Wednesday Chemo Treatment

Today I had my last chemo treatment for this month. Some good news, and some not-so-good news. I gained two pounds since last week, which is good. Credit goes to the church cooks & bakers who are fattening me up! We have had 3 meals brought to our house this week, and we are so appreciative of the loving care being provided by our congregation. Unfortunately, both my white & red blood cell counts were down today, so the oncologist cut my chemo dose in half. I was given an injection to raise my red count, and sent home with a syringe & medication for tomorrow that will help raise my white count. Fortunately, I have a week off from treatments, and should be in good shape when I return for the start of my next regimen on August10th. I met a new cancer patient today who was having her first treatment. She is from nearby Thomson, GA and we enjoyed getting to know her, and her husband. We were able to encourage them about the chemo process and give some tips on how what to expect the next few days following treatment.

Thanks for your prayers during my treatment today. I felt the presence of God while you prayed for me. With God's help, I plan to work at the church tomorrow until I get tired. Thanks for caring enough to stop and visit my website today, and for caring enough to pray for my healing. I love you!
