My sister's visit

Two of my younger sisters came to visit me this weekend from Nebraska.  The original plan was for them to be here for my last round of aggressive chemo, but since everything got pushed back, they were here in between treatments.  We all enjoyed naps, shopping and relaxing together.  I am so thankful for you Chris and Nancy!  Thank you for taking time away from your family and work to be with me.

Visit with Friends

My good friend Kristen and her mom Wendy came to visit this week while she was home from Hawaii.  I enjoyed seeing them in person and love staying caught up on Facebook with them.  I am so thankful for them both and for their friendship.

Round 5 of Chemo

I was able to receive round 5 of chemo today.  My good friend Tina from church came with me this round.

Chemo is a go!

My white cell count and absolute neutrafils are good enough for my fifth round of chemo tomorrow. Please pray for the treatment and reactions.  Thank you friends.

Still no chemo

Hello my dear family and friends,

 

Thank you for praying for my blood levels to improve.  My hemoglobin went up which is a huge praise since I was close to needing a blood transfusion.  Thank you for praying for that.  Unfortunately, my white count is still to low for me to have chemo this week.  Please pray that it will go up so I can have my next treatment.  Please pray that I will honor the Lord and keep my eyes on Him and not my circumstances.

 

Thank you for your prayers and support.  I am so grateful for each of you.

 

In His hand and with love,

Sue

Thoughts today

Today God reminded me of the scripture " thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.  God lights our path a ways out so we don't trip and fall, but He also uses a lamp right at our feet to lead and guide our every step.  Today, that is where I feel I am.  Asking Him to guide my every step with the lamp of His Word.  Today two people gave me scriptures that "God provides what we need for today, like His manna from heaven.  You can't store it up, but it is there every day".

Scan Results

Hello my prayer warriors, 

 

I have some good news and some not so good news.  The tumor in the rt lung shrunk a very little bit, and there is a cancer lesion in the left lung and left 7th rib that have shrunk.  It is good that they have shrunk, but a shock to me to find out the cancer had metastised to two other places I didn't know about.  The spot in the brain is gone.  The dr can't explain it.  He doesn't think it was cancer, but he doesn't know.  I could not have my chemo today because my blood work is to low.  It is not dangerously low, but too low for chemo.  My hemoglobin is very low.  Please pray that it will not get any lower, otherwise I will need a blood transfusion.  Please also pray for my blood to improve so I can have chemo next week.  Praise God the tumors are shrinking! 

 

In His hand and thank you for all of your prayers.
