So I am on my way to get my port and no doubt it will be a
long day. It is becoming a reality. I will be starting my chemo treatments next
week. I have been at a stand still for the last two weeks. Now that we have the
plan, they have started moving fast.
I will be having chemo for 6 weeks, with a week off. Then I
will start radiation and chemo for another 6 weeks. I will have 6 to 10 weeks
of recovery and healing, then on to surgery. This type of cancer is best
treated with chemo, radiation, and surgery. It makes the percentage of
reoccurrence much lower.
After the first 6 weeks of chemo, they will do a pet scan to
see how the tumor has responded. If it shrinks by 35% I will continue on with
that drug, if not they will switch me over to the other drug that they use.
So
we begin the journey. I have peace in My God! I have peace in my medical team!
I have peace in my support! I will come out of this a changed person, but I
pray it will be more like Jesus!
Please pray for:
Me to keep up my eating - high calories, high protein
Energy level
My prayer is the tumor will shrink 50% God can do more if He
would like to!
I will tolerate the chemo well
I am not the only one at this time going through this kind
of journey
My friend and sister in Christ Tara will start her chemo
next week as well! Please pray for her to be strong and tolerate her treatment
well. Peace for her and her family.
Jon and Amy Neimi. They have been given very encouraging
news concerning his cancer. Pray that God will continue to do what He does the
best. HEAL !!!
Above all our God will get the glory and praise for all
things! These journeys will bring people to our Jesus!
Love you all.
You are in our prayers and thoughts daily. Thank you so much for your posts. They shoe Jesus.
