Treatment Update

As I type this, I am in the Huntsman infusion center at the South Jordan U of U facility.  I have taken an anti-nausea pill and then an oral chemotherapy.  We had an adventure getting blood for labs, but got something to 'stick' (Ouch :{})  After labs come back OK, I will get the IV chemo.  Following that (when the alarm goes off on my phone), I will take another oral chemo.  As some point after the IV chemo is done, I will make it back to work.  I get to take the oral chemo Monday though Friday this week, then  I get a break for two weeks.  We will repeat this three week cycle then do another scan to see how effective it has been.   The smaller the better.

I am so grateful for the caring and professional medical staff I am able to interact with and have interacted with in the past.  My experience has been that the staff have a genuine concern for me and want we to be cancer free.  They want me to be as comfortable as possible and do a great job as getting me what I need.  I will forever be grateful for all those that have been apart of my medical treatment.  Thank you so much : )

I know that God lives and loves us all.  He is walking with us through our trials and our celebrations.  He is waiting for us to return to Him as an eternal family unit.  I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ - it is the source of my peace and joy.  Let us all love one another as Jesus would do.
