Wow, I have to be one of the most blessed persons in the world! Yesterday was supposed to be my last chemo but when I got there, the nurse said the doctor has me off for the usual week, then scheduled again. My mom then reminded me that he wanted to have the authrization if we need it pending the outcome of the PET scan. I have not received authorization yet for the PET scan so I don't have a date yet--keep praying!

Anyway, after chemo my family and a couple special friends went to my favorite restaurant (Fish Co.) for lunch. We enjoyed great food, but the company was so outstanding I was overwhelmed! We laughed and talked for close to 2 1/2 hours and I was higher than a kite when I left there. It was overwhelming too that Kelsey and her friend bought me flowers and a card and I got a couple other gifts when this was supposed to be me repaying for all each of them had done for me. This was an awesome day!!!

After being so "high" on life, I was a chatter box the rest f the day and had to call each of them to tell them how wonderful my day was and how much I love them. My family never ceases to amaze me!!! Usually I sleep a couple of hours after my chemo and lunch but yesterday I was so hyper that I got a lot done and even had 4 of Kelsey's friends spend the night because they were preparing for the Homecoming game which is tonight.

I am really feeling good despite my "crazy legs" and my fingers from the neuropathy. I do a lot of resting after work but overall I am doing much better! Thank you for your continued prayers and support!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!

I'm back.........For those of you who follow my blog regularly, I'm sorry I haven't blogged for a while. I was just lazy, then I had a computer glitch (which is usually me).

Today I had my next-to-the-last chemo treatment and I saw the dr. The dr. had a lot of good news--my potassium levels are back up and my white blood cell counts are up but I will continue to get the Leukine shot tomorrow and one more the day after my last chemo to keep my immune system up.

My neuropathy is slightly decreasing but I still have to be very cautious. The dr. is scheduling my next PET scan to be done in the next two weeks and I'll see him again in three weeks. Next Thurs. is my LAST chemo (hopefully forever). God willing, the PET scan will show that my body has respionded well to the chemo and I won't have to have more later. If I do, I'll deal with it then. Please be praying about my PET scan and I'll let you know the date when I find out.

Like Betty's comment to my last blog, I have so much to be thankful for and I don't know God's plan in all of this, but I definitely know He has a perfect plan for my life!!! I would love your prayers also that God will use me for His purpose and plan. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
I love all you blog followers, another huge blessing!

I went to the dr. yesterday and described my ever-worsening neuropathy.  The dr. prescribed an over-the-counter pill to take to help with it and when I get my next round of chemo, they will decrease the Taxol (which is causing the neuropathy) by 10%.  I can't wait to be able to type, button my pants, feel my feet, and especially to be able to walk without a cane.

Yesterday and today I made it to work, but I am exhausted--all the chemo has culminated to tire me out.  When I do get home from work, I'm useless.  I'm working tomorrow, but after that I'll be off until next Tuesday and I hope I can get something done and be able to rest.

I hope all of you working people get Columbus Day off too!!  Thank you for your prayers and support!!!
