Before giving an update on what's happening in my life I wanted to reflect on a very special friend that is in her final journey to the Lords arms. I'm deeply saddened that she will be gone from this earth. She gave me so much support and inspiration. Unfortunately, this disease brought us closer together as she knew exactly what I was going through. I was so inspired by her support and how positive she was but she too allowed me and understood my bad days. I did speak to her a couple of months ago and she seemed very well and upbeat. This is a reminder on how quickly things can change in the mestastic world. I will miss my sweet friend terribly. Her family will need all the love and prayers as they continue in this world without this beautiful soul. May the angels light Lorena's path into the arms of the Lord. You will never be forgotten my sweet friend.
My medical update! Since my last entry a lot has happened! I did post on Facebook a video after I was released from the hospital in November of last year. Well since then fortunately not a lot has happened to me medically. I've been on a new chemo medicine since November of last year when I was released from the hospital. The medicine is called Xeloda and I take 3 pills, twice a day. I've been responding pretty well since my last scan in January of this year and my labs from last month. I will probably have another scan next month. I feel pretty good just a lot fatigue.So death is at work in us, but life in you. Since, then, we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed, therefore I spoke,” we too believe and therefore speak, knowing that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and place us with you in his presence. Everything indeed is for you, so that the grace bestowed in abundance on more and more people may cause the thanksgiving to overflow for the glory of God.2 Corinthians 4:12-15
Personally, I took a little trip to New Orleans in February of this year. It wasn't a trip to see all the sights but just to visit with my friends. It was so nice and amazing to see everyone. My friends are so special it's like time hasn't passed by. We were there during Mardi Gras so we were able to see some parades which was awesome. My friend Susan from Florida traveled to meet us and stayed a few days with us. My sister, Tina and her husband also stay a few days with us. I wasn't able to see everyone but maybe I will travel there again sometime.
My next planned trip is to Las Vegas in October to see Donny & Marie! Some of my friends are going too and I can't wait, it's going to be a blast!!! I know D&M is not for everyone but I so appreciate them coming to celebrate! We have 16 confirmed so far meeting us in Las Vegas. Let me know if your interested and I can send you the details of the trip.
Until next time may you have joy and love in your life always!
Love and God Bless You!
