Another week has flown by…this week I was more exhausted from the chemo. Working and chemo can be demanding on my body!
I had my treatment on Monday, but I was able to work at school in the morning. Tuesday I was able to work all day, but by the afternoon I was running low. Wednesday I stayed home and slept, this is the day that I felt like I had hit a wall. I slept most of the day and then forced myself to stay awake until 9:00 P.M. because I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. No worries, I slept all night and then returned to work on Thursday, but by lunch I was running low again so I came home and slept two hours before my brain MRI scan. Then that evening I had my hair cut!!!! I am so grateful that I still have my hair!!! Friday I was able to work the entire day but I went to bed by 9:00 P.M. Then yesterday I was able to have a normal day!! I really am glad that my side effects from the chemo have been minimal.
Friday evening Dr. Harker called to let me know that the scan showed that the spot on my brain are stable!!!!! The spots are still of a concern, but they haven’t grown so that will give the doctors the green light to make my next round of treatment more aggressive. I will be doing chemo and radiation during the month of February. I pray that my body will respond well to this new treatment and that the cancer will go into remission! I want to enjoy my summer!!! I am going to countdown to summer!
Ron has started his classes at the U and is now in countdown mode, only 15 more classes until he is done! He has decided that he doesn’t want to “walk” through graduation, but he is going to have a class party at his school!
Savanna is enjoying student teaching at Draper Elementary. She has some fun stories about the kids in her class.
Marie is looking forward to sleeping in again tomorrow and Tuesday since she doesn’t have school because it is MLK Day and the end of the quarter! Lacrosse tryouts will begin this week so she will be busy with lacrosse after school now.
Thanks again for your faith and prayers as we go through this trial. We are blessed with such great friends and family.

Ron needs to walk for this graduation, this one is the big kahuna, besides, it would be fun to see him in a cap n gown.
What a blessing that the medical field is continually coming up with new treatments for cancer. There are so many options now. Still rooting for one of our favorite neighbors. I guess you might have a shorter training season, but wouldn't be at all surprised if you are participating in the "race for the cure" again this summer. Thanks for keeping everyone updated on what is going on. Sounds to me like things are starting to turn around.
