Update

Well, the last test came in. I have a medium to high probability that the cancer could return.....so.....I start chemo next week. I have a medi port put in on Thursday and start chemo on Friday. I will go every other week for 16 weeks. 

What I don't know:
1. How I will feel after treatments
2. If I will be able to stay on the treatment course
3. If I'll be able to stay working the schedule I want to.

The unknown is the part that bothers me the most so..... let's get on to ......


What I do know:
1. I will lose my hair!
2. There's wifi in the chemo room!
3. I will try to bless those around me having chemo too!

Speaking of blessing those around me, I am launching a project. My physicians are extremely optimistic as they have all stated "Medically things look good, and you have an amazing support system." I do have an amazing support system, and I would like to help those that do not. I am doing a chemo care package project. They will be zippered bags that will include items such as chapstick, lotion, peppermints, lifesavers, notes of encouragement and notepads and pens. I am also collecting lap blankets, hats, warm socks, and water bottles. These items will be distributed to chemo patients who do not have the type of support systems I do in hopes that we can make someones treatment experience a little easier. If you feel led to donate any of the above items, or money to buy these items I would truly appreciate it. You can send things to me, or take them to any of the Pioneer School buildings, or drop them off at the Springville First Presbyterian church. If you live too far away from me, donate to a cancer treatment center near you. Donate money, blankets or things, or your time to visit with someone who has no one to help them through the treatment process. 


Facebook message me if you have any questions.

Thank you so much for your continued prayers, thoughts, and support!
