Hi!  I know it's been a long time but I'm back.  I had chemo on Christmas Eve day, but it didn't affect my Christmas at all.  Our family was all together and we all wrote affirmations about each person that they keep and read whenever they want.  Christmas morning I went to Kelsey's dad's house and all his family was there and Kelsey opened her presents and we had breakfast, then Kelsey and I went to my sister's house where my family was again and we had a great dinner and played cards.  Saturday I was a little tired and I stayed in my PJ's all day and watched TV (football--my favorite).

I saw the Physician's asst. a couple weeks ago and she said, "So we took you off Taxol and we'll keep you off until Feb. when you have your next Pet scan, then we might put you back on it."  That was horrible for me to hear, because my hair is just starting to grow back, then it will come out again, so that means I better start liking my wig more.  My neuropathy is better but still there.  We will talk to the dr. at our next visit so I'll see what he has to say.  I have to realize that I have a chronic illness and I may have to be put on chemo throughout my life, but I pray the Lord heals me and I don't have to be on chemo much longer.

I went to phys. therapy today and my leg is getting stronger, I have to just keep doing my strengthening exercises.  My leg brace also came in today so I have an appt. tomorrow to get that fitted.  Please don't laugh when I'm wearing work clothes and Tennis Shoes--YIKES!

I hope all of you enjoyed Christmas as much as I did and I wish all of you a very healthy, prosperous and blessed 2010!!!!!  Lots of love and appreciation to all my blog friends and family!

  1. Hang tough Jana! You are doing a fine job working through all these issues, set backs, and improvements! The whole range is a lot to take in! A real roller coaster ride. Your Christmas photos look fantastic! I am so very proud of you.
    And don't worry about the shoe thing. I wear sneakers all the time because my feet hurt! Jeans or dress pants...doesn't matter. People are looking at your smile and joy...not your sneakers!
    If it requires that you stay on the chemo...so be it. You can do it. Your strength and God's help.....you can do anything!
    Glad to hear that your leg is beginning to work a little better now. Keep up the exercise. Tough to do, but in the long run it will be worth it.
    Our prayers for health and thanks giving for His blessings in your life continue. How wonderful to have so much family so close by that you can all be together....more than once in this Blessed Season!
    Hugs and love!

  2. Jana, I'm so happy to hear you had a wonderful Christmas with your family. Keep holding on to God's promises. You are such an inspiration to others.
    Your Christmas card this year was so nice. You and Kelsey are so beautiful! I loved it...
    You will continue to be in my prayers.

    Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 1:2
