Well, over the weekend, I started having some trouble getting comfortable at night. Certain positions made me feel like I couldn't catch my breath. Today, when I went to the oncologist for Herceptin, just keeping up with the nurse walking down the hall had me winded. So, I am back on the chemo, had an x-ray and also have an 2-D Echo of my heart scheduled for tomorrow. There is fluid around my heart and that may be the cause of the shortness of breath. I will soon have a CT scan also.
I cried today like I haven't done in a long time. All I wanted was to get through December with no chemo - to feel good and be able to attend my boys' Christmas happenings. I am thankful for the very short time I had off but it is never long enough.

How discouraging. I'm sorry you have to endure more chemo now... Thank you Lord for your constant presence with us ~ encourage and strengthen my sister ~ give her your comfort and your heart. Show me how I can be a good friend to her and help her not to be afraid to ask for help. Help her to feel your love and our love.
