Not Blogging As Much

What can I say? Another chemo treatment, sick, pain, another chemo treatment, sick.... Sorry do I sound down, I'm really not, it's just life right now. I want to be encouraging and I really am because I know that God is seeing us through this and I am doing really well. It could be really worse. It's just getting old!

I know the prayers of all of you have been what has gotten us this far. I know that God has held us up. Seen us through this difficult time. Held us together. I am coming out the other side. I really am doing good. I really am positive. I can see the light at the end of our tunnel. Two more treatments and we will be through with chemo. About four more weeks and we can say we made it.

There is a big bell on the wall in the medical center that you ring when you finish your chemo treatments. I am going to being ringing it soon. There will be a picture on this blog site!! Keep watching for it!!

Here I am trying to steal a new bandana. With the summer coming I think this wig is going to be awful hot. Simon wasn't having any of it and he's keeping his bandana!

Sixth Treatment Over

Another long day, but it's over. Six hours but we are home. Only two treatments to go. Praise the Lord. The end is finally in sight.

Not a bad day, just long. Ken is hanging in there with me and I really appreciate it. There was a lady sitting next to me doing treatment and she said she was alone, going through surgery and treatment with no one with her. It made me realize how truly blessed I am with such a wonderful husband and great friends and family holding me up in prayer and supporting us through this time. Thank you so very much, we need you and don't take you for granted. You have truly blessed us and are holding us up. We could not do it without you and without the great Physician.

Sixth Treatment, 36th Wedding Anniversary

Tuesday we celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary. Wednesday I will have my sixth chemo treatment. After that only two more. It seems there is an end in sight. June will see the end of treatments. In August I will start radiation. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I am sure Ken will take more pictures and I will post more after tomorrow!

Isaiah 26:3 (New King James Version)

"You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You."

It's Been a While

Sorry it's been so long since I've written. The last few treatments have been bears! I am finished with the AC drugs and have started the last series of treatments with Taxol. These treatments will have different side effects and I am now experiencing those. Not as much nausea but more pain and discomfort. More metal taste in my mouth and fatigue.

Ken and I are involved in Relay for Life this Friday and Saturday and are raising money for the American Cancer Society. We are both survivors now and will walk the first lap as such. Our team "Convoy of Hope" purchased luminaries in our honor and there will be four of us on the team walking as survivors. If you are interested in donating in our names you can go to the site at:

http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RFLFY09PL?team_id=500092&pg=team&fr_id=17392

and go to donate, then follow instructions.

I will do a follow up when we finish and let you know how we did. Well actually I will let you know how I did, Ken won't have any trouble!
