Three, Two, One

Just three more radiation treatments in St. Louis! My last treatment will be Christmas eve at 8 am - so I'll be driving home by 9 am! I have been pleased with the care provided by my doctor and all the technicians at the Siteman Cancer Center. The primary side effect from radiation that I have experienced is skin changes. My left chest looks like its been to the Bahamas - sunburned! It is getting to be uncomfortable and tender.
This weekend I purchased groceries for Christmas weekend meals and did some other preparations. I am playing in the church's bell choir on Sunday and providing the "children's chat" for services. Saturday night, Marlin and I are attending a birthday party for a friend.
I am grateful for all the notes, cards, packages - but especially the prayers that I have received during my St. Louis stay. I have the very best family and friends.
God bless you during this special Christmas time.
Delight yourself also in the Lord; and he shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4
Love to you -
Ellen
