Feeling fantastic! Unlike the last four rounds of chemo, this new round with Taxol and Herceptin was a breeze with absolutely no nausea! I can't help but wonder if the nurse even administered chemo to me? I'm floored with how great I feel but am also thankful for God's continuing mercies upon me.
Getting ready for tomorrow's visit to the chemo clinic. Hopefully I can squeeze in a movie or two since I'll probably be stuck in the clinic for more than 3 hours. Thanks Jean C for providing a healthy supply of chick flick DVDs to help pass the time.
God bless!

New Cocktail
More than once I've been told to update my blog more often. I don't know why I have been neglecting my poor blog. I'll definitely make a concerted effort to keep you up to date in regards to my health and state of mind.
Can you believe I'm half-way done with chemotherapy? As triumphant and relieving it is to know that I've hit the half-way mark, I can't help but struggle with feelings of nervousness as I prepare for tomorrow's round of chemo. I'll be administered with a new "cocktail" of chemo drugs and am not looking forward to the side effects. But I have to maintain my trust in the Lord and take comfort in His sovereignty. As I shared with the moms in my weekly bible study, I want to be able to find joy during this time of struggle and uncertainty. Though I may not understand why this trial has been placed in my life, I believe that God has orchestrated every single event in my life for His own glory.
So, I've committed to memorizing a set of Fighter Verses with a couple of friends from church. I'm not exactly astute when it comes to memorization (I blame MOMnesia) so this is going to be quite a challenge for me but one I'm truly looking forward to. Here's the first one I'm currently meditating on:
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. YOu will seek me and find me. When you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you, declares the Lord." Jeremiah 29: 11-14a
Please keep me in your prayers as I begin weekly doses of chemotherapy. Pray that my body would respond well to the drugs and that side effects would be minimal. And though I will be hit with fatigue and possibly nausea, pray that it would not cause me to lose patience with my children and my husband.
Thank you and God bless!
