Great Results Again

I know I haven't written in some time. There is good news to share from the scans. The bone scan showed much improvement in the bone lesions. The doctor said the bone pain I've been experiencing was due to my bones healing. The CT scan showed that the cancer was stabilized, with no new areas. I have been feeling bad, but started feeling better last week since it was my off week. The last thing I wanted to do was to sit in front of the computer & write about it. As soon as I got everyone out the door, back to bed I would go. My lack of energy was unlike anything I've had. A good book didn't even appease me. This weekend though I became the energizer bunny & purged junk from Abby's room & Anthony & I cleaned the garage out. Sounds like fun, right?! It is a liberating feeling.

Please remember me in your prayers this week. Specifically pray for strength & for everyone to stay well. With this new strand of flu going around, it makes me not want to get out too much. I had the nicest conversation with a lady from school. Her daughter & Austin were in the same class last year. She is a cancer survivor twice from leukemia, which hit her at age 12, then again before going off to college at 18. What an inspiration she was for me!! God has put so many wonderful people in my life to keep my spirits up, as well as be my prayer warriors. You all know who you are & I love you & thank you for helping me & my family through this.

There are two scriptures that really got my attention this week: The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 1 Peter 5:10
It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. Psalm 18:32 As I go through this process, I know He is going to get me to where I need to be. All things come through His hands. He allows things in my life for a greater purpose than I often understand.
