Fifth Chemo Treatment

Almost finished with Chemo Treatment, I am sorry for putting this up so late, While I was getting better from the last treatment I just did not feel well enough to get on here and type.
My Fifth Chemo treatment went really well again, (Dec.30th) same side effects as last time. I have been so fortunate that I have never gotten worse or have had really bad side effects. Of course I know I could not have done so well without ALL of your prayers I am thankful for them everyday!
I have my last (6th) Chemo Treatment tomorrow, Wednesday the 20th. I am so glad, last one seemed like it took me weeks to feel better it was kind of getting to me, I was feeling very tired of this all of a sudden. The feeling of nothing tasting good to me and I have to constantly eat small meals because of one of my medications. You do not want to eat, but if you do not you will feel sick, it is just a real "yucky" feeling is the way I describe it, then I lose my taste buds for four days and I get really tired, my skin around my fingertips will peel for 4 days. I know it is no fun and I can not wait till the tenth day comes that is how long it takes till I feel really good again. But like I said I know this is nothing compared to what some people go through, so I can not complain to much at all.
I had a Doctors appointment on the 15th and my Doctor said he was surprised how well I have done with the Chemo Treatment and that I was doing really good. I have Scans and MRI I have to do the beginning of next month, see another Doctor and will have to do radiation yet. I will also have to continue the Herceptin treatment every 3 weeks until October for my Her-2 cancer cells. I was tested to see if I had the receptors for Her-2 which is a protein that helps the cancer to grow quickly. One medication for this type of cancer is the Herceptin, which serves to block signals that help the Tumor to grow it is usually given through IV weekly over 52 weeks,for me every 3 weeks for a year.It will be kind of a pain to have to do this, but of course it will save my life. There is so much to go through it can be quite overwhelming at times. I hope none of you ever have to go through this, get informed and checked regularly!
I am so Thankful so far for how well I have done I pray I can continue to be strong and continue to endure everything well!!!

Joseph Smith said "Whatever God requires is right, no matter what it is, although we may not see the reason thereof till long after the events transpire" (History of the Church 5:135). No matter how long or hard the search, if it brings us closer to Christ, it is worth it. The intensity of the search will make the treasure priceless, one that we will not ever give up.

"Seek the Lord...[for] he be not far from every one of us." -Acts 17:27

May we all be strong in our Journey through life, and be thankful for all that we have been given!

I am truly Thankful for your Prayers and support you all continue to give me!!!
Love, Debbie
