So what's up with me? I've been doing fairly well. A couple of months ago, my doctor said that since my scans had been consistently showing that my cancer is stable, I could start coming every 4-5 weeks instead of every three for a treatment. I was so excited! I do get tired of making a trip to Birmingham every three weeks. It can be quite depressing. Last month, however, I was a bit dehydrated so I could not receive the Zometa. As a reminder, I receive Zometa to help reduce or delay complications the cancer can cause because it spread to my bones. It also helps with the bone pain. I'm supposed to drink a lot of water to help the Zometa secrete from my body properly. I keep a water bottle with me, but I obviously had not been drinking enough. Since then I have been drinking much more than before. I had a treatment Thursday and was no longer dehydrated. Yay! I've been having a lot of bone pain lately, so hopefully receiving the Zometa will help. Keep praying!
In the meantime, just remember that God's plan is always best. I know that all of this is part of His plan. I don't like it right now, but I know it's best and will work out for good. No matter what you may be going through, if you are His it will be okay in the end. As Romans 8:28 states, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Until next time!
