further tests. However, given my birth and story behind it, I seem to be a lifelong carrier without any complications given a very low virus load.

While we will do further tests, chances are good that I will not be able to study medicine. Still, I seem to be calm and fully accepted the situation. God saw to it

Father, how frustrating this must be, desiring to go in one direction, and outside forces pulling them in another. As the disciples upon the stormy sea were unable to control the situation, their boat, or the outcome of their lives, may we be like them and "run" to Jesus WHO CAN! Regardless of our own plans and desires, may we learn to continually lean heavily upon Him. Proverbs 3:5-6. May we allow Him to implant within us the desires He would want us to have, Psalms 37:4. May our prayers be for us to follow You in Your will and plans, not for You to simply bless our own plans. May we loyally and most willingly follow where You want to lead, even if Your leading sometimes reverses directions, or seems to veer off from where WE THOUGHT You were leading. May we give You our daily lives, as You provide our daily bread. May we feed on the bread of Your Written Word, and not just on the provisions of the world the flesh and the devil. Amen.
