Challenges

I am going to try to update the blog each Saturday. We'll see if I can keep it up!

I'm beginning to become more tired. I just can't seem to bounce back from the treatments like I did before. I guess 17 months of chemotherapy will do that to a person!

This week has been a bit challenging. I've been trying to catch a cold. Yeah, I know. I shouldn't try too hard!

I have a treatment this Thursday. Like I've stated in the original post, I take chemo pills daily. The treatments I receive every three weeks include an infusion of herceptin and an infusion of zometa. Herceptin causes me to have a lack in concentration, and zometa causes flu-like symptoms. I don't exactly look forward to them.

I also have a CT scan scheduled for Thursday morning. I should know the results that day. Please keep us in your prayers. We do need them!

On a lighter note, I'm getting more and more excited about my son David's wedding. The wedding is June 2 and I'm in the midst of planning a shower for his fiance' Eva and in planning the rehearsal dinner. What an exciting time in their lives! Eva has truly been an answer to our prayers. She is such a blessing. My daughter Rachel is the maid of honor. How sweet of Eva to bestow such an honor on Rachel! I'm such a proud mom!

  1. Ok I will be praying for the results. I want to come visit but I have been around students with a very contagious stomach/flu bug. Gonna give it some time and hopefully will be clear enough to visit. But I will call before. Love you and just know I want to hug you, so I hug you through prayer! Great news about David and Eva! Nothing like a wedding to bring a family joy!

    1. I know. There is so much going around right now! I guess you've seen on the news where there have been six cases of the whooping cough in Madison County. We're just hoping it avoids Monrovia! By the way, I'm hugging you back! Love you!
