Radiation therapy

Today was my first radiation treatment. I only have 27 more to go. I will be going everyday at 9:30 for about half an hour. If all goes well I should be finished by October 8th. Thank you for your prayers today as laying still for a half hour was not to bad.

I did Wal-Mart before going to center so still need to put some groceries away. Take care.

HOME SAFELY

I arrived home around 9:30 this morning. I had enough time to unpack, rest for a bit and head back to town for appointments. I had lab work done which proved to be good results. I saw Dr. Honeycutt and don't go back until mid November. I had my port cleaned. I met with Dr. Allen, a radiologist to plan radiation treatments. I had a CAT scan, permanent markings put on my body and start radiation on Monday at 12:30. I will have 28 treatments. All in all I had a good day, but am very tired tonight.

I have book study here at 8:30 tomorrow morning. It will be so good to be together again.

Nicole's sonogram went well yesterday. She is 20 weeks. The fetus looks good with no problems that they could detect.

I had a great time with all the grand kids and have a lot of stories. Not sure when I will get back there to visit.

Pray for me on Monday as I have to lay still for half an hour. May God bless each of you as you continue to serve Him.

Wednesday, August 19

I had a dentist appointment today. All went well. I am feeling very tired and not sure why so have had a lazy afternoon. I hope to mow tomorrow while it is cooler.

I am leaving for a few days to go visit the girls. I will take off Friday morning and return in time for two doctor appointments on Thursday. Yesterday was Jenn's birthday so we will celebrate while I am there. Nicole has a sonogram late Wednesday so will pick up Charli from daycare so she can go see pictures of her new sibling.

Hoping you are all well. I will try to write at least once while I am gone.

I had an appointment with Dr. Crowder, my surgeon, today. All went well and she seemed very pleased with healing from surgery. She was glad that I made it through all 6 chemos. I see her again on November 12.

I did not feel very good after I arrived home. She did tell me to expect to deal with nausea off and on for the nest few months. It is reassuring to know that what I am feeling is normal. Please pray for an increase in energy and strength as the days go by.

CHEMO COMPLETED

Praise be to God for His strength and peace as I completed round 6 yesterday. I had a rough start early morning with emotional issues. Calls to four friends and prayers sustained me. I have pump change this morning and then taken off for the last time on Monday morning. I slept from7 PM until 5 this morning. Am tired already but need to get dressede for the day. May God bless each of you with peace and joy this dady and always.

LAST DAY

Sorry I did not blog last night. I was very tired and was in bed again by 7 pm up this morning by 5. Feeling a little on the rough side with nausea. Will probably have to take some meds soon.

PRAY that I have an easy day and can relax and not be so tense. I am not sure what my problem is. I should be excited and not tied in knots. May God's peace be on me this very moment and fill me to overflowing calm and rest.

Weird

I slept 12 hours last night. That is about 6 more than normal. Pray that vitlas are good today. I have a rash on my chest which was not there last night. Now what????

Tuesday

It was a very long day. I did not hooked up until after nine so did not finish until after 4. I did have a few visitors but spent most of the day sleeping. I am very tired tonight and not sure why. Will be getting ready for bed soon.

Monday, August 3

My visit with Dr. Honeycutt went well. My blood work continues to be good, so will go ahead with treatment starting tomorrow. This is the 6th session so praise God that all is still going well. I am feeling anxious this afternoon and having slight nausea which is psychological. I am praying that God will give me peace, strength and a good nights sleep. Thank you all for your faithful prayers as I continue with this journey.
