I just got back from my third chemo treatment. This was the smoothest one so far. No reactions at all. I guess my body is getting used to what they are pumping in me. The GREATEST NEWS again.... NO NEULASTA SHOT - which means no shattered bone feeling!!! My blood counts were all in a good range. I am so thankful! I guess washing my hands 1000 times a day is working. ;) Thank you all so much for your prayers. Again, I can't tell you how much they mean to me. Last night Talmage gave me a priesthood blessing. It brought me peace and comfort. I know I am not alone. For that I am truly grateful.
So this was my last treatment at this current treatment center. I was sad to say good-bye to my awesome nurse. She was so great. I always felt cared for and like I was in very good hands. Thanks so much "T" for getting the IV in the first time EVERY TIME :) My LAST treatment will be at a different center because of the Thanksgiving holiday. Wow! Do I ever have a lot to be thankful for.
Well, I feel the effects starting to kick in. I will probably post again in about a week after I wake up from my chemo hibernation. haha
My deepest love and gratitude to you all.

Crying tears of joy.....Joy because your almost finished with your treatments.....Joy because I can't believe how blessed I am to have such an amazing, inspiring and beautiful sister who I am also lucky enough to call my best friend.....

Your attitude is so great! You're handling everything so gracefully. Hang in there. I hope you find joy in the small things this week while enduring chemo side-effects. Ugh....i hate chemo! Im remembering the taste. xoxo

You are a pillar of strength and encouragement,touching many lives and lifting us all. Love and hugs to you and your darling family! I loved the poem on your other post (I commented but it went to cyber space I guess :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love that either you or Talmage thought to bring the mums (that look a lot like sunflowers) to lighten the mood in the treatment room. Love you. Find your inner strength to get through this next week.
