Morning!!!!!! Spent a comfortable night. Awake a bit from the steroids they give during the infusion. No discomfort, no nausea. Feel pretty good. God is so good to me! Your prayers are being heard! Thank you! All of you!
Your prayers and your encouragement have blessed me beyond words. You’ve made me feel so loved and that is a huge part of this process. You are amazing!
Chemo destroys your immune system, which makes me very vulnerable, especially to Covid. My white blood cells crashed right off the bat, so my doctor said I’m very sensitive to it that way. They can fix it by giving me injections that stimulate white cell production. So, it’s good; it just means I need to be extra careful. So, I really have to isolate myself. And your comments and your prayers make that doable. I don’t feel isolated. I feel connected and that makes me happy!
I have my horses and my bunnies and my dogs and my sweet happy canary (that anyone who has called me has probably heard singing his heart out in the background) and a beautiful yard with a stream in front. And I can get out and walk around, enjoying my Father’s creation and exercise, and not have to worry about being exposed to even a common cold. I am so blessed.
There are so many things that make this doable. Even losing my hair. Yep, it’s happening, coming out in handfuls. And God is even covering that with grace. I’m OK with it. I’m gonna rock cute head coverings! I would trade my hair any day of the week to kill the cancer. It’s a small small price.
For any of you out there going through this, we can do this! And we can do it with joy and peace and confidence and no fear because God’s got this. He’s got us. Message me if you want to talk, if you need encouragement.
