Praise the Lord My Soul!

Just want to let you know I'm doing well and I feel like I'm getting stronger every day.  Not only am I getting stronger but I feel so much peace and feel so good mentally.   I'm so humbled and grateful for your love and prayers. 

My next visit to UCSF is the 11/21 the day before Thanksgiving!  Just getting my shot and having some blood drawn for my labs.  That's it! 

Hope you have a great week!

 
Jesus, I Trust in You!
 
Love to you!

Take That Cancer!

POW!  Take that cancer!  This  week I recieved my blood test results and my cancer markers have decreased "significantly" from last month!  So happy! 

My doctor was pleasantly surprised and didn't expect such a good result so soon.  At my last doctor visit, she said don't be surprised if this new medicine doesn't reduce your cancer very much.  She really wants to try the next medicine on the list which has better results, but my health insurance won't let her.   My doctor called me this week to give me the good news on blood results.  She is very happy and so am I.  I'm not in the normal range yet, but I'm on my way.

Thanks so much for your prayers!  I know this positive outcome is because your prayers!  I'm so grateful!  May God be the Glory! 

Hope you have a fantastic week! God is good...ALL the time!

Hugs and Blessings!

Right Turn!

Left here, no right turn!  Yep we (Jack and I) got lost on the way to my appointment in San Francisco.  The traffic and weather made it a little challenging too.  Luckly we weren't too late. 

My doctor was pleased with my progress so far.  We are monitoring my gallbladder.  My doctor said she wanted me to recover from radiation before I would consider any surgery.  I feel good, but not 100% .  When she receives my lab results, she said she'd call me and let me know how my cancer markers were progressing.  We also discussed how I can stepped down my pain medication.  Thank God!

We also went over the side effects of my bone therapy again.  My doctor stressed that it was important that I take plenty of Calicium and Vitamin D.  I have to say I had a little anxiety about having that injection, I'm not good with needles.  After my doctor appointment it was off the Infusion Center for my bone therapy injection.

Small world, I ran into a sweet friend of my mine at the Infusion Center who is going through breast cancer treatment.  She was having her last chemo treatment.  It was so nice to talk and laugh with her.  She looks fantastic!  May God continue to heal you my sweet friend.  You know who you are "wink"!

When the nurse came to give me my injection in my arm, I gritted my teeth and said go for it!  (saying a little prayer to myself).  She said I would feel a little bee sting.  What?? I didn't feel anything?! Praise God! 

Well that's about it folks!  Thanks for your love and prayers.  Love to you and your family!  Hope you enjoy watching the Giants in the World Series!

Hugs and Blessings,
