Treatment
Yesterday was my first chemotherapy treatment. I went in at 9am and didn't leave until around 1pm. I had a hard time getting to sleep the night before so by the time we got home I was pretty beat. So far I haven't felt too nauseous, just tired. I'll update more when I have more energy.

The battle belongs to the Lord
On February 26, I had an appointment with Dr.Bronstein, my oncologist, concerning my Chemotherapy. Starting March 22,I will be receiving treamtent of the drugs Cytoxan & Texotere once every 3 weeks for a total of 6 treatments. My last treatment will be on July 6, 2010. (A day before my 72nd birthday.)
I am thankful that I have my faith in God and my trust in His Word. I know He has my life in His hands. The love and prayers from family & friends helps my journey from being so fearful. I can't help but think of others who have been down this road before me. My classmate & friend, Wanda, was such an example of courage during the fight for her life. It is that sort of strength & courage I need as I step into my own battle. Though there are times I may feel alone I realized last friday, when Paul & I were at the Cancer Center, that there are many people going through what I am. St. Mary's Cancer Center was such a busy place.
I have been reading about Chemo and how important it is to eat a healthy diet, exercise and maintain a positive attitude. I think changing old habits at 70+ could be a challenge. :-) But, my family will be my watch dog to make sure I am doing what is required of me as well as encouraging me along the way.
Thank you again for your prayers, love & support!
II Cor 12:9
And Jesus said, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.".
