2nd round of chemo done




Celebrating that I am home and not in the hospital like last time. Balancing fluids has been better but it is not easy. I have been a little nauseated but not bad. I feel so blessed. I truly feel all the prayers and blessings.

My next round starts on the 19th of August it came around quicker this time. I was grateful for the vacation but now ready to get it going. After the third round they will be doing test to see the effects the treatment is having.

Yesterday I walked to far. I walked with my fiends in the morning and that would have been good for one day but then I went to school with Emma to get her schedule and we ended up going all over. Needless to say I was tired. I'm so glad I was able to go with Emma I just shouldn't have done both things on the same day. I need to spread out my fun. I did sleep well last night which is the first time in a while. Who knew that insomnia was a side effect. I'm learning all kinds of things. The most important is that a positive attitude is very important. It can get you thought the most difficult of times. Live life happy!!!

A new Adventure

I have been getting to take many tests; like CT Scan, biopsy, MRI, PET, and MUGA. I feel like a pin cushion. I have had radio active sugar water put in me and then waited an hour to take glowing pictures. I didn't glow anywhere I wasn't expecting to so that is good. Yesterday they took some of my blood and put radio active stuff in it then put it back in me. I only needed a 20 minute rest. Before they took pictures of my blood pumping through my heart. While I waited my grandson Adam called. He made the wait fly by. Today I get to have a port put in so they can give me chemo. For this test I can't drive myself home so Val is coming with me. This is the one that makes it all seem real. One never wants to have stage 4 cancer. It has come on so gradual always giving information out a little at a time. So the adventure begins. Fight this cance...

The Unexpected

Image
On one of my walks on the river trail in Spanish Fork I was taking photographs with my new camera and I saw this blue flower blowing in the wind.  So I took a few shots and one turned out so stunning.  I am amazed  and so glad I was able to capture the beauty of this flower. Sometimes in life the things that we think are average turn out to be extraordinary.  We are like this flower, whether in the mist of trials or regular life we can find the beauty in our lives.
