I had chemo last week, just the Gemzar. My blood counts were a little low, so the dosage was adjusted lower to help decrease the side effects. I have felt good, some fatigue, and a few minor nosebleeds, but I can function pretty good and keep up with the house, cooking, and doing some shopping!! Grant, Tosha, Marlin and I went to Joplin on New Year's Day for a little shopping trip. Grant and Tosha found some bargains, and I enjoyed being with my family.
I have blood tests tomorrow (Monday, Jan. 4) and a PET scan on Thursday Jan. 7th. The PET scan will help determine if the chemo is working and how many more treatments will be planned. Please keep me in your prayers.
I provided Children's moment in church today - talked about a new year being full of surprises, anticipation and expectations. Although we hope for good things, tough times present themselves and we depend on God for guidance. May all those reading this be richly blessed in the new year.
Depend on the Lord, trust Him, and he will take care of you. Psalm 37:5
Blessings to you -
Love to you -
