My dear friends,
I am sorry for getting this update out so slowly. The last two weeks were busy ones. On Monday the 27th, Al and I spoke with my oncologist about stopping the chemo until we go to MD Anderson and he was fine with that decision. We head out there on Monday the 10th to get testing and discuss their recommendations for treatment. I must say that with every week I’ve been off the chemo, I have felt more like myself both mentally and physically. The chemo I was on was strong and my body just had a lot of issues with it. It seemed I could never completely recover from one treatment until it was time for the next one to begin. The last few weeks have seen warmer temperatures and sunny days. Feeling better and being able to enjoy the outdoors makes me feel so renewed. You just can’t beat what God creates.
On January 30th, the doctor called and said my potassium levels were critically low, so they set me up for an IV the next day (4 hours). The Saturday after the treatment I did not feel well, but on Sunday morning I woke up much better. It was a beautiful day and I was able to go outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. This past week I have continued to feel better every day. So now I’m looking forward to the week ahead and our trip to MD Anderson. Amazing what a few good days of feeling well can do for you physically and mentally.
Please pray for wisdom from God on what to do. I am assuming there may be multiple options. Also please pray for physical strength and a sharper mind. Al and I will need to absorb what we hear and to process it. Finally, please pray for God’s perfect peace as we make the decision on which course of action to take and may He be glorified in whatever we do. I can’t say it enough, but thank you for the love, care, and many prayers lifted up to God for us (and the delicious meals 🙂
