Radiation, week 4 completed ✅

Just finished the fourth week of radiation.  I’m still feeling really well.  This week I started having a rash and some itching but with the special cream the doctor gave it calmed down after a couple of days.  Very thankful to be feeling so well.  Thank you for your continued prayers.

Chemo Again but Different

I started taking the chemo pill on Monday, the 21st.  It was a little disappointing that I had nausea after the first dose but it lessened after a few hours.  Since then the nausea has been very little and definitely tolerable, for this I am very grateful.😌  The typical chemo schedule will continue for 7 cycles (2 weeks of chemo and 1 week off) and approximately 5 months but it will depend on future surgery and how I tolerate the chemo side effects  After my meeting with the oncologist on Monday the plan is to take the pills for two weeks and then take two weeks off to do blood work this time since I’ll be out of the state. If everything checks out I will begin the pills again on January 17th.  The doctor also said it would be fine to make our annual trip to Florida.  Please pray that symptoms will continue to be very minimal and that the trip to Florida goes well.  I continue to be extremely grateful for your prayers and support.🙏❤️

Ring the Gong!

Image
Met with the oncologist today and he said we should stop chemo pill due to the increasing neuropathy.  He said to be happy with the treatments I was able to do.  I got to ring the gong signifying I’m done with treatments.  Lots of clapping and cheering. Soon we will meet with the surgeon to determine when that date will be scheduled and how the skin is healing after the radiation.  But we are cheering for a huge triumph today! It was evident God has been providing wisdom each step in this difficult battle. Today close’s an important chapter-done with chemo therapy x 2!  Thank you for your support and encouragement through this journey.
