Urgent Prayers Needed

Although Gigi had her the last of her chemo/radiation treatment this past week she is extremely sick.  She cannot keep any food down and is vomiting blood at this point. 
 
Our friend is enduring the toughest part and she is asking for prayers - specifically for the healing of her esophagus. I know your prayers are precious to Gigi and her family.  Thank you so much and if I hear anything else, I will keep you posted.

Love,
Carmen

Finals Week!

So here I am! Final week!

Two more days of radiation! Four more days of chemo! 

It seems like everything is in slow motion. Even after I am finished, the after-effects from radiation linger for a couple weeks, so I won't be bouncing back real quickly. 

I picture myself in a race and everyone is on the sidelines cheering me on! 
"You can do it!", "You are almost there!", "You are doing well!" Even though it feels like I could lay down and quit! I am not a quitter! I will finish the race! But not without all of you! Thank you for your love and support!

Love,
Gigi

Deeper Still

I thought I might give an update.

I have just entered week 5 into my treatment. I am feeling the major effects of radiation!

Burning, nausea, not being able to keep food down, constant ache in my abdomen. Very weak and fatigued. I now have lost beyond the weight I started at. I am not telling all this to gain sympathy, I say it to be real and tell you the cold hard facts of cancer! If you have gone through treatment then you know what I am talking about. If you haven't pray you never do!

I watched the bible AD series and I thought about where Jesus asked His Father why He has forsaken Him! And Jesus is God! Sometimes it can feel that way. But the truth is, He hasn't forsaken me because the scriptures tell me He will never leave me nor forsake me! I can stand on that!

Pray me on to the end, church!

I am almost to the finish line!

I am deeper than my feet could ever wander!!!!
