Only 1 more left!

This has been quite a week for me - emotionally and physically! Yesterday, I woke up not feeling well and I didn't feel able to keep up with my ball of energy, also known as a 2 year old named Dawson. My wonderful mother-in-law took him unexpectedly and I took 2 naps. Today, I am feeling much better.

Lots of things have happened this week - from my Internet going down (an inconvenience) to receiving bad news about 2 friends' cancer status, along with some other things in between. I am also hesitant to be too excited about my last chemo treatment on Monday. I have some tests scheduled at the end of this month to see what the cancer looks like after chemo. I have heard a lot lately about people who thought the cancer was responding and then test results come back saying otherwise. I had a chat with God last night about my doubts and how I want my faith to believe that this cancer is gone or at least on the path of going away. He has brought me this far and looking back on the last 4 months, there have been some difficult moments, but overall, it hasn't been too bad. I know He will give me strength, no matter what the results are.

Hey Barbara,
Sorry to hear you had a bad day Friday, hope you are feeling better today. Dewayne and I enjoyed the Spiderman picture, that was too cute! Enjoy every one of those moments because they go quickly. Mine is graduating this year, just yesterday was his 5th birthday! I hope things are going better for you today, I wish we were closer that we could help in some way. We do pray for you and your family every day. All of our best, Paula and Dewayne.

I just caught up on your blog after being away for awhile. Thanks for updating us. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. It has been so great to be able to see you in person. I hope that Dawson is feeling better. Glad David had a good birthday.
