What a Ride

Bizarre!! That is the only way to sum up how I have been feeling these past few days. The pain has been nothing like I had expected, thank the good Lord. My nerves are on edge more than anything. It's as if I can feel this foreign substance circulating in my body reeking havoc on all the healthy cells. Exactly what it is suppose to do, but its just freaky. I just want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the prayers, cards, comments on my blog, food, etc. God is not leaving my side. I can just feel him coddling me daily. It is an awesome feeling!!!

Please forgive me if I don't answer the phone or take a call. I have been taking my meds like I suppose to & they zap me. I love you all & appreciate everything you are doing for my family & me.

By the way...just to clear the air...I am going to be taking chemo for six months, with scans every two months. Then I will be on maintenance chemo for approximately a year. This is what the plan is for now. The primary origin of the cancer is breast. It has metastasized to my bones, primarily my spine, pelvis, rib cage, & right arm. A few lymph nodes are positive also. No major organs are involved, which is a blessing. This is very rare considering I had stage 0 & double mastectomies back in Sept '03. Evidently some have heard that I only have six months to live. Lord willing, you all will have to put up with me much longer. Ha!

Keep praying & god bless you all!

Whatever you ask for in prayer BELIEVE that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24

Hey sweetie! I'm so glad to see you're doing ok considering what you've been through with the chemo. I see God is answering our prayers daily as we ask Him to help you stay strong and not let you be in pain so that you can rest while your body heals. I think about you constantly but haven't called for that very reason. I don't want to wake you and, of course, I have a "knack" for pulling it out of Anth daily!lol Also, on a lighter note....Thank God you haven't had the urge to Throw up! God must have seen you TRY to do this before so he is sparing EVERYONE from that!!! I love you and may our heavenly father continue to Bless you! Gina

Hey girl!
Your mother gave me your blog site address at church today. Now some of us will be able to keep track of you (kind of like a UPS package - LOL!) Good luck with the chemo.
Tell that doctor hubby of yours that I made it to Norway after he did surgery on my toes, and the scenery was great. I made it to New Zealand this past March, and he's right! The southern part of New Zealand is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I've got pictures if you ever want to see them. He said y'all would like to go. Get better quick so he can take you. Love and Prayers, Glenna
