God holds me head and shoulders above all who try to pull me down.
Psalms 27
Want to give a quick update....not much going on with me right now. I'm feeling good, and all seems to be going well. I met with my new doctor last week. I have a MRI tomorrow morning, Friday, June 25th. I should get the results at my next doctor visit on Tuesday, June 29th. I expect my next Chemo treatment to be on Wednesday, June 30th.
Pray that all goes well over the next week.
Thanks everyone, I'll be back in touch next week.
My trust in God grows ever stronger.
Have a great weekend everyone.
+ Peace

Treatment #3
Make each day your Masterpiece!
I saw my oncologist on Thursday, June 3rd. My blood counts were low again, but she wanted me to go forward with chemo anyway. I went back on Friday morning and got the Neulasta shot to start stimulating my bone marrow to build my counts back up. For some reason, this treatment was pretty rough. I didn't feel well all weekend, although Saturday was better than Sunday. Sunday, I had body aches (side effect of the Neulasta) and was very nauseous (side effect of the Carboplatin). I'm finally starting to feel better today, but still taking one day at a time.
When I saw my doctor on Thursday, she didn't seem her normal self. She told me she had some bad news that she needed to talk to me about. Of course I started to panic...who wouldn't when their doctor starts a conversation that way? For a few seconds my mind flashed-back to the day my surgeon told me the tumor pathology results....Yikes...major panic!! Oh my gosh, Lord, you are really testing me, aren't you? Well, as it turns out, the news is that my doctor is leaving St. Louis to move back to her hometown in Ohio for family reasons. Phew....that's it?...It's not about me? Thank the Lord it's not about me!!
Of course, I'm not happy that she won't be my doctor, but as I told her...family comes first, she needs to take care of her family. I would absolutely do the same thing if I was faced with family issues that needed care.
I fully believe and trust that everything that happens, happens for a reason. I will find a new doctor that will forge ahead with me in my care. I will continue to come out on top and climb this mountain for as long as I need to. Many times shaking up the situation opens up new opportunities and new ways of looking at things. I'm considering this a new opportunity to fight this battle in new ways. I know we are winning and we will continue to win!
Thank you to everyone who is in this battle with me. You build me up and make me stronger everyday.
I bless my mind and body with thoughts of perfect health....I am one with God.
