Post-Chemo 4 treatment update

Hello my dear prayer warriors,
 
Today I had my 4th round of chemo at KU cancer center.  I had blood drawn, met my doctor's nurse practitioner, and had chemo.  Two of my dear friends stayed with me while I had chemo and we had a little picnic lunch together, which helped the time go by so quickly.

My blood work is up remarkably in my opinion.  My white count is up more than it has ever been since I started chemo and the white cells that were so low the first time after chemo are up from .5 to 2.5 and are now 6.3.  Praise God for such good white blood count.  My hemoglobin is down though, so please pray it will stay where it is or go up.  It is 8.1 and if if goes to 7 I will need a blood transfusion.  Also, please pray that the chemo will continue to shrink or get rid of the cancer cells.  Our God is a God of miracles.  My oncologist from Az. sent me a text today to check on me and see how I am doing.  I was very touched by his care.  He is such a kind man.  I am blessed that God  gave me the opportunity to be treated by him.

I feel good and so far no side effects again except fatigue.  I want to thank you all for your prayers, words of encouragement, cards, texts, emails, and meals.  God has richly blessed me through all of you, and I pray for Him to bless you as you continue to walk this journey with me.  May God be honored and glorified in all we say and do.  

In His hand and with love,

Sue
