Cancer: October 2008 Archives

Fifth Week

|
I am finishing my fifth week of radiation and chemo. The chemo and
radiation effects have finally caught up with me. So I'm feeling mostly
exhausted and my guts have gone on strike. I am making myself eat even
though I don't feel too swift.

But, I must remember to THANK and PRAISE the Lord that the first four
weeks of my treatment were so easy. How blessed am I that I made it so
far without any ill effects!

Thank you so much for your continuing prayers!

Great Dream!

 I am baffling my doctors because I have virtually no side effects from the
chemo, radiation, or medications.  Even better news is that the pins and
needles/burning neurological symptoms have diminished considerably! This
means the treatments are working and the cancer cells are being
destroyed!  Praise the LORD!  Thank you for praying!  God is answering
your prayers!
I had a dream, the night before last, that my radiation oncologist
looked at my MRI taken at the end of my treatment in October. He was
nearly jumping up and down with excitement saying, "You're cured!"  That
was a GREAT dream which I expect to come true!

Keep praying!

Fouth Week Going Well

|
I've started my fourth week of radiation and chemo. I am doing really well!  I am still gaining back weight rather than loosing it. Though I am starting to have some cumulative effects from the treatments.  But, my husband and I laugh together and say "Finally some proof that the chemo has not just been sugar pills, and the radiation has actually been turned on during the treatments!" When my energy is gone for the day, it is really gone.  But, thus far that is not until after dinner.  So I'm still up to doing a lot and really enjoying visiting with family! My other whine is my hair follicles in the path of the radiation entry and exit area finally couldn't take it any longer. Most of the hair on both side of my head came out in clumps. Instant mohawk!  I can now give any punk rocker a run for their money!  Okay, I'm done whining!
  I am doing so well, feeling so well, and feeling happy and at peace.  I KNOW this is because God is answering your prayers for me.  Praise the LORD God!  I feel very blessed!
