Tuesday and the oncologist

So... chemotherapy. That word makes my blood pressure rise, just thinking it.  Saying it is even worse.
So... I have decided that cancer sucks.
I start chemotherapy on the 22nd of February, and we will go from there.

Physically, I really only hurt when I'm cold, which seems to happen at funny times, not just going outside, sometimes standing by the window or just when you get a shiver down your back, that hurts.
All my incisions and medical stuff from the surgery is healing well .
Thanks again for your prayers and cards and little chats. Please don't stop chatting with me, it really helps.
Thanks,
Mary

  1. Lets look at this chemo as a positive thing, as a road to healing - maybe the bumpy road - but it can be a good thing to get rid of the bad thing...
    Is. 41:13 For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Claim His promises I am.
    Love you much but He loves you even more.

  4. “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” (James 5:16)

    A great number of fervent prayers of righteous people for you, Mary, are a given.

  7. Thanks for all these comments. Yes, Tuesday was a downer, I had a hissy fit in the car that Al got to witness and my pitty party lasted about 24 hours.
    All your encouragements have helped me see, this is a bump in the road, an eternal road and I will not let this stop or slow down my journey with the Lord.
    Thanks,

  8. Although we have been quiet, we are praying for you, Mary, and you are daily in our thoughts. A hissy fit is allowed. Bottling up your fears, anger and sadness is not going to help your healing so let it out, girlfriend!

    Yes, Cancer sucks. Yes, God is good.
    Yes, we love you dearly.
