I find God's peace amid the chaos! HE is raising me up to face the challenge.
I apologize for not updating my blog in a while. There hasn't been much going on lately...'health-wise' that is. Most days I am feeling very well!
I saw my oncologist on Nov. 8th, everything is going okay. My blood counts were coming back up from treatment on 10/25. My next chemo treatment will be on Monday, Nov 22.... just in time for Thanksgiving! My history indicates unfortunately that I will probably be sick on Thanksgiving Day...bummer. However I am undeniably thankful that I will see another Thanksgiving Day!!!
As I blogged before, my veins are becoming difficult to access by IV, so I had a 'port' put in on Wednesday, 11/10 to make it easier in the long run for blood draws and chemotherapy. It's been a week and I am still pretty sore from the procedure. The port was put in just below the collar bone but above my chest on my right side, so I can't raise my arm above my head, nor can I lift anything for about a month. Anyone who knows me, knows that's a difficult order for me to follow....but I'm doing the best I can! Fortunately, I will have had 12 days to heal before it will be used for my next treatment.
I will blog after my treatment next week. Thank you for your continued prayers. Get out and enjoy this wonderful fall weather....I certainly am!
With God, all things are possible. Matthew 19:26

Happy Anniversary to me!!
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
One year ago today, I was diagnosed with a 'worrisome' brain tumor. One year ago this Wednesday, I had a craniotomy to remove the 1.6cm tumor. It was then determined to be cancer. I remember this life-changing week like it was yesterday. But...this year has flown by and look how far we've come! I am healthy, I am strong and I am determined.
You all have inspired me to stand faithful, hopeful and to never give up....and I have no intention of giving up.
Together, everyone, our prayers are making a difference. Thank you for your faithfulness in traveling this journey with me. We have so much more life to live and to give.
"The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you".
+Peace,
Sandy
