Well, I will have finished 4 of the 6 chemo sessions when I leave today. It had been nice to be able to go to the South Jordan facility for many of the sessions. The nurses and staff are great at both places but the traffic is much better on the west side of the valley. We are having the usual side effects of chemo - blood counts drop, sometimes requiring transfusions, aches, fatigue, etc... Give me a couple of weeks and I will be back to my usual self. Angela and I have the opportunity to speak in church on Sunday. We are talking about nurturing and helping others. We have been on the receiving end of this for a while now. We pray everyday that we can be of some good to someone each day. We have received so much help from family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers. We have many experiences of others nurturing us. Thank you so much!
Once I am done with chemo, I will have more scans. At that point we will decide whether any other treatment makes sense. I have a pesky tumor in my right arm pit that may need to be removed, but we won't make that decision until after the scan.
Big thanks to everyone who wished me happy birthday and made it a wonderful day for me. I have been truly blessed. I have so much to be thankful for. I know that heavenly Father will allow me to be with my family as long as possible. He is merciful and kind to his children. I try to live each day in gratitude, as there is so much to be grateful for.
Thanks again for so the live and support you give me and my family.
