Ok cheerleaders.... we are almost there. I had three days off the med (Fri, Sat, Sun) instead of two. They gave me the choice to take it that third day or wait one more day and I still felt pretty awful on Sunday so I waited till Monday. I actually continued to improve through Wednesday though, my mouth feeling almost normal on Tues and Wed. I had energy on Wednesday and just felt good. It was wonderful.
Today is Thursday and I have now had 4 doses again so it is starting to build up in my system and bring back the queeziness, diarrhea, sore mouth etc. FUN! It's ok, I only have 3 more pills after today. I can do that no matter how sick I get. Depending on how this week finishes out, we will determine whether or not to drop my dose to start the next round.
Thank you for continuing to cheer me on. I have gotten such wonderful notes and calls and emails lately, just when I needed them. I am trying to keep a determined spirit, to fight this cancer with all I have and yet do it with a yieldedness to God's will for my life and my family. As I have said before, I KNOW He can heal me, and I pray that He will use this medicine to do so. But I also know that myself and my family have lessons to learn through this experience too, and I want to allow Him to teach me through it.
The business insurance issue continues to drag on..... we reached the christian agent who sold us the policy way back when. He left the insurance business to go into full time ministry a few years ago. He completely understands what is going on as a stall tactic from the company and he is willing to testify or write letters or whatever is needed to back us up that the policy is what we believe it to be and says what we understood it to say, that the intent of that policy is as we have documented, etc. Hopefully this will help as the insurance company itself has been trying to wangle every way they can to say it doesn't really mean this and doesn't really pay that etc. ARGH.
Please pray I will get through the last of this round with a proper attitude and with JOY, for all the blessings I have, and with HOPE for the future!
