Cancer
radiation treatment is done with photons. Photons are bundles of energy that we
call light, which are always in motion. The first thing God created was
photons: let there be light (Genesis 1:3). Depending on the amount of energy a
photon has, it will either behave like a wave or a particle. The lowest energy
photons are known as radio waves (radio and TVs with antennae use these). Next
are cell phone waves (for all our smart phones), then microwaves (for heating
food and telecommunications), and finally infrared (for your TV remote). All of
these light waves are invisible to the eye. Next in line in energy is visible
light. All the colors of the rainbow are just the right balance between photons
acting like a wave and a particle. As the energy of the photons increases, they
become more like particles and we get ultraviolet rays, those nasty rays that
cause sunburn. Next are X-rays; these are most commonly used by doctors to see
the inside of our bodies. These are the photons used for radiation treatments but
are given at a much higher dosage level. Imagine that: healed by light. Healed by Jesus, the Light of the World (John
8:12)!
