I received my 4th chemotherapy treatment on May 26, I'm officially on the down slope of the treatment hill, over half way to the finish line. My labs came back and I got another good report on my blood profile. Since we are more concerned with the white blood count which was 8.3 (normal is 4-11) my 4th treatment went by without any big side effects. Still very tired during that first week post treatment. As soon as I near my next treatment I'm starting to perk up and feel better, then I start the cycle over again. I'm still thankful that I haven't had any problems with nausea, just a bit with digestion, I need to be sure I'm eating several small, healthy meals throughout the day with lots of water. I know prayers from family & friends is the answer and I give Him praise. The promises that God gives us in His word keeps us day by day.
I haven't posted any pictures of me with my new hair. Here's one from Mother's Day.
This past weekend we had family visiting from Salem, you can look on Jamie's blog for more photos but here are a few of me that she took.

Grandma,
I'm glad you are getting closer the end! I know this hasn't been an easy process for you, but you have taken it in stride. You've kept your faith & a smile on your face and handled it with grace. I will keep praying that radiation will not be necessary & praying that God continues to give you the strength & courage to over come, if it is. I love you!
