Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to me!! The MRI showed that the tumors are stable. Woo-hoo!! I go back to my main oncology doctor on January 11 to discuss beginning Tykerb again--that's the oral chemo pill that I took a couple of years ago. She also wants me to prayerfully consider some other things that I need you to pray about, but I'm not going to elaborate about at this time. Just pray. God knows. I'll go back to the radiation doctor in February or March for another MRI and an additional follow-up. They are both quite happy with the results from today's scan, which makes me quite happy!
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." ~ Philippians 4:6-7
Each day is a gift. Don't waist a single one, as most of us do.

Believe
I've been feeling much better since the radiosurgery. Praise God I haven't had many side effects! I had bad headaches at first, but they got better. I lost a little hair in the spot of the radiosurgery, but I texted some family to pray and it stopped. I'm still weak at times but that seems to be the new normal. God is so good!
I go back tomorrow, December 14, for a follow up MRI and doctor appointments. I am believing that cancer in the brain is no longer an issue. Would you pray and believe with me?
As I write this, I'm trying to remind myself how privileged I am. I've been having quite a few emotional ups and downs. I don't like having cancer (what a surprise!) and when I start feeling better, it's easy to put that C word in the back of my mind. But when I have to go back for one of these very necessary but very unwelcome appointments, it comes back to the front and makes me emotional all over again. So, here's another prayer request--emotional stability. Yes, some of you may be thinking that is quite a tall order! LOL!!
In less than two weeks, I will celebrate my birthday. Oh how each one is so special! Adults often don't look forward to their birthdays because they don't want to get older. Well, if you're not getting older and moving forward, then you're dead! Yes, I know that when I die I'll be in a MUCH better place with my sweet Jesus. No more tears. No more pain. And NO MORE CANCER!! How glorious that will be! But I also know that He's not finished with me down here yet and that my family will miss me. Each birthday is so special. Each day is so special. We've been given the wonderful privilege of experiencing this world and sharing His love each day we're here. Yes, this world is full of tremendous challenges, but aren't we blessed that He chose us to share His love and good news! He believes in us. Shouldn't we believe in Him?
