moving in the right direction
YAY! Good news at the doctor today. The Gemzar seems to be effective and the nodules in my lungs are slowly shrinking. Mark and I didn’t quite know what to do with good news, it’s been a while!
I’ll have a week off from chemo next week, then start again on the 21st. We’ll add in the second drug this time: Avastin. I’ll have chemo every other week until it’s time to check again.
I’m feeling so relieved about this. It came at just the right time in my chemo cycle too since my bad day(s) are right now. Helps me know that all this body-achy pain and other random side effects are well worth it. And I’m grateful that I can do it every other week rather than muscling through eight in a row like we just did.
Praise God for this lovely news!
(Now, back to bed for me–with bright hope for a good day tomorrow!)

During devotions this morning I wrote your name down in my Bible and then prayed for healing. About 10 minutes later I checked my morning emails and read yours. Talk about a faithful God! Thank you Lord! We’re rejoicing with you guys! Yippee! Have a great day!
Love you!
