Sixth Chemo Treatment

On January 20, 2010 was my last Chemo Treatment it was the sixth one. Everything went great as usual no problems. I basically reacted the same to all of them as far as the side effects go, like they told me how I react the first time will be how I react to all of them. Actually this last one I had no bone pain at all that I get from my 24 hour shot. It is like "growing pains" annoying, but I never got them, which they normally last a couple of days. So I was really happy about that. My Oncologist Doctor said he was surprised how well I did with the Chemo. Well we all know why!

I am happy that part is over with, I do hope and pray I do not have to do that ever again though. I will have to do Radiation to make sure they get it all, remove some lymph nodes and tumor, and continue my Herceptin treatment every three weeks until October. I just had CT Scans done and MRI. So I do not know that will change anything. MRI was a little different as I laid on my back this time and it was very tight fitting if you were claustrophobic I do not think you would make it. It was the same train horn blowing sound, with knocking and clonking and like the loudest jackhammer sounds. The ear plugs do not help much you just have to make your mind take you some where else. It was easier being on my back though.

Lot's of Doctor appointments for awhile. I still need all those wonderful prayers, like I probably have said before, I would not have done this well with the Chemo so far if it was not for all of you and those wonderful prayers and fasting. I do still need your support!!!

Some wonderful quotes, scriptures that have really helped me.

"Part of the promise of the Atonement is the blessing that comes after all we can do. When we are not enough, Christ can make up the difference. But we have to ask Heavenly Father, in the name of Christ, for the added strength."

"Seek this Jesus" (Ether 12:41) the One who encourages us to build, to perform great works, to prove ourselves worthy and obedient. Who offers solutions, who encourages us to search for ourselves and find the answers we long for.
Seek this Jesus, who will not let you cross the water in darkness, who will prepare the way before you, who knows what you have been through, who knows what is still to come. The One who allows the trials because He knows the blessings that will follow. The One who will show you the greater things, who will bring the unspeakable gifts The One who leads us to the promise."

(John 9:3) "that the works of God should be made manifest in him"

"Never underestimate the purpose of the trial. The works of Christ will be made manifest in your life. It is through adversity that we experience the sweetest parts of the Atonement. Enduring our trials allows us to experience the healing power of Jesus Christ. This process strengthens our testimony of the reality of Christ and enables us to eventually help lift the hands of another."

In this life we may have many trials we must endure, but we can do it, never lose faith or be blameful. (Ether 12:6) "Ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith."

I love my family for all of their support, and for all of my wonderful friends, for those of you I have never met, I so appreciate your donations that continue to help me so much. You are ALL SO AWESOME! I Love you and Thank you!!!
