I know you all are probably wondering what has happened to me. I am ok and hanging in there. I had a hard time after my treatment on May 20th and June 10th. I was sick for over a week with both of them. It seems they get harder with each treatment, but the good news is I am done with those hard treatments. June 10th was the last one. I go to the doctor tomorrow and meet about starting my light chemo treatments each week for the next 12 weeks.
I have taken some time off work and our friends from California, David & Cindy Lane called and had some free tickets for us to come out there. So, on May 30th we flew to California for a week. It was a great and relaxing time. They were amazed at how much I was eating, because they had heard how I wasn't eating, but that was my third week after treatment, so I had my hunger back.
I had my last hard treatment on June 10th and was sick again. We had Vacation Bible School June 16th-20th and I was not feeling well, but I made it to the church every night. My mom came and spent the week, helped me around the house and cleaned for me. She also helped us with VBS and had a good time. She was a big help. I was suppose to have another Ultrasound done that week before going to the doctor on June 24th, but I felt so bad, I didn't get it done. The next week when I felt better, but they couldn't get me in, so I made an appointment for July 2nd.
I was feeling better by my birthday on June 23. We went to Southlake, had dinner with our girls and went to a movie. It was a fun night. I did some things around the house that week while I was feeling better.
I had my ultrasound done last Wednesday and the news is very good. They said my lymph nodes are close to 1 centimeter which is the size they are suppose to be. Only one was just a little over a centimeter, but they didn't have the mass and volume she had seen before when I first found out I had cancer. She couldn't even see the places in my breast----so---WOW--PRAISE THE LORD. I am going tomorrow to meet with my oncologist and he will have those results and hopefully start the lighter chemo treatments tomorrow.
Again, I am so greatful for all the prayers and great friends. I have so many people praying for me. I met a couple last week from Colorado and they prayed for me right then and there. God is so good and amazing. Until next time (and I promise it won't be so long) keep your eyes looking up to Jesus. To Him all glory, honor, praise, and adoration. Love you all.
