Sorry it has been so long since I have updated my blog. I got behind, then I started therapy on my arm for lymphodyma. I am on my last week of my 2 week therapy. My arm is all wrapped up so I am typing with one hand. Kind of hard, but much better than trying to write with my left hand since I am right handed. Trying to do just about everything with one hand (your non-dominate one) is pretty hard, but I've just got 3 more days. Yeah!
Since my last update I have had another round of chemo, which went really well. They gave me a new anti-nausea drug with my chemo, which is long acting -around 2 to 3 days. And it helped tremendously. Another praise!!
Also sice my last update though a very good friend of mine found out that her cancer has reoccurred. Her name is Tracey. We went through cancer treatment together the last time around. That is how I met her - in the chemo room. She is 4 years younger than me, but our families are very similiar. She was born late in the family, like me, with a sister who is over 10 years older than she - whereas mine is 10 years older than me. We all just clicked and I have felt apart of her family as well as she in mine. It is like we have known each other all our lives. There is also a special bond there that we share, but wish we didn't - having cancer. And now having a reoccurrence together.
It has been very hard on us and our families, as you can imagine. Tracey is married and has a 5 year old little boy named Jackson. Tracey's cancer is colon. Another thing we have in common as well is that neither one of us has any family history of these cancers.
We are both asking the question "why" a lot now. Why us and why at such young ages - and Tracey has a son she needs to be here for to help raise with her husband Todd.
Please remember them and the family during this time. I know they will greatly appreciate your prayers. She has had many people praying for me as well. Tracey is very special to me. We have scheduled our next chemo treatments together on the same day and time - which will be this coming Monday, May 22 at 9:00 a.m.
Since my last update I have also been able to spend time with another good friend, her husband, and new baby -- Elizabeth, Billy, and Bailey. She is sooo cute! And I think her hair is going to be red. :) We had fun together. They left today to go back to Cental Asia where they are working. Pray for them, their ministry there, and their families. They are a blessing to me.
Well, this one handed typing is getting hard, so I will end for now. Please pray for the following prayer requests and I will continue to keep you updated.
