Friday was not the day I planned!! I’ve had pain in the back of my leg since last week, and developed a rash the past few days. My oncologist’s office had me go to the ER to make sure that I didn’t have a blood clot.
The good news? No blood clot!! 🙌
The not-as-good news? I have shingles. 😕 The pain is very tolerable, so that is a huge blessing.
Since this is the third infection/virus I’ve had in the past several weeks, the doctor wants to stop the chemo med to let my immune system have a brief break, and may go to a lower dose when I start taking it again. A little scary, because the medicine is working well to fight cancer and it makes me nervous to stop taking it.
Even though it wasn’t the day I planned, I am finding it easier to roll with the changes. To be resilient. To not be frustrated, but to trust that God is in control and is surprised by none of this. 🙂 Good things can come in seasons of rest!!
“My help comes from the Lord, who made the heavens and the earth! He will not let you stumble and fall; the one who watches over you will not sleep. Indeed, he who watches over Israel never tires and never sleeps. The Lord himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.... The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.” Psalm 121:2-5, 8 NLT
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” James 1:2-4 NIV
