“God gives me power when I am worn out and strength when I am weak.” Isaiah 40:29 

^^*^^

It's been a pretty good week. However, physically I notice changes; i.e. fatigued, nauseous, lacking appetite and headaches ... will take some getting used to for the duration of the treatments.

Physically, the worst is the day after … I was sicker than a dog and had to leave work early! After that it takes about three days to where I even begin to feel better. And by the fifth day I’m feeling great. The day before my treatment, I'm feeling frisky and wonderful ... to have such days 24/7 again, I can't wait!

To keep myself going I focus on each day as it is given to me. When tired and when possible I rest. When feeling nauseous I take my Phenergan … it helps to take the edge off, but I still feel nauseous. As for the headaches I take regular aspirin which seems to help. And even though I may loose my appetite, which is highly unusual for me, I force myself to eat.

Though treatments are pretty much dictating my life for now I have to admit that life is good. The icing on this past week; good and faithful friends have made it even better. Thank you y’all! Your warm and kind thoughts, your help, including your prayers have helped me get through this journey ... y'all are the best! And last but not least, therapy … this is where I draw my energy to get through this. However, above all I know that God is beside me and is giving me peace … yes, God is Good!

Well, today is round 3 with 3 remaining. At least I’m at the halfway point.

Until Tomorrow ...
