I posted yesterday about our house being built in Springfield well it is in Joplin!  I will be in Springfield until June then we are moving to Joplin.  I can do bloodwork and shots in Joplin and continue to do my chemo in Springfield.  Have a wonderful weekend and keep FAITH>

Another Week

I went for chemo today!  The chemo I do in the office really isn't bad at all.  I think if it weren't for the oral chemo I could drive myself but for now my mom goes with me!!!  Thank you mom!!!  I have another week of oral chemo and then i am off a week.  YEA  I will be getting my shots on the 30th and the 1st before the next treatment on the 3rd.  I am not sure how many I will have to do but we know it is working so that is all that matters.  I haven't had very much energy an that it very frustrating but I guess it is part of it.  My hair is thinning again so I pray that it slows down.  I am going to try to keep what I have for as long as I can. My friend Sheri brought dinner over again this week.  Wow she is a great friend.  We leave for MEXICO in 44 days and I am counting it down.  It seems like life is so busy right now with school finishing up.  Dominique goes to her first prom on Saturday and I am so excited.  I will post pictures.  Emma is busy playing volleyball here in Springfield and also in Carthage.  Keep praying and I will keep fighting.  Thanks for all my family and friends.  Oh yea the first floor of our new home in Springfield is now framed!!!!!  We thought we would add another project to our list!!!!! 

Tough Week

Went for shots on Monday and Tuesday and boy had I forgotten how bad they were.  I felt like I had the flu with pain in my stomach all week.  I went for chemo yesterday and it went OK all my levels were good.  I had to cut back on my blood thinner. I started back on oral chemo last night.  I take 4 pills a day for 14 day.  It makes me really sick but I am going to try to push through it.  Dominique gets to go to her first prom next weekend and I am so excited and Emmalee starts volleyball this weekend.  I am just trying to rest so I can make it to their games!  We are also building a new house in Joplin and I hope it will be done by the end of June but it probably wont be until August.  We will be moving to Joplin as soon as school is out so we can be closer to family.  We are all excited  I will still be getting treated in Springfield but I can do blood work and shots in Joplin so I feel it will all work out.  I am believing that this will be the last time and for a COMPLETE HEALING.  I have been healed twice so the third time is the charm.  It gets harder and harder to fight but I have amazing support all around me and I have two gifts from God to fight for.  We leave for Mexico in 51 day and yes I am counting!!!!  Need something to look forward to.  I think we all need a break from cancer!!!!  I start back up with blood work and shots on Monday and Tuesday and chemo again on Thursday so just pray for peace strength and no pain.  Thank you and love you all!!! 

Great Week

I have had a great week.  I didn't have to do any chemo.  I did do blood work and it was good.  I have to do shots Monday and Tuesday next week to get ready for chemo on Thursday.  I also start oral chemo too.  That is what is hard the oral chemo!  I will get through it.  We have 57 days until we leave for Mexico so I have something to look forward too.  I told the Dr's that I was NOT going to let chemo or cancer hold me back from enjoying life with my family!!!!  My brother and his family gets to go this time!  I wish my sister and her family were going to but they are going to Florida.  We will just have to plan something for the future.  Life is so short and we need to enjoy every minute that God lets us have!!!  Hope everyone has a wonderful Passover!!!!!  Thanks for all the prayers and support.  Love everyone.
