Less than 36 hours until the last chemo. My appointment is on Wednesday at 8:30am. Hard to believe we're here - but we are!!
I have felt great since Friday, and we have really enjoyed the last four days. We've seen friends, had a sleepover with Tucker on Friday and a sleepover with Clara tonight, I got to be at LF West on Sunday, we have rearranged furniture, taken walks - all the "normal" things that we can so easily take for granted. And after gaining 35 pounds, I LOST weight this week!! Yay!! Thank you to everybody who has prayed for us and encouraged us.
I have lots of plans for this spring: to spend time with family and friends, to co-lead a lifeGROUP beginning the end of March, to be a part of our Easter celebration at LF West, and to have my hair grow back!! I am ready to be back to a more normal routine, but I am so thankful for the things that God has showed us along the way, and I never want to forget them. Who would have thought that this journey would teach me so much about JOY??
One more chemo, one more recovery, one more surgery. We can do this. I definitely understand it doesn't mean the cancer journey is over - I will be on daily meds for at least five years, will have ongoing scans and blood work - but being finished with this part will be a HUGE milestone!
Thanks for your continued prayers!!
"Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up." (Proverbs 12:25 NLT)
